Indian community in Australia should stand up and extend help to Indian students

June 13, 2009

As an Australian of Indian origin I am really saddened by the news about experiences of some Indian students in Australia. I can relate to my student life in Australia and wonder how difficult it would be for those who are suffering. Being alone in a foreign country without any support and constant abuse is tough. But life isn’t all about good things so I guess bad things happen and we have to live with it.

Said that I only wish that these events don’t spread more and things come back to normal. I think its time that Indian community in Australia should stand up and extend help to Indian students so that they don’t feel alienated in a new country.

Furthermore Australia government has set up a task force for the well being of oversees student along with a student hot line-1300 363 079

Due to the recent attacks to Indians students in Australia

June 7, 2009

Due to the recent attacks to Indians students in Australia,I have been bombarded with emails asking me whether it is safe to be in Australia for Indian especially Students.Its quite natural for parents to think whether they should send their kid to Australia for studies after what is happening.

In my opinion I would suggest to look at the bigger picture and not to be judgemental and remember that Australia is a multicultural society.Indian are a part of this society for a long time now and like any other society it has bad people,that doesn’t mean that all are bad people.

Australian are friendly people and very helpful.Incident mentioned in media happen but there is no need to panic and spoil your future.Relax and concentrate on what’s best for you.

Parents can contact me if they need any further clarification

Australian Communities which love to wear Gold prone to break in

May 24, 2009

Australian Communities which love to wear Gold prone to break in
Recently Indian Family in Australia of Indian origin had a beak in(thefts)

I want to share with you all about the difficult times Indian families face in Australia. Its no surprise even the thieves would know that but it doesn’t stop them break in and take away all their gold. Indian families are a target of thieves for a along time and I am so surprised there hasn’t been a single awareness campaign by Indian consulate, Australia Police not even the council to beware the community of the risks.

Recently one of my friends was break in(theft)in broad day light from the front door. Wonder if his family was inside. Luckily they weren’t but financially they have lost every thing they had in the foreign land. With no financial security, counseling, support I still wonders how difficult it would be for them.

I am sure all of you are aware of this happening and not only Indian community but Australian communities as a whole who love to wear gold are prone to such breakin.Then why no one has taken the first step to do some thing. Like a awareness campaign, education how to avoid break-in.

The robber’s these days have gadget which detect any gold which makes their life easier. They have all the technology available to them to breakin.What about people who are still struggling to get settled in this foreign place who can’t afford security, content insurance, the only hope is to make sure they are aware of the risks.

Thumbs up to Obama-now its your turn Kevin

May 5, 2009

Would Kevin Rudd follow the footsteps of Obama in giving no end of year tax
incentives for Australian companies which create job oversees in place like Bangalore

This is a great initiative on part of Obama and i would imagine Kevin should
follow his footsteps which would provide incentives to Australia companies which creates jobs inside the Australia.

This in return would help keep Jobs in Australian and this helping the freelance community in Australia.

whether u should go for student visa or apply PR?

May 1, 2009

Continuation of whether u should go for student visa or apply PR?..this is my opinion …what do u say?

As per the occupation in demand list accountant is still a occupation in demand .Australia Studies for 2 years will give you 5 points.Total points you would need to apply for migration at the moment is 120 ( 30 for age,25 for ielts if band 7 or 15 if band 6,skill jobs =60,Australian studies=5) which makes =115 if ielts band is 7).

You should be able to earn suffice to support yourself during your stay in Australia as student but remember Australian education demands alot of time if you are doing it from a Good University.Furthermore it just a matter of developing a balance between job and work.

Final decision is your whether u should go for student visa or apply PR.Keep the following in mind

1)You need to take into consideration that migration rules change frequently also.

2)You need to take into consideration the costing of student visa as compared to PR.

3)Getting PR would still take the same time its just that you are physically present in AUSTRALIA during that time.

4)Remember whenever you come to Australia life would be tough because its a new country and you would be the first generation here.The only difference is the status on your passport.If you know what i mean

Question you need to ask

1)Do you really want to study?

2)Are you prepared to do odd jobs like washing cars,gas stations,pizza hut,part time call centre because initially you might have to do all this?

OR Are you ready to wait in India until your PR comes so that at least when you come to Australia you can look for full time Job straightway.

3)How financially sound are you?

Please note that I am just sharing my experience with you and is not a professional advise there fore I do recommend you to consult a Agent to confirm as I wont be liable for anything.
