I figure it is best for me to live life the way I feel fit, rather than have it dictated by some goofy (my appologies if your religious) religion or belief. Anyways what I was trying to get at is...even according to Christians/Catholics maybe...i dunno...someone who blieved in god. "One must help himself before he can help others" Perhaps they are why I hate religion...i've often thought Buddism or Shaoulin monk would be interesting. The Chinese see to know something we all don't. They live forever so it seems, incredibly healthy (the ones that eat) and there's 1.3 billion of them. (I wish i had that much sex :-D ) and I can't ever get enough of KungFu... ;P Actually to be honest I think the north American Native aboriginal people are closest to how life really came to be. Again just my opinion! p.s-Have you ever really tried to get into Canada or USA..? "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr

My company tried to get me a B1 Visa last year but the Visa application was rejected as my salary was too low :-( Nish p.s. If I get a job and the employers sponser my H1B I'd take the first plane to The US/Canada/wherever :-) My most recent CP article :- A newbie's elementary guide to spawning processes www.busterboy.org

Looking at the online job listings, NC looks like a hot bed of development activity compared to Indiana. It is one of the places I have actually considered going to to find contract work. "There's a slew of slip 'twixt cup and lip"

I usually look a Computerjobs.com. I like it better than Monster. They have a few interesting jobs listed in your area. Of course, just because they are listed does not mean they are real jobs (Dmaned recruiters). Indiana simply has no jobs at all. (well, a few VB jobs, which I fortunantly don't have on my resume). The Chicago market looks reasonably healthy and Ohio is still alive. So, I might be hitting the road here in another month of two. "There's a slew of slip 'twixt cup and lip"

Can you imagine life without :- (1) a car for each grown up in the family (2) more than one computer in the house (3) DSL/Cable/T1/T3 (4) having visited a foreign country (5) a credit card with a decent credit limit (6) centralized air conditioning (7) air travel (8) DVD movies The list is only partial, quite partial as a matter of fact...

Gosh Nish, Looks like you're only concerned about material things. IMO money doesn't mean happiness... - xico -

Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: (6) centralized air conditioning I had this flash of an image of Nish laying on his death bed saying "My life was full and happy ... but I never had central air." My only recommendation is not to judge your life based on what you don't have. All of those things are still possibilities. It will take work, and patience, but those things are goals to be achieved.

You cannot change where you were born. You've got four choices: fix your environment, move, learn to like your environment, or do nothing and grumble.
One problem with choice 2 is that many people born in wealthier parts of the world don't want poor energetic enterprising types like Nish moving in and competing with them. The U.S. is pretty strict about people moving in here, especially since Sept. 11. Somehow my government seems to have forgotten that at one time it gave the OK to Emma Lazarus's verse at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. It's even worse in much of Europe. Those of us who live in the first world ought to remind our leaders that it's important to keep the doors open to enterprising foreigners!

Instead of wishing him good luck, I propose we (those of us in the USA) all lobby our bosses to hire him away from his lovely hometown. In return, he should promise us one new article each week for the rest of his life and not complaining anything about the 1st world. ;)
