moved to 3rd world country with parents from rural India back in 2012 later last year came to Australia on student visa and haven't been to India for last 12 years and now trapped for 2 more years as i have to complete my degree before i can go to India, NRI is a big trap if you don't have family wealth people in India have higher standards than some struggling Nris
I think this is the first channel I came across. You are telling the reality that at least an NRI won't reveal because he doesn't want to feel down . But we as Indian really want this perspective for future decisions. Thanks 👍🏻
Me to delhi me aake hi mechanical feel karti hu, foreign country me is mechanical life ke saath saath social cut off bhi ho jaata hai to insaan paglaa jaata hoga
Thanks, Hemant Sir, I strongly agree with your opinion. As I was a student in Paris for fine art for one year(2022-23), during school time I didn't find the problem but suddenly after completing the course within a week I couldn't sleep properly. I thought it was because of missing my son being a mother. I came to Paris with a plan for settlement with my family. After continuously getting a wake up in the middle of the night, realized something is a big problem going with me. I lost weight too and I lost enjoyment in the city of light. I didn't enjoy the pleasant weather and beautiful historical building in Paris. Merely one thing getting in my mind is the memories of my birthplace, my schooling, and my relatives (previously I don't like them too much but after meeting people from internationally I find Indian people are more kind, loving, and caring, and more cultured), my family and friends. Then, I thought How will my son adjust to these different environments, where he took birth in Noida, where at age of 7 he has 20 friends in society and many activities (basketball, swimming, skating, etc under one roof). And, In Paris, it's really difficult to get such a good society with these activities. And as part of the Income and expense ratio, it's nothing compared to India, where is a cheap living cost with good earnings and luxurious life. I finished my course on 16 December 2022 and today is 5 Feb 2023, I booked a flight ticket to back India for 6 February 2023. For a job in Paris, it's no big deal, I got three company responses in one month of searching (January 2023). After critical thinking and rationally I concluded that India is full of happiness and an easy country, which might be the reason because of our birth and being brought up. I am so happy that I am going back to my family and friends ❤️.
I also came back after living abroad for 4 years. Trust me you won't regret being here... the chaos itself keeps you busy, engaged and there is no place for depression.
Hi sir, I recently came across your channel. Your advice is so helpful and rare to find. I’m living in the gulf for the last 7 years and I still don’t feel part of it. There are so many Indians here but unfortunately they are all divided based on state and language. Even the social clubs here are according to state. It is very sad to see people outside india being divided based on language. I have accepted the reality now but at times it hurts a lot…..
in my opinion people who are rich in india often don't move to us, rather its us , middle class folks who move there and it definately improves kids life but not yours per se
It's not opinion it's truth have u seen any high profile celebrity star politician moving abroad businessmen. No. They know true happiness lies with living our own species of humans
The bottom line is if you are searching for happiness it will come from inside not outside. If you are an unhappy soul you will find something in home or foreign country to keep you unhappy. Just accept the fact that there will be pros and cons to both sides. Do the risk assessment and then take your decision. Have the courage or build the courage to back your decision whatever you decide. If you cannot do that then it is a problem.
It has been 3 years in Canada. The WINTER season is going on here. Every day I get up with severe depression. A monotonous lifestyle is kind of killing me. I am less motivated to do something, i felt like my energy is draining as days pass on. Living without family, and friends, and not attending festivals is equals to self-destruction..I felt like as a human I am losing my value for some extra dollars. Yes i have to go back to my roots where life exists
@@MantoshKumar-uv1sh It's not fun at all but there many things to consider. If you work hard and open up a flourishing business then everything will be no stress zone. But for that one needs discipline. I wake up at 3:30AM everyday, brush teeth, shower, pray, in a day do 10 miles walk, clean my own house, pay all my bills, I have no debt anymore I have professional good paying job and I also have a business and starting another business. Now I travel whenever i want where I want without any worries. Time is your greatest asset.
Fellow Canadian here. I think Hemant Bhai's point ke initially you are very enthusiastic and energetic to face new weather. Winter and snow. And then consistent deprivation of vitamin D deteriorates energy levels. This is what is happening with us too. Planning to make a move back in 2024/25. All the best to you as well 🙌
You are spot on. You have addressed the issue of NRI life perfectly. Totally agree with your view and solution. Thank you making and sharing this video.
very nice video. According to me, India transformed itself every decade. 1990 - 2000 : LPG reforms. color TV, limca, DDLJ, 24x7 news, VCR etc. 2000 - 2010 : house prices increase 5x. Concept of gated societies started in metros. Club house, pool, gym, etc. 20 hours electricity everyday. multiplexes, visible improvement in roads. 2010 - 2020 : expansion of gated townships in tier 2 and tier 3 cities (including my grandfather's village of vidisha - the most backward district of MP). Row houses with modular kitchen, concrete roads (inside township), common amenties. 2020 - 2030 : lots of airports, expressways, EVs, solar on every home. Most middle class will shift to gated communities. 40 story towers in metros and small row houses and apartments in cities like bhopal, jaipur, etc. VIsible improvement in quality of life for each decade. The aspirations for those who went in 1990 would be very different for a upper middle class boy today who has everything - AC in room / car / eating out with friends / etc. back then 24x7 electricity and good roads was a big selling point to go to west. Now apart from money, why should anyone move to west if they get same salary ?
I am dealing with the same depression...it's been 4yrs since I moved to UK and the loneliness is killing me. My body is here but my soul and heart is in India...I miss my country, my family and friends.
