Like wise sir 🙏

Me:
I see that you have a lot of background in the field of Psychology and Social Service. It is an important field everywhere, these days, Mental Health etc So there must be ways for you to get a job abroad, but I do not have any connections as such to recommend you to someone. Keep applying, I think you will find something. And, do not ignore the poor countries also, like in Africa. Sometimes they have institutions where they want to hire someone, and it could be you landing a good job there, or an experience there, which may be a stepping stone for something even better later, or even can come back to India with that added experience.

Me:
Dr Srikanth Pallerla,
While thinking about it again now, although I am not in your field, I felt that your resume comes across as a very long one, and hard to read, in the old way, that is without computer or digital help, so if you can prepare another shorter version, focusing on your skills and what they can be used for, so people in your field can visualize better how your services can be helpful in their organization, it would make a strong impression. The detailed parts, like publications list, you can send later when they express more interest. Best Wishes. Thank You.,

in the old photo here we see, my uncle (father's younger brother) appachchi Mahalinga Bhat H (on the left), sitting with us, that is me and my sons (younger) Shilpi and (elder) Kaviraj, at his Karinja Halemane house in Ednad village, India, in 1989 perhaps (?), photo taken when we visited. My wife Usha had stayed back in USA that time, in 1989 Nov - Dec time preparing for her qualifying exam at Rutgers University for her graduate degree, and I had to go to India to attend the IEEE TENCON conference in Mumbai where I gave a 3-hour lecture workshop on Optical Fiber Communications, so I took the two young boys with me, so that our families there get an opportunity to see them and vice versa.
