Don't have words to say how I feel ....It was indeed a long journey. When I saw the on-line message that said "This case has been approved", I thought my heart was going to stop functioning ! ..

I will indeed write more about my journey when I have time on my hands. I almost ended my life 5 years ago due to problems with my advisor in grad school ....but somehow didn't ...the option was to live without spending more than $ 30/month during the school. But I lived and today ....after 5 years I feel it was worth it.

There is a poem written by some unknown confederate soldier. I think it summarizes my life. Wish you good luck in this journey full of ups and downs ....but have faith and everything will work out for you ..

My special thanks to Rajiv Khanna, Greaty-k, kia ....and all those who have given my great advice. God bless you all ...

"I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wiser.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for
--but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself,
my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among all men, most richly blessed!"
 
dude be brave

I was shocked to see that you planned to end your life. Never ever give up on your life. I know a lot of people on this board keep thinking that they have a lot of bad luck.. I do too. But this is way too mild when compared to what most people have. Life is way too precious!

I find it amusing that you quote a poem by a confederate lol I live in da dirty south yo!

Be strong in whatever you do. I dont believe in God but if you do believe in it for strength. Always keep going.

Congrats and all the best.
 
Best Wishes

Amol,

Congratulations! That poem sure puts things in perspective.

Have a happy life Friend.

Now go get married to that girl from the neighbourhood. Good luck!

Hello The_Matrix

Congratulations Man!!

Your poems are good at the same time dont be depressed man. Life is very precious, and Greencard or living in usa is a piece of shit.
There are other things that are very important in life. You should never even to think to end your life with small things that happened in life.

In life there re always UP's and Downs. when the things are favour to you, you should be happy and when things are not favour to you, still you should think why it is not happened, do it in a way it will favour to you i'e Learning Lessons.

thanks all

for your greetings ! ..It really means a lot to me..

And yes I will keep visiting this forum often ! ..

Once again good luck folks ...just hang in there and your turn will come ...

Here is a cartoon that will make you laugh ....I found it right after President's speech on Tuesday night.
 
All other approval postings I saw on this forum appeared normal or many times out bursting from the frustration.

But, this one really appealed to heart. And you expressed your REAL happiness.

Your feelings remembers me the caption on our junior college:
"Look low Fly High"

CONGRATULATIONS
:)