These all are managable if you really want it ..... First convince yourself...be 100% sure.....things will fall in line.....i will make next video on it as how I did it
Bhai aapke saare points ekdum correct hai. I liked the social integration point. I am in US from past 15 years and yahan par ye insecurity rehti hai ki aap kisi ko offend na kar do kuch bol kar. Kyonki hangout same group ke saath karna hai aur koi option bhi nahi hai. I miss jab mai india me apne friends ke saath kuch bhi majak kar leta tha aur woh bura maane to char gaali deke manaa bhi leta tha. 😀
I am an nri past 15 years.i work in a good company. It's TRUEtthat we miss our relatives. But finance is necessary in life.after these many years abroad I am comfortable at present.i can go back to india in 2 years time..I can meet my relatives after all these years.
Great video.. I m visiting & staying in US for 20+ yrs.. All points are valid, solutions make sense.. keeping ties in India alive is very crucial..persuing 1-2 hobbies is a must to stay energetic in life
Very eye opening video. I am out of India since 1991, really enjoyed my life, settled in UK, children grown up and started their careers. Now, we are really fed up with weather in UK. Suddenly my wife and I started missing India, friends, family, relatives etc. We have now decided that we will attend each and every function in India. We visited India 3 times in last 11 months and enjoying each and every magical moment. Love you India. ❤️💕❤️
How many times will you travel after a certain age.I have been doing this since last 45 years mumbai to uk..lekin aise lagta hai hum na idhar ke hai na udhar ke..its getting very very depressing here, The weather is such u dont feel like going even out for a walk either.There are no 24x 7 helpers here which after a certain age we really cannot do it ourselves..India is much better due to weather and social life..brings happiness with your body n heart.
Hats off to you sir! jo baat family gathering me logo ko me samja nahi paaya woh aap bahut easily aise video se samja dete ho.... 👍👌 Sach baat pata hone par bhi darr lagta he logo ke mindset badlna easy nahi he
Totally relate with the chaos things. Bahar life bahut hi robotic si feel hoti jaha aap 6 months baad b predict kr sakte ki aap ka din kaise beetne wala hai..lol
What is great points covered in your fantastic video. You are doing great work Dubey ji. Your point can only be understood by people who is needing to have social and homeland connection. There are millions of people who wants to listen you. Please keep doing this good work
Here I seen people living in USA and no green card last 25 years and can’t go any function or any thing here If I don’t get my green card I was going back to India now my son and daughter 28 year and 22 years old If I go back to India my daughter going in depression so now I am going every year only Now covid 19 now going to India after 3 years When I came here I found it I made a big mistake but my planning was to open big business in India But parents said get married Indian girls but when they going to school learn western culture
Very true for single professionals .. I have the same for 3 years or so .. i am 34 (unmarried and not in relationship currently) .. lived in usa for 11 years now .. everything you said is true
But living in Dubai is equally good as living in India. Too much happening here too ..lots of indians (expats) ....but yes weather part is still there , 3 months in year is very hot rest uae is awesome. And its very near to India... it takes only 3 hrs by plane to reach in India..... I generally go 3 to 4 times in a year to India. Education is also very good.....( from cbse to american every curriculum available) world class facilities, world class medical facilities, world class brands and many things r available. Guru ( hindu monk) also visit dubai because lots of devotees live here , they keep inviting them so we can take their darshan. Gurudwara, mandir , church everything is available..... Living in uae never lead u in depression.
Travel to India 3 times a year , most of the companies allows months of work from home 🏡.. kids in Europe have lot of holiday , atleast in France.. 6 weeks of school 2 weeks of holiday .. you can earn all your life so try to travel often to India.. sponsor your family , brothers and sisters to travel often during their vacation.. keep a deadline what's your financial goal .. India is the best country to live in mid 40's to old age .. work life balance is good outside India..
Very true sir ….very very true and satic observation and suggestion…..aur ek baat agar aap add karo to USA me Indian festival uske asli muke pe nahi lekin apne convenience se manatey hai jaise ki agar aaj Diwali hai or working day hai to phir Saturday sunday weekend ka intezaar karo usko celebrations ke liye ,,,Navratri hai to weekend mei hi celebration karo tab tak to mahol khatam ya to ek fake mahol ek jhoothi taslli ke liye festival manaoo sirf India ka festival hai iss liye ..!!…jaise ke maa Ambe maa ko bolo weeekend tak wait karo
People from small towns in India have these issues. Their lives are focused on social ties. America is suitable only for ambitious people who don't have time for social life. It is land fit for achivers who like to travel alone.
The example which you have given at 6.20 perfectly fit for me, i am living in France since 16 years and since 13 years i am staying at same house, when i wake up and go to work for which i take public transport trains i don't see much difference and this one i am asking for me since few years and to day i encountered your video.
Hi Hemanth , Currently I am working in UK from last 4.5 years and have a 9 Years child he is studying in year 5 and bought a house on Dec 2022. Now me and my wife feeling that we are not happy to stay here feeling alone here , so we are not happy to continue my son studies in UK and want to go back to India. So can you please suggest is this correct time to leave UK now and can be able to settle in India ?
Sorry mate, I just want to add another key perspective: the advantages of India, which you have added, are when person move to home city, if the person moves to any other big metro city which is far from the home city, all the same things are applicable. There is no difference if a person lives in Mumbai or Paris, if that person family is not from my Mumbai. In India, there are too many people who don't have friends. Social media has impacted the rules of life. Depression is increasing at a very fact pace. There are more than 30% people in India as well are depressed. India also has massive competition and job issues.
Ye sahi baat hai sirf family ke karan nahi Par india me ek mahol hota hai jisme ham bade hue hain, ham chahe kisi se jyada baat nahi kare par hame pata hai ye sab log hindi bolte hain mujhe samajhte hain. Kuch bhi manchaha khana kha sakte hain yahan india me. Maid, driver, grocery delivery, sabji mandi kuch bhi karte raho.
