At least now people started comparing and thinking of returning back to India.Things are improving in India and more and more NRI's will move back to India.Good for India and good for them.
You are so sorted Nupur!! Thanks for the honest thoughts!
Nice video. Keep it up Nupur. Loved your video. All the best from Kolkata
One thing I find in India is, people have all the time in the world to Judge people and comment. The dote is to ignore and keep doing and living the way you want to, not easy though. Good videos Nupur, keep sharing.
Great video!
Good video with balanced thoughts!
You took a rikshaw for a 2 km journey which you could easily walk to; thereby not requiring a gym wrkout! It's called common sense.
This lady must be munching on cheese 🧀 & coke order from zomato 🤭
A workout is not just cardio!
The clothes and shoes i wear to office can't support street walking :)
Hola senora Julie ill like to say Muchas gracias for u comparison between India and us
Most people in the US live alone and their children go to daycares while they go to work. Daycares typically close by 6pm. Also, help in terms of a maid that comes in everyday to do all household work is non existent. I have a very flexible job and I make sure to leave work by 4 every day. If I do have late meetings l, just call in from home. Leaving early helps me pick up my kids from daycare at a decent time, cook dinner, do any chores and spend some quality time with them. I grew up in India and my mom was a working women. She definitely had a lot more flexibility as we had a maid at home at all times who helped her significantly. This was one very important point you overlooked when you compared work hours.
Thanks
Mai pata nhi kyu dekh rha hu.. meri to india me sarkari naukri hai... USA kabhi jane wala bhi nahi😂😂😂
Something that worries me about moving back to India is some people's judgemental nature. I know that the sense of community is stronger in India but the flip side is that every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to know your business and people pass comments regarding your body, profession, and relationship status, especially if you're a woman. So, in a way, it's easier being a woman in the West in some ways for sure.
Agree with that. easier living abroad. In most startups though you will find people who wont judge. So gotta find the right company
what do you think about lack of whamens rights in west like right to ab0rt ??
I can’t even register this stereotype in my head. Does people don’t judge in west?
@30 seconds Tech right to kill a baby? Most babies aborted are girls, so women killing future women
@@amoebicdysentery5846 not much. divorced and single women are treated with respect.
Thank you for making videos on this topic. They were very informative and exactly what I was looking for. As you know the salaries in India is not much and it's very difficult to buy an apartment or make any other investment if we just depend on Indian salary. If I ask your suggestion, how much savings do you think we should have before moving back to India in Pune?
Totally depends on lifestyle but i feel a few CRs is good
4 Cr in savings and investment. Plus 2 Cr for top quality 4 bhk flat plus 60 lacs for good car.
Hey , what about Canada vs India ?
The Life in U.S. can be compared to Marrying our Aishwarya Rai.Initially anybody would be smitten with her Beauty but after some time inspite of the same best beauty you yearn for a change.Otherwise even if anybody is offered free meals at a five star hotel will run home for a simple Dal chawal after some time.
lol! funniest comparison ever ..thanks for your comment :)
Lucky you moved out of San francisco at right time
Just curious to know.. which company you working in India
Thank you for the video it’s fantastic..Am an NRI with a Caucasian wife marred 17 years and have 3 kids..my oldest is college bound in 2 years and doing good but my other two are young (4 and 8) and am not sure about raising them in the US culture..could use more videos on schooling culture or consulting..
By the way, am an aerospace engineer and a retired US Army Officer.
You should seriously consider neutering your self
When you come back from America you can afford a car and a driver. This will make life lot easier. Even the Indians, who can afford, will have their own cars and drivers.
Driver is not easy to find, afford or maintain In india. It's a fantasy
Bangalore has the worst public-transport services in India. Although they're developing Metro quiet well, they lack wider roads, adequate busses and flow-though traffic, even after having so many one-way roads. Delhi has the best of-course, but that's debatable. I say this after visiting all IPL team cities in India (except Lucknow and Kochi ). Also visited nearly two dozen countries in Asia, Europe, Oceania, and also visited UAE and US (LA, LV and HNL cities). As far as I've witnessed outside India, best public transport is in Shenzhen. Among developed countries, the worst public transport is in Los Angeles.
Not sure why you don’t live in a good apartment complex in India. I am living in one in Bangalore and I am getting lot of greenery, nice view, gym, sports etc.
