Chain reaction of H4 visa

Please Note :: This blog might seem too much exaggerated to some of you guys but please bear in mind that this has been written by a person who has reached a height of boredom J and was just about to cross the line of sanity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A typical adamant person who has always been over demanding in ever relationship with the ability of being highly independent, life would definitely seem like living in the Alcatraz prison when she’s on an H4 /dependant visa.

Dependant visa ---- well never knew I had to live up to each and every letter of this word so literally each and everyday .

Life is so monotonous, Life is boring, life is dull, life is unfair, and life is highly frustrating &depressing. In short Life simply sucks!!!!!!

It sucks because u r dependant right from buying a carton of milk to financial aid. It sucks because you simply cant even step out of the house if you don’t know how to drive, it sucks because u r idle all day and u know that that u just hate being idle, it sucks because one fine day you feel like to get back to ure routine s/w job and then realize that you cannot. And it sucks coz slowly you feel that you r losing your own identity and now being referred as Mrs… instead of ure first name. It sucks because life suddenly seems so pointless... and it sucks and sucks and sucks ……

The punishment is multiplied by a 1000 times when a working lady has to leave her job to join her spouse on a dependant visa just to live with her hubby.I guess ladies with H4 visa shall definitely relate to me.

A point had come where in I got bored of with all the sulking and frowning and then for a change thought to make my life interesting & start over ones again.

The key to the end of my mothballed life just lied in my attitude & taking things positively.

My attitude to take this change positively and try to quickly and efficaciously blend in this new life of a home maker (Temporary thou) had become more of a necessity rather an option because I realized that my life shall be full of the above crap as long I look at it as a crap.

To start with I have started probing in the field of cooking— My menu initially consisted of bread , toast, omelette, maggie,coffe& Tea.And now my menu has drastically intensified in the number of items with different sections of starters, soups, main course and desserts to name a few J Well chill!!!!!!!! My food taste better too...

U know what I fear now!!!!!!!!!!! What if an s/w professional like me ends up being a la sanjay kapoor- the chef!

Cut it out!!!

Well !! coming to my freedom of going out and doing things on my own rather than being dependant has curbed, so I have enrolled myself in driving classes .I have never waited for anything in my life with so much devotion as I am waiting for driver's licence coz that means I am free from the Alcatraz prison J

Thirdly coming to keep myself occupied and to add value to myself and not make my brain go rusted and keep my thinking cells active , I have started dwelling into photography. It was a childhood hobby which got extinct (just like the dinosaurors) in my college days and now suddenly has re-surfaced again. Luckily got a Nikon D5000 digi cam so very soon you could find few pics uploaded in here.

Well after all this still if I do have time left then may be I could finish few of my java certifications which would just be an added advantage in my resume.

In a nut shell when I turn back and take a look at my life I shouldn’t regret for not making up for most of my gettable, inestimable free time J

Amen !
