Immigration is a chance to build a new life with some intention
I think that’s the best thing about moving to a new country. For the first time for many people, you are far away from all the expectations and rules and nuances of your past life.

And Shriya Ghate thinks so too.

What am I excited about?
I’ve begun illustrating the coloring book. Mighty excited about this piece of work.
Simi and I are working on the second gamified education piece. Guess the topic and I’ll give you a free copy of the coloring book when I publish.
If you can or find my work useful, you can now buy me a coffee here.
Absolutely great Commandments and I'm going to add a suggestion. if you are not Canadian, for the love of everything holy don't say”eh.”. There's the right way & the wrong way. There's a lot of nuances with it and you're just not going to get it until you've been here a very long time. I've already had to ask my American girlfriend to stop saying it. Lol