Also mumbai it is best
At the time of the video, i was in a temp housing. Now im in a better place
may be u dnt hv a mother in law back in india who think that daughter in law is like a maid . This must the biggest reason holding many many women back in USA .
How about the 10 odd chai breaks that have in India at work
haha true that :)
In short, USA is an amazing country with tons to offer while India is where our hearts lie.
Mataji i contacted you for ur opinlon on life abroad...ans you sent me a 100 dollar session suggestion.
could u share nri dr
Pollution is a big problem here.
True, air pollution, noise pollution, everywhere dust, india is not good for human living
Question: if you conserved more energy in India, how come you packed lesser per day than US ? More energy should result in more things done in a day, no?
In Theory yes. But commute and infrastructure prevents you from doing many things/going places. It just makes you less stressed which is really nice
When people say my philosophy was different. It means they hated that. 😛
With over 4,000 people a day leaving India....is this an issue?
88000 paida bhi ho rahe hain, bura haal hai musalmaan bas bacche paida karke chod deta hai
What ageing NRIs think about their life there? Are they happy about their decision in the youth to move there leaving india?
We are going to retire in India as we always feel something is missing in a foreign land and it depends from person to person.
For us we feel one life so we wanted to live our golden years from the land we belong 😊
I love USA as I live in the free state of FL, work from home, married to a Chinese American for over 30 years. India is no longer what I grew up in. I go to the beach for a walk almost everyday. I am from IIT KGP
@@MineshBaxiYT You are not Indian. Foreigner. Please stay in USA forever.
@@gulmohar6709 Why he is not an Indian ? He moved from India to US and someone wanted a view from an aging nri and when he responded it bothered you because the answer was not as per your expectations???
Obviously I don’t regret going to USA & making & saving in dollars. But had to sacrifice lots of things back in India. I am from middle class family in India but when I convert dollars into rupees I am rich
India is no. 1 no comparison please 🥺
Do you have a green card?
definitely no man...otherwise why would she came back?
Why did you come back? Why did you go to usa at first level
This is Bullshit Video.
I've been born and bred in the UK. Still I love India and it's far better than the west -
1. Morning Walks - She mentions it's easier to go for a morning walk OR GO OUTSIDE? like really? you can't go outside in India?
She mentions there is no outdoor activities in India? There are no activities in the West (UK, USA, Canada), unless you join a walkers/runners group, this is similar to India, you can find all kinds of groups.
You can efficiently run or Jog in India, go to any park or walk on the road like many people. In the west, you won't find many people runing or jogging, only a small handful of people and it looks weird, why because people will stare at the one or two people running, where as in India the population just doesn't make it look weird, you're hidden.
2. Clean Air & Greener - She mentions the clean air in US, that I can't disagree on, it's true but India also has plently of greenery. I've seen more greenery in India than in the UK.
3. Gyms - Another BS! she mentions in the US she just drove to the Gyms but at the same time she mentions in India you have to be lucky else you have to drive to them? so what was the difference? She mention she tried several things like Boot Camps, Home Trainers, Ladies etc but this also applies to the West. I've tried almost 5 different gyms to find one that I like, all the instructors are different but my current one, I love the instructor, this also applies in India. Everyone's taste and preference is different, yet in India I've seen more gyms opening up, just where I lived, there was 4 gyms (walking distance)
4. UBER - While this is true, this also applies to the West, Cab companies are going to be so busy during peak hours it's simple logic. In India you can have a Bhaiya which is good, in the US you can't have that. Also, I've never drove in India, I've been driving for the past 18 years in the UK, I just rented a car in India and I loved it. So if you can drive in the West then you can drive in India, you just need to be a bit confident.
5. BUS - She mentions not being able to talk on the BUS, who said this? The problem with Indians is they don't mix well and most Westerners do not like to talk to us, we are never upfront, we are shy and timid therefore nobody will talk to us. Whereas the Whites, Blacks and Muslims are always upfront so you will see them chatting.
6. Breakfast - I just give up on her, I have no idea why I'm even wasting my time and to think I wasted like 10 minutes listening to this drab. Honestly, India is getting better and better; the infrastructure, the people, being able to walk at 1am and eat food, the safety, the weather vs the west, it's just so good. I've spent 4 months this year alone and moving home. Yes, there will be sacrifices but this is part of life no matter where you are.
I'm not even going to correct my English here, you deserve this.
