But I CANNOT for the life of me understand why there is a rush to start competitive sports!

Let's start with NFL: The Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans have had players test positive. The star Running Back Ezekiel Elliot is one of them!

My beloved Philadelphia Phillies had to abandon camp after 8 members of the team, players and staff combined, tested positive. That also resulted in the Toronto Blue Jays having to shut down their camp:

The Australian Football League has postponed a game between Essendon and Melbourne because a player who recently returned from Ireland has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Australian rules AFL competition was into the second weekend of matches after restarting
I really hope better sense prevails and there is not a rush to restarting sporting events. The after effects could be disastrous!

If you come across a sporting event being affected by a COVID positive case, tag me in the tweet or share the link in the comments, I will add it.

Two interesting facts that are not commonly known about H1B visas and GC.

1) You don't HAVE to work for your GC sponsor while it is being processed. You HAVE to work for the sponsor once you get the GC to avoid issues with your citizenship.

The person who has sponsored mine
is someone I never practiced with.

2) You can have multiple part time H1B visas. To gain better experience, I always was in 2 group practices which meant 2 part time visas. When I came for stamping, the lady said "Sorry Sir you need at least one full time visa." Expecting this,
I had printed out the USCIS page which spelt out that multiple part time visas were allowed. She asked to keep the print out to help educate themselves about this better.

This is something that has been on my mind for a long time. A humble attempt at explaining why the average Pune 4 teenager has no clue who Pu La is, forget reading and listening to his work.

I know someone in the US who worked from home for almost 12 years. He was in the sales team and travelled a lot initially. As he rose, his travel went down. His firm did not have a dedicated office space for him and so they let him work from home.

#workfromhome #people #lunch
Slowly he was working 18 days from home and travelled utmost 2 days a week. He is one of the happiest and gregarious individuals I know. As such I thought he would find it tough to not have the social aspect of going to work/travel. I asked him how he handled that.
For starters, he said I sat down and listed the pros and cons of WFH versus going to the office. If I asked for one, I could have had an office space but that would be an irreversible path. Then I could never WFH as much as I could right now.

He made a few key decisions:
