“I am proud of my daughter, Shivangi!” <\/em>Those words, written in bold on a whiteboard at Microsoft\u2019s global headquarters in the United States, became the highlight of a heartwarming video that recently went viral. Shivangi Reja, a software engineer, shared a short video of her parents visiting her coveted workplace at Microsoft\u2019s headquarters in Seattle Metro Area, where her \u2018American Dream\u2019 career is taking shape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Contrary to the age-old belief in small Indian towns that daughters don\u2019t bring fame to their parents unlike sons, Shivangi\u2019s parents invested in her education and career<\/strong> rather than a big fat destination wedding. Shivangi not only flew her parents out to USA from India but also gave them a ceremonial welcome to her new home near Seattle. Since their arrival in June, the parents have been on a memorable multi-city tour across America, garnering new experiences.<\/p>\n

The best part of their trip to the US is the moment that doubled their happiness during a tour of Shivangi\u2019s workplace at Microsoft headquarters<\/strong>. Their beamed with pride and joy beyond measure that words could hardly explain. The Instagram reel shows Shivangi walking her parents through the expansive Microsoft campus that sprawls across 500 acres and houses more than 125 buildings. She guided them through her workspace, meeting rooms, and the buzzing cafeteria.<\/p>\n

Their Microsoft tour culminated in a touching moment when her parents wrote a message on a meeting room whiteboard, \u201cI am proud of my daughter Shivangi.\u201d<\/strong> A few months ago, another Indian-origin techie hit headlines for booking his parents\u2019 first ever international travel to USA and giving them a tour of his Nvidia office<\/a><\/span> in California. For Indian parents, moments like these are never just simple office tours at trillion-dollar American MNCs. Rather, a walk down memory lane \u2013 the days of their hard work, their sacrifices, their joy over simple things, their investments (of energy, time, and effort).<\/p>\n

In the video caption, Shivangi explained the deeper meaning behind the tour<\/strong>. She wrote, \u201cFrom a small town in India to showing my parents the place I call my workplace @microsoft. This isn\u2019t just my dream come true, it\u2019s theirs too. Every sacrifice, every prayer, every hope they carried has led me here. Today, I didn\u2019t just bring them to my office, I brought them to the dream we built together. And honestly, what more could a daughter ask for than seeing her parents say, \u2018We\u2019re proud of you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Shivangi Reja\u2019s video<\/a><\/span> has garnered around 5 million views and thousands of comments, with many stating that the scene brought tears to their eyes. One of her followers commented, \u201c<\/em>The ultimate dream of every Indian kid working abroad, and the ultimate joy of every Indian parent!\u201d Another wrote, \u201cParents\u2019 happiness is the true measure of our success. The smile on their faces says it all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
