Bharat in Germany: For the Ones Who Want More Hey Reader, I don’t know where you’re at in life right now, but if you’re anything like I was at 24… maybe you’re feeling a little lost. Maybe you finished uni, or maybe you didn’t. You’re working a job that doesn’t excite you. Everyone keeps talking about “figuring it out,” but you’re still waiting for something, anything, to click. The days blur together, and part of you wonders: Is this it? It all started here when I made the decision. I’ve...

Every Friday night I try to read a little. So yesterday night, I read a story on my favourite science fiction forum and it was something so deep that I just couldn't stop thinking about. It's the story about the city of Omelas. A city bathed in light.Peaceful. Happy. Thriving.People smile. The streets hum with life. Music, laughter, celebration. From the outside, it’s paradise.A perfect world. But underneath this beautiful city,in a basement no one talks about,there is a child. The child is...

Hallo! Wie geht es dir? Mir geht es gut. Heute schicke ich dir eine E-Mail auf Deutsch – so wie ich es gesagt habe. 😊 Ich war in Indonesien. Es war sehr schön. Die Strände sind schön. Die Natur ist toll. 🌴🌊 Jetzt bin ich wieder in Europa. Das ist auch gut. Der Winter ist vorbei und es regnet nicht mehr. Ich war gestern zuhause. Ich war mit der Familie. Meine Tochter läuft jetzt mit einer Hand. Ich bin sehr glücklich! Sie hält meine Hand und geht. Das ist so süß. 💖 Sie wird so groß. Die Zeit...

I was not planning to send this email. But I had to. Did you see the news, Reader? Here's the direct screenshot from the news article from the newspaper - Frankfurter Rundschau: Yes. This is true. In recent developments, Germany's leading opposition parties, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), have proposed significant changes to the country's citizenship laws. A Major Shift: From B1 to C1 Language Proficiency A central element...

Forget learning German. No, seriously. You don't care about grammar. You don't care about conjugations. Let's be real—you care about getting into Germany. You care about walking into your dream job, university campus, or finally feeling at home in a new country and living your life. I know this because I have been in your shoes. German isn't your goal - wasn't mine either. But it was my ticket. It's your ticket. All you need is to simply get started today. And tonight, your ticket costs just...

This email - we are going full technical - that's this will be a long email. A truly long email. But it will add a lot of value. And also why I am also sending this later in the day. This is going to be a full deep dive in the German government's requirements for Permanent Residency in Germany - directly from German government's website. For this I am taking Berlin as an example because the state to state regulations do not differ. Why? Because the laws for migration are decided in center and...

Let’s be honest here. If you’ve ever tried learning German — or even just thought about it — chances are you’ve felt at least one of these things: “This language is impossible.” “I’m not good at grammar.” “I don’t have time right now, maybe later.” “Cases?? What even is that?” If yes — you're not alone. Thousands of Indians start learning German every year… and most of them quit. Not because they’re lazy. Not because they’re not smart. But because no one ever told them the 🔴 truth about...

Writing to you right away after what happened. A recent graduate from the University of Stuttgart, living in Ludwigsburg. Him and I were just on a call, Reader. And it was not nice - to say the least. He looked stressed. Really stressed. Why? Because the clock is ticking. Job Seeker Visa: 18 months. Already Passed: 3 months. He's applying for jobs—in English. What happens? Every reply asks the same question: "Do you speak German?" The phone rings. Immediate German conversation. No English....

Hey Reader, Tomorrow is a special day. I remember that during my time growing up - it used to be one of the most special occassions where you could actually go out and have fun with friends. Probably the only time when nobody worries about 'how they look'?. If you lived in an Indian hostel during your B.Tech. - you know that this used to be the case almost 99% of the times. Me and the 'gang' back in our B.Tech. times in 2014. When you are living that - you can't wait for it to be over, but...
