Tanay Can you please be a little sensitive at this time ? Like do you even know how it feels to lose a loved one ? Does it make it less painful to lose someone just because he is from a certain part of the world ? Your dumbness surprises me. How you have totally made something so tragic and personal , so political and unnecessary . I really hope you never face how it is to lose a loved one in a untimely way. Learn to be sensitive and kinder , you definitely don’t have even a bit of idea how broken and devastated his loved ones are.Also , it surprises me you are a fellow Indian .
I hope you are fake. Please don’t generalize things and don’t share these kinds of things during this time.
Why was he in the pool when he obviously didn’t know how to swim?? Maybe something in the blood as the autopsy will probably reveal. What I don’t get is how they manage to stay on despite a lack of resources. US needs to STOP issuing visas to Indian students. This is where the pipeline starts – in “Tealangana” or whatever its called, where all the fake resumes, bogus candidates and visa fraudsters originate from. Same dudes are also accused of pulling off similar scams in Canada, New Zealand, UK and Australia whose authorities are also hot on the heels of these specimens from India Inc. Most of these fake engineers aren’t fit to hold a low skilled let alone hitech job, and need to be summarily deported sans hearings.
I hope you are fake. Please don’t generalize things and don’t share these kinds of things during this time.
Do you think this is the right time to speak out all these unrealistic thoughts of your own…Moreover i am.sure Indian students are capable of outshining anyone in this world thats why they perform anywhere and everywhere in the world.
