Five years ago, to this date, I had obtained the much coveted f-1 visa. It was a dream come true and also a window to many more and larger vistas. Today, after an eventful half decade, it lapses. My f-1 visa breathes its last. That colorful and precious document of the US govt. stayed on my passport as a badge of honor, of a promise for a greater future. After all these days weeks and years, its time to let it die. I shall carry the expired body with me until it gets replaced by the h1b coming december. But the soul of an f-1 will live on.
On this day of mixed feelings, I humbly thank my buddies for making the times past all that more remarkable. We all came with bright eyes, sincere passions, unbending ambitions and a couple of suitcases containing our earthly belongings. These f-1 years saw changes, upward, downward,from city to city from apartment to apartment from cloud to cloud. They say that the world has changed forever. I say that we are instruments of that change.
long live the f-1, long live graduate school and cheers to our unstoppable glorious futures.
in solemnity,
Amit