I am here in USA for last 4 months .Have 2 kids but i feel like this was not good decision to come here at this stage of life where kids need good education and I found in public schools education levels are not like Indian schools..I am very worried about the education point of view ! And my husband is here with me on H1B ..We daily discuss to move back to India to avoid big losses about kids ..When we were in India we thought about good life in USA and we came here but now with in 4 months we understood we made a mistake but I think it’s not too late for us to move back …I just want to know if this is very early to make decision to go back to India? Or we need to give some more time ? II appreciate suggestions!!
Hi Hemant ,we are planning to relocate to India after 13 years of staying in London, could you please make video of like best of sending stuff to India and other things for easy and smooth move
Oh, please don't. I'd rather you move to the US than India. You will be heartbroken to know the system is broken, waiting for everything, and your values are not accepting. I would reconsider.
What you said about US might be true but perspective about India have changed a lot except the warm weather. Most of the people are having smaller social circles and this is applicable in tier1 and tier 2 cities. This is my personal observation. People in Tier - 1 city live like US. They hardly attend any family functions and visit their hometowns. Nuclear families taking over and bond between cousins and extended families diminishing. Yes construction works keeps happening throughout the country but I am not sure how far you are excited to watch the construction sites in scorching heat. Gone are those days people were having grounds to play cricket, those all fields are encroached and tall buildings can be seen. To those who are thinking, must take opinions to their friends who left western countries and settled in India.
Which part of Delhi,I am also from Delhi born in Delhi and age 28 went to USA and was planning to go back but parents told me to stay in USA and I got married with Indian girls she born in India and migrated to Uk age 6 and western culture she came from Uk to USA 1985 and became citizens and I got married and now more then 30 years green card I am planning to back to India I used to be a senior engineer in Bmw analysis and use to work 12 hr a day next day same My wife I thought she is Indian but western culture and use to right name off the food and bread Cheating day one ,doesn’t want to add my name in insurance or bank account
Please cover those stories who failed to cope up in India after they come back from the foreign country and lost few crores here also by bad investments and planning to go back to foreign country
Hello sir can u pls make videos about big kids like if u brought kids in 11 th or 12 th grade then still are they able to make good carriers n future in India because more of NRI are stuck they thought in USA higher study and job are muche easier then india and all adults stop each other and force everybody and say you are going to ruin and spoil kids future taking them to India that’s why most of them always gets scared for kids pls make this also clear..thank you
You are right but I have seen so many people from india and neighbouring countries who have come here in London and stayed here whole life leaving their kids in india. I mean they planned it like this ….one lady from Gujarat I knew had left her 1 year old child in india with her mom and she and her husband came to UK and now it’s 15 years the kid has only seen them on phone calls…. It was knowingly they planned it…. So I think people who care they do it in any case and lot of people don’t give a damn about their parents or relatives…. Or even kids….
The problem is the feeling of generation gap, alienation, boredom with routine life, and non Indianness. The married immigrants are hooked once the children start to go to public school. It is the children's education, the insurance companies, taxes, mortgages, and jobs that all demand sacrifice. This is how you are hoped to system with the false assumption of security and material culture. It is too late once you get old. Also, women tend to like Western freedom more than their husband. It is difficult for many to take decisive steps earlier in career and return to the home country In totality happiness is relative and if you are seeking comfort in materialism, it is short lived and not wholesome. .
Another great video! Yes, there’s a glow on the face and a sort of nasha after returning from back home. At a small level this problem also exists for people when they move from a small city to a big city in India for work. I think there is one more point, recognization! Even a small accomplishment at work or in family can get you recognition in your family and friends. Sky is the limit to contribute towards your society. When you are abroad, those things don’t matter to other. If you’re driving a BMW so what? Even janitors drive a BMW in some cases. I am not saying it from a materialistic standpoint. There are people back home who can relish your accomplishment but not abroad. That’s the reason why NRI still talk so much about what they bought abroad.
I came to canada here as a student and now i have decided that I’ll go back after finishing studies. Nahi chahiye PR, mujhe aap jo keh rahe ho same feel ho raha hai sir
Sir i just have one question. Whenever i say to someone that , I’ll go back india , they are like koi nahi jaata , sab starting me aisa hi bolte hai. Then my moral gets down. What should i do in such situations?
@patelsahaj4798 watch my all videos and you will get answers... there is very large numbers of NRI who are coming back including me......the mistake you are doing as looking for world approval for personal decisions
Nobody asked you to leave your country or comeback. if you are not happy then it is just a consequence. If your mindset is not right then you wont be happy anywhere. Your happiness is exogenous but if you are driven and motivated then you will indeed find a way. As per my experience if you go abroad in your teenage then it will be easier to adapt. Do your own research i moved to florida from Pittsburgh because i followed my comfort than money.
Hello sir , need some advice !!! If anyone who is not sure that how life will unfold after moving to abroad , and bcoz of this if he/she is dropping the plan to move to foreign countries, what are all the other options for settling here in India itself, as employment rate is very low in India especially for those who have completed their studies from average colleges in India. In such situation should one go to abroad or should settle in India itself ?
Moral of the story if money is the only reason thn just find ways to earn money in India only, what's the point of earning crore by sacrificing priceless relationship, culture, food and settled comfortable life? Just not worth it, even if one just don't go for settling there have clear goal after such point will cm back to own root.
sir, thanks yeh videos banane ke liye. mera ek sawaal hai. mera ek dost hai jo US mein 10 saal rehne ke baad india return ho gaya aur abhi kaam dhaam sab chodke baitha hai, bolta hai kaafi kamaya hai aur ussi se zindagi chal jayegi. kya yeh possible hai? woh single hai . aur ek baat, woh doosre religions ki bohot burai karta hai. usko uske caste ko lekar bohot garv/pride dikhata hai. yeh banda pehle aisa nahi tha.. woh south indian hai, par metro city mein pala bada hai. kya yeh sahi hai ya galat? woh aisa kyu bann gaya?
