In today’s time, after seeing the dazzling lives of people living abroad on social media, many youth dream of somehow going and settling in America, Australia, France or other developed countries. Seeing big salaries, luxurious lifestyle and pictures of foreign countries, it often seems that life will change completely once you reach there. But Tanishk Lohan, an Indian youth living in Paris, says that the other aspect of the picture is equally important, which people often ignore.
Tanishq has shared a video on his Instagram account @lohan.enroute. In this video, he has given an important advice to those people who decide to go abroad only after being influenced by the success stories seen on social media. He says that a better future can definitely be created abroad, but just dreaming is not enough for that. There is a price to be paid to reach there and establish yourself.
What did you say that touched people’s hearts?
In the video, Tanishk tells that people often hear that they should leave India and go abroad. In the beginning, you can earn two to three thousand euros every month even by doing a part-time job and later on, life becomes easier once you get a full-time job. But he says that this story alone is not the whole truth. Before taking any big decision, it is important to understand the real challenges behind it.
He told that the cost of studying or settling abroad can be very high. Many students have to take an education loan of Rs 50 to 60 lakh or even more. Some families spend their savings, while many even sell their property so that their children can be sent abroad. This means that the decision to go abroad is not as easy as just buying a ticket, but there is a huge financial responsibility behind it.
It is not just a matter of money, one has to face emotional challenges also. It is not easy to live in a new country leaving your family, friends and the environment you have built for years. One has to learn the language there, understand the new culture and in the beginning one has to struggle a lot for even small and big jobs. Many times loneliness and mental pressure also trouble people, but these aspects are rarely discussed.
Tanishq believes that making a good life abroad is absolutely possible, but it requires patience, hard work and constant belief in yourself. He said that there is not only roaming and fun there. Behind the beautiful pictures seen on social media, there is hidden hard work and struggle done over a long period of time. First you have to prove yourself, only then you get better opportunities.
At the end of the video, he appealed to the people that the decision to go abroad should not be taken after seeing someone else’s story, but keeping in mind their circumstances, financial condition and mental preparation. If steps are taken with proper planning, hard work and patience, a good future can be made abroad, but it would not be right to rush just by dreaming of high salary and luxury life. This honest advice of Tanishk was greatly appreciated on social media and many people called it a very important message for the youth thinking of going abroad.
