Dekh Nain!
Log tujhe 100 battein bolenge. Your enthusisam is adorable. I love it.
I really dont think theres any harm in asking for help. A few days back I started looking for an internship. As some people know, Mr. Baljit Singh has helped me out immensely since then. He put me in contact with some movers and shakers in my field. As this was happening, another nice hearted Jat, Mr. Ashok Khatri, volunteered to help me.As I write this I am in the process of working things out, in order to intern next summer. I do not know anyone in this country. Had I never asked for help, the process wont have even pushed off. Whether I get an internship or not, I shall forever be grateful to these individuals for all my life. Its a big thing to volunteeer to help. Not everyone ahs the heart to do it.
Baljit sir gave me a good tip: Jats should stop behaving like jats when they come to western societies. Theres this air of arrogance around a jat. He thinks that he can run the whole show, and work the odds in his favor, without any help. Its completely wrong. Honestly, I have had an attitude change since this conversation happened.
Besides, Gagan is right to an extent. I think, just like, me he has had some "khatte berr." hahaha. I mean he seems to have had bad experiences, just like I have had. You will find all kind of people, Jat or non Jat. Some will helpyou, while others will ignore you. Thats how any society is. Its all about the human nature. Those of us, who just pack our bags to make it big here, shouldnt take things to the heart. Becaus,e we will be coming accross a lot of people all the time.
But when your time comes, remember the days when you were struggling. Some day if you can, try to make some young boys life easier by helping him. I am a poor student in this country. I dont ahve much to offer. But I am open to help all that can be expect of me.
Dekh yaar, economize your resources. They are rare.
Good luck with your endeavor. Work very hard. dont look back. Just keep moving ahead.
