Area 51
It's just immigration, it's not rocket science, or is it? If you're a visa / “temporary” status holder in the US and have often found that it was easier navigating through the politics of Game of Thrones than understand the US immigration system, you're not alone. In this podcast, we aim to talk about the problems we face as immigrants here. The way we see it, we're all in for a long 20+ year long (some even up to 436 years!) rollercoaster ride waiting for our Green Cards, dealing with the dizzying highs of getting approved visas to the stomach-dropping lows of dealing with government bureaucracy and 221g’s. Add in a few more flavors such as Trump, COVID-19, layoffs and recessions to this quagmire of a maze, and we may as well be living the Hunger Games in pursuit of permanent residency in the US. We realized early on that whining about this situation can only get us so far. The more we educate ourselves and others about the system, the better armed we are to beat the system. And if we can all have a few laughs along the way, we might just be able to make process a little more fun.

As an Indian immigrant in America, one thing we all miss is the food back home. We've felt it and we're sure all of you have as well. Have we done anything about it? Probably not!
In today's episode, we are joined by the founders of the Brooklyn Curry Project, Swetha and Venkat , two immigrants from Bangalore, India, whose shared love for traditional Indian cuisine sparked a business that has taken the New York food scene by storm. In this episode, we dive into their story, exploring how a lemonade stand transitioned to a South Indian food stall , turning their passion for food into a successful venture. From supporting Indian farmers to building a strong community of dosa lovers, Brooklyn Curry Project has done it all.
Tune in to hear about the Brooklyn Curry Project's rise to fame, their awesome community and what the future holds for this dynamic couple. It's an episode filled with heart, flavor, and inspiration you won't want to miss!
