I have heard of people receiving care packages from parents/relatives in India. Anyone with experience sending across things like homemade creams, lotions and hand salves. My sister makes some that really agree with my skin but I'm out and have nobody to bring it over. Considering this care package route if it's viable. Thank you for any input.

Have them ship it or have them deliver it by someone. I’m not quite sure how else you will get something that only your sister makes.

Check the small package mailing prices / tariffs etc. Those recently changed under Trump

Have her send some extra! I’d be interested in trying / purchasing!

EY will gift them to me! 🥰

Join the fb page for desis/indians in your area. You can request someone travelling to bring a small package with them

Join the FB page Bring me that from there (BMTFT) where people carry stuff for a charge.

I would highly recommend not carrying anything (or asking anyone else to) that you haven’t packed yourself.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
