Pursuits of an H4 dependent!

America the land of opportunities!
Well, the definition of "opportunity" might be a relative phenomenon here

H4 visa holders are not allowed to hold an active job in America.
I have brooded over this one thought for about a year after I tied the knots with the love of my life.
(What an waste of the precious moments I should have spend rejoicing!)

They say, there are five stages of grief:
  1. Denial
  2. Anger
  3. Bargaining
  4. Depression
  5. Acceptance
TRUE, But not necessarily the end! I have accepted that "H4 visa holders are not allowed to hold an active job in America" (at least till now). But I could not stop there. So, I went about weighing my alternatives and found out the most obvious ones
An H4 visa holder can study, volunteer, be a passive investor......or write up a blog! - possible opportunities but often overlooked, in pursuit of the "un-doables of the moment"....
I spent considerable amount of time lazing around, browsing through blogs and vlogs, experimenting with life and time and going back to school. I have learned a lot in the journey and as token to keeping up my outlook of continuous improvement, I decided to publish my first blog post today!
