𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭 - As a student, work hard to fulfill 3 goals (1) Pay off the loan (2) Get the job (3) Get H1B approved! (3rd one being the most important). Simultaneously make plans to return back to India in 5 years ✈️

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮 - H1B approved🥳 Enjoy the influx of green currency, buy a toyota camry or honda civic! Also, buy a property in Hyderabad!

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯 - Invite parents on visitor visas. Take them on the 4 Dhaam Yatra - Niagra Falls, the Statue of Liberty, the Charging Bull of wall street, and the White House 🙄

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰 - Go to India, finalize a girl, and get married in 3 weeks - the arranged marriage way! Back to the USA.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱 - During weekends and lunchtime with other Indian friends, endlessly discuss 3 topics (1) When are you going to get GC, and is your priority date current? (2) How Modi is transforming India (3) Cricket 🏏

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟲 - Buy a home. Have 2 kids. Spend the next 15 years dropping them off to various classes, attending birthday parties, and visiting home depot for various home projects 🏠

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟳 - By the time, you are in 40s, you have saved enough. The plan for returning back to India has not worked out! Now find ways to spend money. Buy a Tesla or BMW 🚀 Also your Hyderabad property isn't lucrative anymore as INR has further depreciated against $ so enroll into a difficult struggle of selling the property and getting funds back to the states

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟴 - And comes the time for a midlife crisis. A shiny car, big home, green card, and a high-paying job doesn't add substance to your life. Now do something exotic to add flavor to your existence. A marathon race, intermittent fasting or maybe opening a side business!

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟵 - In your 50s, after your kids have graduated from Stanford or MIT, discuss how your life would have been different had you returned to India 5 years after coming to the USA! 🤔
