Your use of the word "unleashed" shows your deep hatred for him. Will you say the governor of Missouri unleashed the shooting incident and subsequent riots? Should we sentence him for life?.it was exactly the same situation back then. I agree that modi did not do a good job in controlling the mob as the head of the state but those riots were an immediate reaction to the actions of one religious group that put arsenal in a railway coach and burnt 200 people alive. 3 separate investigative committees headed by supreme court of India couldn't find any evidence that modi instigated these riots.

Re:How can an introvert Asian engineer like me make friends?
on Monday June 16, 2014 @11:54AM (#7899680)
I was in the same situation 4 years back. Being an immigrant it takes some effort on our side to assimilate in the society and for introverts like me (us) it takes a lot more.
First thing I noticed is that I had a very low self-confidence. I've been an introvert all my life with only few friends.
Firstly, what changed my life is getting a fitness club membership. It wasn't easy in the beginning seeing all those big guys.
So I used to exercise late nights after 11p.m only because i was too self-conscious. My first friend in the city was a cop, he used to exercise off hours.He taught me lifting weights and that changed everything. He was like a coach.He wasn't like a friend i can hang out but that was fine.
I felt better and better about myself as I got stronger.
Secondly, I was a regular at start-up weekends and other business events .I made friends with couple of developers and business people. I was looking to make friends with them but they were only "networking". Later, one of them asked me if I wanted to be his roommate so we can work on cool ideas together. Slowly, I became friends with his friends.
Also, I used to hang out at a 24/7 coffee shop and met other developers and designers.
Thirdly, I volunteered at a local animal shelter. I made friends while we walk the dogs and clean the cats :-) .I met my ex-gf there.
Also I read lots of books on the art of small talk and how to master conversation skills. Recorded my voice and practiced my accent until it got better.

Good luck!!

Re:2013 H1B Visa Supply Nearly Exhausted
on Tuesday June 12, 2012 @10:27AM (#4100563)
Lots of People don't know that applying for H1B Visa is not getting the work permit/Visa to enter the country. Tech Companies like Microsoft file the Petitions even if they don't really utilize/invite people in the current year. This is just to keep a pool of extra workers on stand-by. Out of the 65k ,how many will get approved by the USCIS and how many really qualify in the Visa interview ?. How many enter the US in the current year? Remember your visa is valid for 6 years so they can utilize it in the future.
