Linux Visa!
August 10th, 2007
I was in Mumbai all day long - to get the B1 Visa for my Atlanta visit. The interview was just 30 seconds long & this is how it went…
Officer: Morning
Maku: Morning
O: What do you do in IBM?
M: I work in the UI team for ISS Project.
O: Since when?
M: 28th June this year
O: Oh & before that?
M: I was with Celunite, Red Hat, etc.
O: So you are a linux guy?
M: You too use Linux? :O
O: Nahh… I’m a non-tech guy, but yes, I do use it 
O: Congratulations, your visa has been issued! [scribbles something on the forms]
M: Thanks (& thanks to Linux too :D)
:D
This small piece of sticker 
meant one full day of hard work - 3AM to 11:30PM… I just hope its worth it
I’ll be flying Saturday night finally