In india is the same after you turn 25-28 or so it is hard to make best friends who will be there for you everytime if you left your country for money and fame then better to be prepared than crying like babies abroad.
Thanks for your thoughts. My kids are 9 and 4 and I'm settled in US for past 10 years. I'm 42 now, I do think going back but the only dilemma i have are 1. If i plan to go back in next 2 years my elder kid will be in 6th grade. At this level, Indian education is going to be way tougher for her to cope because in US schools kids progress slowly from KG to 5th grade, has anyone faced the same situation and have some realistic suggestions? 2. Since kids are US Citizens, chances are that for Higher education they may come back to US. Doesn't that mean it will be back to square one?
Hi Pushkar, You are at the no returning point. Just carry on. Make life's journey in the US. Your daughter will get bullied in schools and also will lose her identity. I would not downgrade the US school system, having both kids in gifted and talented, kids in India doesn't even have the tools and supplies we have it here. Best.
Yes that's an option if kid is already in different city and living separately....... If you are planning Retirement in India then it's best to come and get settled
Thanks for sharing your point of view. The India I grew up in doesn't exist. I left India 35 years ago. USA is closer to my values. Most Indians are living in the rat race just like most in USA. Too many relatives expect NRI to help them and bail them out.
@sanjitananda sanjitananda is not true at all. Maybe a one-off case. Most have multiple properties and have secondary sources of income. The only thing we don't have is Indian derived food is everywhere, and life is much more spectacular here than India. Do travel, will open up your experience and knowledge
@@jaithak7267 Am a physician, seen more than 100k US patients and heard their life stories, may be someone needs to be more aware of the US society! US middle class does not have multiple properties, better to live outside a bubble..
@@jaithak7267 seen people who were migrated some 18-20 yrs back. Now children are living separately as that is culture there. Parents are living alone. Even children has not visited during COVID.
@@sanjitanandasanjitananda8955 who said you don't get old age home in India? What you said same either in usa or India or anywhere in the world now a days
Marriages are what comes to mind when i think of moving to India. Too much pomp and show and chaos. Also, because of wedding processions, sometimes my husband and i used to reach home at 10 pm (stuck in traffic etc) This scares me. If i write 10 reasons to go back to India, my only reason will be parents, whom i also support financially, so will be difficult to extend a financial support to that extent. :(
Bhai JIN ko Joseph Robinette Biden Jr ne bulaya hai usa me wo theek hai, but all other people studied hard and wasted their money on education time and other resources And came to usa why did not they stayed back home in india. I think we all are greedy and selfish.
@@jaithak7267 Not really. Who says its struggle? Its your motherland, you should never leave. Then why do Indians whine after leaving India? They miss everything about India, food, festivals, celebrations etc.
Hi, I will say till you are 40-42 US/Canada is very good, you need to look out for health post 40 because without good health and job..USA is worst country..on kids I see major mistake desi parents make is to disconnect their kids from indian culture and mother language.. they get so involved within social media, gathering that they ignore kids and surrender them to laptop,games,mobile etc. , parents getting old and they are in need of kids support but I see many in US and Canada who easily ignore that citing kids wont adjust in india..in reality they themselves are not ready to move back..at the end..around 43-45 you start getting depressed watching kids glued to screen and lost all social connect.. so its best to keep kids close to culture and give them time ..
There is no return. People are having themselves on that oned day we will return "rich} to India. I had cousins who departed the US years ago and now live in exile in Goa. Thay are similar to being under house arrest, since you cannot go anywhere amongst the mob. Return if you must....but be prepared to face the consequences!
I think this is a problem with all individuals, no matter what country you're in. I moved to Canada a couple of months back for the exact reasons that you say you miss. The chaos, mismanagement, pollution, lack of traffic sense, judgemental neighbors, and a mad rush to be first for everything because of a lack of resources compared to population - all these caused my depression in India. After achieving all my goals and attaining financial stability i moved to Canada because I realized that whatever you do, human life has no value and no respect in India.
@@AdityaJape You're right... Someone whose priority is to make a lot of money - India is the best country to live in. My priority was to have a better quality of life and to allow my kids to have better opportunities without worrying about competition and reservation.
@@shaktikathpalia i agree with you about the value of human life, in India if ur life is going normal well n good, but if some problem will occur and you have to deal with authorities, they will see how influential you are.
@@shaktikathpalia dont count on that. Due to lots of indians migrating to west in last 4-5 years, situation is getting bad here also due to excessive competition for education and jobs.
NRIS be careful your own relatives in india who have everything will take advantage of you and not help you and rip you off and they act like they don't even have food to eat
Sirjee i disagree slightly! Depression un logon ko hai jo US se deport ho ke aaye hain! Jitni gandi politics aur chamchagiri India main hai utni west main nahi hai.

Merely one thing getting in my mind is the memories of my birthplace, my schooling, and my relatives (previously I don't like them too much but after meeting people from internationally I find Indian people are more kind, loving, and caring, and more cultured), my family and friends.
Then, I thought How will my son adjust to these different environments, where he took birth in Noida, where at age of 7 he has 20 friends in society and many activities (basketball, swimming, skating, etc under one roof). And, In Paris, it's really difficult to get such a good society with these activities. And as part of the Income and expense ratio, it's nothing compared to India, where is a cheap living cost with good earnings and luxurious life.

Congratulations for identifying the issue at early stages
Welcome back to motherland
Rupa Madam , really appreciate your courage to quickly take the decision.
