get your friend’s friend’s brother’s sister-in-law to put in a good word with her cousin who knows somebody that works in the embassy. (never mind he’s doing his summer internship)
wear your favourite wonderbra and furiously bat your eyelashes (note: it never seems to cut any ice with the women, but the men fall it every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME.)
produce imaginary boyfriends/lovers/fiancées/husbands. as many of them as you can. most visa officials believe that their countrypeople are the most irresistible race on earth, and if you are going to go visit, rest assured that you are going to be enamored by them and absolutely crave to have their babies. any evidence to the contrary, will (strangely) earn you a certain no of brownie points. and in case you’ve forgotten, that’s what we are aiming at.
claim that your parents hit you. considering that most indian children live with their parents till they have grandchildren themselves, that should be entirely believable, whatever your age.
pretend to be yogi. the whole place is littered with them anyway. (hint: all you need are loose flowing robes and a stoned expression) thing is, even the slightest unspoken threat of being damned to the fires of hell, is not a chance any of the visa officials are willing to take. c’mon, no job pays that much.
spend the 148 days (yes, that’s how long it takes to get a visa appointment) brushing up on all the things that you dislike about the country. because chances are, the less you want to go, the more likely you are to.
if all of the above fail, walk down to your neighbourhood McDonalds and order the all american aloo tikki burger. to go.

What are you on woman!!!!!
Check your facts. And to do that go for a visa interview!!!!
I have a friend, a guy who comments on my blog a lot as lonnie bruner -- (lonniebruner,blogspot.com) who actually works arranging visitor visas for overseas exchange programs.
He says that when determining whether or not to grant a visitor's visa, the first thing they do is presume that a person has the intent of immigrating to the US until proven otherwise. So prove that you want to leave and you have something to return to. Saying your boyfriend is here won't do it.
My friend and I were recently talking about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