I also came back after living abroad for 4 years. Trust me you won't regret being here... the chaos itself keeps you busy, engaged and there is no place for depression.
Why did you leave India to start with? You were interested in going abroad. No reason to criticize.

It has been 3 years in Canada. The WINTER season is going on here. Every day I get up with severe depression. A monotonous lifestyle is kind of killing me. I am less motivated to do something, i felt like my energy is draining as days pass on. Living without family, and friends, and not attending festivals is equals to self-destruction..I felt like as a human I am losing my value for some extra dollars.
Yes i have to go back to my roots where life exists
That's your misunderstanding. What you call draining energy is because quite possible the daily routine of discipline is not there.
Perhaps you are right but What’s the fun in discipline?
@@MantoshKumar-uv1sh It's not fun at all but there many things to consider. If you work hard and open up a flourishing business then everything will be no stress zone. But for that one needs discipline. I wake up at 3:30AM everyday, brush teeth, shower, pray, in a day do 10 miles walk, clean my own house, pay all my bills, I have no debt anymore I have professional good paying job and I also have a business and starting another business. Now I travel whenever i want where I want without any worries. Time is your greatest asset.
Fellow Canadian here. I think Hemant Bhai's point ke initially you are very enthusiastic and energetic to face new weather. Winter and snow. And then consistent deprivation of vitamin D deteriorates energy levels. This is what is happening with us too. Planning to make a move back in 2024/25.
All the best to you as well 🙌

very nice video.
According to me, India transformed itself every decade.
1990 - 2000 : LPG reforms. color TV, limca, DDLJ, 24x7 news, VCR etc.
2000 - 2010 : house prices increase 5x. Concept of gated societies started in metros. Club house, pool, gym, etc. 20 hours electricity everyday. multiplexes, visible improvement in roads.
2010 - 2020 : expansion of gated townships in tier 2 and tier 3 cities (including my grandfather's village of vidisha - the most backward district of MP). Row houses with modular kitchen, concrete roads (inside township), common amenties.
2020 - 2030 : lots of airports, expressways, EVs, solar on every home. Most middle class will shift to gated communities. 40 story towers in metros and small row houses and apartments in cities like bhopal, jaipur, etc.
VIsible improvement in quality of life for each decade. The aspirations for those who went in 1990 would be very different for a upper middle class boy today who has everything - AC in room / car / eating out with friends / etc.
back then 24x7 electricity and good roads was a big selling point to go to west. Now apart from money, why should anyone move to west if they get same salary ?
Nice observation and explanation
Bhopal se kaun hai. Bada acha bataya Hemant bhai ne .
Too good nailed it
I am dealing with the same depression...it's been 4yrs since I moved to UK and the loneliness is killing me. My body is here but my soul and heart is in India...I miss my country, my family and friends.
Then what is stopping you to come back
@@NRIreturntoindia Employment, husband and house.
These all are managable if you really want it ..... First convince yourself...be 100% sure.....things will fall in line.....i will make next video on it as how I did it
@@NRIreturntoindia Yep, thanks !! 😊
Why don't you engage social activities which benefits your health like swimming, gym, cookery dishes cuisine etc.
Bhai aapke saare points ekdum correct hai. I liked the social integration point. I am in US from past 15 years and yahan par ye insecurity rehti hai ki aap kisi ko offend na kar do kuch bol kar. Kyonki hangout same group ke saath karna hai aur koi option bhi nahi hai. I miss jab mai india me apne friends ke saath kuch bhi majak kar leta tha aur woh bura maane to char gaali deke manaa bhi leta tha. 😀
That will be missed part always
Yes correct everyone become like small child when they move abroad.
I am an nri past 15 years.i work in a good company.
It's TRUEtthat we miss our relatives.
But finance is necessary in life.after these many years abroad I am comfortable at present.i can go back to india in 2 years time..I can meet my relatives after all these years.
Mine is whether to go to USA or not Dilemma 🤔 thanks for sharing the truth. It's important to take informed decisions.
Thanks
Great video.. I m visiting & staying in US for 20+ yrs.. All points are valid, solutions make sense..
keeping ties in India alive is very crucial..persuing 1-2 hobbies is a must to stay energetic in life
Very eye opening video.
I am out of India since 1991, really enjoyed my life, settled in UK, children grown up and started their careers. Now, we are really fed up with weather in UK. Suddenly my wife and I started missing India, friends, family, relatives etc.
We have now decided that we will attend each and every function in India. We visited India 3 times in last 11 months and enjoying each and every magical moment. Love you India. ❤️💕❤️
Can v connect
Sir I also want some guidance can you help for the same (issue disscused in video)
@truptishende5000 you can call me on Instagram at hemantdubey79
How many times will you travel after a certain age.I have been doing this since last 45 years mumbai to uk..lekin aise lagta hai hum na idhar ke hai na udhar ke..its getting very very depressing here, The weather is such u dont feel like going even out for a walk either.There are no 24x 7 helpers here which after a certain age we really cannot do it ourselves..India is much better due to weather and social life..brings happiness with your body n heart.
Thank u very much for pointing out problems faced by almost every NRI …you explained points better than anyone else..thank u
Welcome
Hats off to you sir!
jo baat family gathering me logo ko me samja nahi paaya woh aap bahut easily aise video se samja dete ho.... 👍👌
Sach baat pata hone par bhi darr lagta he logo ke mindset badlna easy nahi he
Totally relate with the chaos things. Bahar life bahut hi robotic si feel hoti jaha aap 6 months baad b predict kr sakte ki aap ka din kaise beetne wala hai..lol
Sir u mentioned exact point which i feel from heart
Thanks buddy
What is great points covered in your fantastic video. You are doing great work Dubey ji. Your point can only be understood by people who is needing to have social and homeland connection. There are millions of people who wants to listen you. Please keep doing this good work
Thanks
Bilkul sahi sir same hum log aaj feel kar rhe he .. aaj 4 saal hone ko aaya still we missed india
Here I seen people living in USA and no green card last 25 years and can’t go any function or any thing here
If I don’t get my green card I was going back to India now my son and daughter 28 year and 22 years old
If I go back to India my daughter going in depression so now I am going every year only
Now covid 19 now going to India after 3 years
When I came here I found it I made a big mistake but my planning was to open big business in India
But parents said get married Indian girls but when they going to school learn western culture
Very true for single professionals .. I have the same for 3 years or so .. i am 34 (unmarried and not in relationship currently) .. lived in usa for 11 years now .. everything you said is true
But living in Dubai is equally good as living in India. Too much happening here too ..lots of indians (expats) ....but yes weather part is still there , 3 months in year is very hot rest uae is awesome. And its very near to India... it takes only 3 hrs by plane to reach in India..... I generally go 3 to 4 times in a year to India. Education is also very good.....( from cbse to american every curriculum available) world class facilities, world class medical facilities, world class brands and many things r available.
Guru ( hindu monk) also visit dubai because lots of devotees live here , they keep inviting them so we can take their darshan. Gurudwara, mandir , church everything is available.....
Living in uae never lead u in depression.
Settling in Dubai is not possible
stop fooling urself, India is India
Travel to India 3 times a year , most of the companies allows months of work from home 🏡.. kids in Europe have lot of holiday , atleast in France.. 6 weeks of school 2 weeks of holiday .. you can earn all your life so try to travel often to India.. sponsor your family , brothers and sisters to travel often during their vacation.. keep a deadline what's your financial goal .. India is the best country to live in mid 40's to old age .. work life balance is good outside India..
Very true sir ….very very true and satic observation and suggestion…..aur ek baat agar aap add karo to USA me Indian festival uske asli muke pe nahi lekin apne convenience se manatey hai jaise ki agar aaj Diwali hai or working day hai to phir Saturday sunday weekend ka intezaar karo usko celebrations ke liye ,,,Navratri hai to weekend mei hi celebration karo tab tak to mahol khatam ya to ek fake mahol ek jhoothi taslli ke liye festival manaoo sirf India ka festival hai iss liye ..!!…jaise ke maa Ambe maa ko bolo weeekend tak wait karo
People from small towns in India have these issues. Their lives are focused on social ties.
America is suitable only for ambitious people who don't have time for social life. It is land fit for achivers who like to travel alone.
Absolutely agree!
Agree.
about depression and Vacuum perfectly said bro.. nice video
The example which you have given at 6.20 perfectly fit for me, i am living in France since 16 years and since 13 years i am staying at same house, when i wake up and go to work for which i take public transport trains i don't see much difference and this one i am asking for me since few years and to day i encountered your video.
So true, it’s been 15 years since we moved to UK. Every year we think that we will move back but cannot.
Same here
I am also staying in Uk since last 16 years. Now i have made a decision to move to India as my son is 11 years old. Hope for the best.
Hi Hemanth ,
Currently I am working in UK from last 4.5 years and have a 9 Years child he is studying in year 5 and bought a house on Dec 2022. Now me and my wife feeling that we are not happy to stay here feeling alone here , so we are not happy to continue my son studies in UK and want to go back to India.
So can you please suggest is this correct time to leave UK now and can be able to settle in India ?
Yes 9 years is fine.... please check my previous videos on this topic to get better clarity
Sir you are great !!!!!!! I think yeh muze india k dusre logo ko batana padega who are worried ki hum india Kyu aana chahte hai
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sorry mate, I just want to add another key perspective: the advantages of India, which you have added, are when person move to home city, if the person moves to any other big metro city which is far from the home city, all the same things are applicable. There is no difference if a person lives in Mumbai or Paris, if that person family is not from my Mumbai.
In India, there are too many people who don't have friends. Social media has impacted the rules of life. Depression is increasing at a very fact pace. There are more than 30% people in India as well are depressed. India also has massive competition and job issues.
Absolutely correct I am going through this phase after staying away for last 18 years outside
Sir I completely agree with you. I completely relate to this
Your voice seems similar to Late Rishi Kapoor ji. Nice analysis, relatable to Indians who moved from small cities, villages to metro cities. 🙏
Thanks
Ye sahi baat hai sirf family ke karan nahi
Par india me ek mahol hota hai jisme ham bade hue hain, ham chahe kisi se jyada baat nahi kare par hame pata hai ye sab log hindi bolte hain mujhe samajhte hain.
Kuch bhi manchaha khana kha sakte hain yahan india me. Maid, driver, grocery delivery, sabji mandi kuch bhi karte raho.
Hemant ji you have again nailed it exact to the point in this video. Much thanks for sharing.
Regards.
Thanks
I already had depression when i was in india so no change for me :)
I am here in USA for last 4 months .Have 2 kids but i feel like this was not good decision to come here at this stage of life where kids need good education and I found in public schools education levels are not like Indian schools..I am very worried about the education point of view ! And my husband is here with me on H1B ..We daily discuss to move back to India to avoid big losses about kids ..When we were in India we thought about good life in USA and we came here but now with in 4 months we understood we made a mistake but I think it’s not too late for us to move back …I just want to know if this is very early to make decision to go back to India? Or we need to give some more time ? II appreciate suggestions!!

Wait for couple more days, calculate everything (economically/happiness) in your life.
Then trust yourself & make Final decision.
Grass is always greener on other side.
Hi Hemant ,we are planning to relocate to India after 13 years of staying in London, could you please make video of like best of sending stuff to India and other things for easy and smooth move
Sure, i will try to make....Also regarding expenses and other process i have already made videos as how to settle in india
Good topic
Oh, please don't. I'd rather you move to the US than India. You will be heartbroken to know the system is broken, waiting for everything, and your values are not accepting. I would reconsider.
@@jaithak7267 which waiting you taking about ? Their are both good and bad think. It's person to person priority.
What you said about US might be true but perspective about India have changed a lot except the warm weather. Most of the people are having smaller social circles and this is applicable in tier1 and tier 2 cities. This is my personal observation. People in Tier - 1 city live like US. They hardly attend any family functions and visit their hometowns. Nuclear families taking over and bond between cousins and extended families diminishing. Yes construction works keeps happening throughout the country but I am not sure how far you are excited to watch the construction sites in scorching heat. Gone are those days people were having grounds to play cricket, those all fields are encroached and tall buildings can be seen. To those who are thinking, must take opinions to their friends who left western countries and settled in India.
100% correct !!
100% correct sir....
Which part of Delhi,I am also from Delhi born in Delhi and age 28 went to USA and was planning to go back but parents told me to stay in USA and I got married with Indian girls she born in India and migrated to Uk age 6 and western culture she came from Uk to USA 1985 and became citizens and I got married and now more then 30 years green card I am planning to back to India
I used to be a senior engineer in Bmw analysis and use to work 12 hr a day next day same
My wife I thought she is Indian but western culture and use to right name off the food and bread
Cheating day one ,doesn’t want to add my name in insurance or bank account
I find this very relevant, currently staying in USA
I am in USA since last 7 years, the points are very true and well analysed…
Thanks
Please cover those stories who failed to cope up in India after they come back from the foreign country and lost few crores here also by bad investments and planning to go back to foreign country
💯 right on every aspect.
Thanks
Hello sir can u pls make videos about big kids like if u brought kids in 11 th or 12 th grade then still are they able to make good carriers n future in India because more of NRI are stuck they thought in USA higher study and job are muche easier then india and all adults stop each other and force everybody and say you are going to ruin and spoil kids future taking them to India that’s why most of them always gets scared for kids pls make this also clear..thank you
You are right but I have seen so many people from india and neighbouring countries who have come here in London and stayed here whole life leaving their kids in india. I mean they planned it like this ….one lady from Gujarat I knew had left her 1 year old child in india with her mom and she and her husband came to UK and now it’s 15 years the kid has only seen them on phone calls…. It was knowingly they planned it…. So I think people who care they do it in any case and lot of people don’t give a damn about their parents or relatives…. Or even kids….
The problem is the feeling of generation gap, alienation, boredom with routine life, and non Indianness. The married immigrants are hooked once the children start to go to public school. It is the children's education, the insurance companies, taxes, mortgages, and jobs that all demand sacrifice. This is how you are hoped to system with the false assumption of security and material culture. It is too late once you get old. Also, women tend to like Western freedom more than their husband. It is difficult for many to take decisive steps earlier in career and return to the home country
In totality happiness is relative and if you are seeking comfort in materialism, it is short lived and not wholesome.
.
Another great video! Yes, there’s a glow on the face and a sort of nasha after returning from back home. At a small level this problem also exists for people when they move from a small city to a big city in India for work.
I think there is one more point, recognization! Even a small accomplishment at work or in family can get you recognition in your family and friends. Sky is the limit to contribute towards your society. When you are abroad, those things don’t matter to other. If you’re driving a BMW so what? Even janitors drive a BMW in some cases. I am not saying it from a materialistic standpoint. There are people back home who can relish your accomplishment but not abroad. That’s the reason why NRI still talk so much about what they bought abroad.
Thanks
Absolutely right sir.
Thanks
India is a growing country. The best is to go out and make some money and come back in 10 years.
People are trap for kids and can't come back... What's future in India as reservation is biggest monster
Vary friendly talk. Genuine
I have been in the same situation for 7 years in the US and don't know what to do
I came to canada here as a student and now i have decided that I’ll go back after finishing studies. Nahi chahiye PR, mujhe aap jo keh rahe ho same feel ho raha hai sir
Goodluck buddy
Sir i just have one question. Whenever i say to someone that , I’ll go back india , they are like koi nahi jaata , sab starting me aisa hi bolte hai. Then my moral gets down. What should i do in such situations?
@patelsahaj4798 watch my all videos and you will get answers... there is very large numbers of NRI who are coming back including me......the mistake you are doing as looking for world approval for personal decisions
Nobody asked you to leave your country or comeback. if you are not happy then it is just a consequence. If your mindset is not right then you wont be happy anywhere. Your happiness is exogenous but if you are driven and motivated then you will indeed find a way. As per my experience if you go abroad in your teenage then it will be easier to adapt. Do your own research i moved to florida from Pittsburgh because i followed my comfort than money.
You are right on...
Well done. Detailed video.
Thanks

Hello sir , need some advice !!! If anyone who is not sure that how life will unfold after moving to abroad , and bcoz of this if he/she is dropping the plan to move to foreign countries, what are all the other options for settling here in India itself, as employment rate is very low in India especially for those who have completed their studies from average colleges in India. In such situation should one go to abroad or should settle in India itself ?
Please contact me on Instagram at hemantdubey79.....we can discuss this
@@NRIreturntoindia sure sir🤗
USA Canada life is so depressing
How so? We are having fun and living out loud... learn and grow, India was fun temporarily, but then it is a rat race.
Moral of the story if money is the only reason thn just find ways to earn money in India only, what's the point of earning crore by sacrificing priceless relationship, culture, food and settled comfortable life? Just not worth it, even if one just don't go for settling there have clear goal after such point will cm back to own root.
True
Agreed a 100% on weather
Hi Hemant, how can we connect? Email or phone? Thanks
sir, thanks yeh videos banane ke liye. mera ek sawaal hai. mera ek dost hai jo US mein 10 saal rehne ke baad india return ho gaya aur abhi kaam dhaam sab chodke baitha hai, bolta hai kaafi kamaya hai aur ussi se zindagi chal jayegi. kya yeh possible hai? woh single hai . aur ek baat, woh doosre religions ki bohot burai karta hai. usko uske caste ko lekar bohot garv/pride dikhata hai. yeh banda pehle aisa nahi tha.. woh south indian hai, par metro city mein pala bada hai. kya yeh sahi hai ya galat? woh aisa kyu bann gaya?
In india is the same after you turn 25-28 or so it is hard to make best friends who will be there for you everytime if you left your country for money and fame then better to be prepared than crying like babies abroad.
Mind makes you happy not location i believe.. if you are lonely soul in india... you will be lonely soul in usa
💯 correct what u r talking
Thanks for your thoughts. My kids are 9 and 4 and I'm settled in US for past 10 years. I'm 42 now, I do think going back but the only dilemma i have are
1. If i plan to go back in next 2 years my elder kid will be in 6th grade. At this level, Indian education is going to be way tougher for her to cope because in US schools kids progress slowly from KG to 5th grade, has anyone faced the same situation and have some realistic suggestions?
2. Since kids are US Citizens, chances are that for Higher education they may come back to US. Doesn't that mean it will be back to square one?
This is part of over parenting which most of NRI does including me.....i took the decision and within 1 year my son adopted...he was 8 when we came
Please don’t come back
Hi Pushkar, You are at the no returning point. Just carry on. Make life's journey in the US. Your daughter will get bullied in schools and also will lose her identity. I would not downgrade the US school system, having both kids in gifted and talented, kids in India doesn't even have the tools and supplies we have it here. Best.
My situation is like you only but can’t take the decision
Is returning an option once kids are in college? What are Pros and cons?
Yes that's an option if kid is already in different city and living separately....... If you are planning Retirement in India then it's best to come and get settled
Thanks for sharing your point of view. The India I grew up in doesn't exist. I left India 35 years ago. USA is closer to my values. Most Indians are living in the rat race just like most in USA. Too many relatives expect NRI to help them and bail them out.
Wait till you turn 60, kids out of door, and spouse dies, the loneliness will be devastating in US, a life in nursing home awaits you!
@sanjitananda sanjitananda is not true at all. Maybe a one-off case. Most have multiple properties and have secondary sources of income. The only thing we don't have is Indian derived food is everywhere, and life is much more spectacular here than India. Do travel, will open up your experience and knowledge
@@jaithak7267 Am a physician, seen more than 100k US patients and heard their life stories, may be someone needs to be more aware of the US society! US middle class does not have multiple properties, better to live outside a bubble..

Marriages are what comes to mind when i think of moving to India.
Too much pomp and show and chaos.
Also, because of wedding processions, sometimes my husband and i used to reach home at 10 pm (stuck in traffic etc)
This scares me. If i write 10 reasons to go back to India, my only reason will be parents, whom i also support financially, so will be difficult to extend a financial support to that extent.
:(
So true
Thanks
We r in same boat
Very true
Hemant, Are you some time regret coming back ?
Not at all....Me and my family is happy here ...may be it's good idea make one video of my family experience
Bhai JIN ko Joseph Robinette Biden Jr ne bulaya hai usa me wo theek hai,
but all other people studied hard and wasted their money on education time and other resources
And came to usa why did not they stayed back home in india.
I think we all are greedy and selfish.
did you mean depression and Vacuum ?? 😉
Thanks for pointing out...done
Best advice for Indians, never ever leave India, just stay in India, na rahega baas, na bajegi bansuri......end of all discussions of this type.
You mean struggle throughout the life, stay in a stigma of bending and bowing. India makes you a local citizen, and the US makes you a global citizen.
@@jaithak7267 Not really. Who says its struggle? Its your motherland, you should never leave. Then why do Indians whine after leaving India? They miss everything about India, food, festivals, celebrations etc.
Hi, I will say till you are 40-42 US/Canada is very good, you need to look out for health post 40 because without good health and job..USA is worst country..on kids I see major mistake desi parents make is to disconnect their kids from indian culture and mother language.. they get so involved within social media, gathering that they ignore kids and surrender them to laptop,games,mobile etc. , parents getting old and they are in need of kids support but I see many in US and Canada who easily ignore that citing kids wont adjust in india..in reality they themselves are not ready to move back..at the end..around 43-45 you start getting depressed watching kids glued to screen and lost all social connect.. so its best to keep kids close to culture and give them time ..
western countries will soon run out of money best of luck living there.

Thay are similar to being under house arrest, since you cannot go anywhere amongst the mob. Return if you must....but be prepared to face the consequences!
I think this is a problem with all individuals, no matter what country you're in. I moved to Canada a couple of months back for the exact reasons that you say you miss. The chaos, mismanagement, pollution, lack of traffic sense, judgemental neighbors, and a mad rush to be first for everything because of a lack of resources compared to population - all these caused my depression in India. After achieving all my goals and attaining financial stability i moved to Canada because I realized that whatever you do, human life has no value and no respect in India.

@@shaktikathpalia i agree with you about the value of human life, in India if ur life is going normal well n good, but if some problem will occur and you have to deal with authorities, they will see how influential you are.
@@shaktikathpalia dont count on that. Due to lots of indians migrating to west in last 4-5 years, situation is getting bad here also due to excessive competition for education and jobs.
NRIS be careful your own relatives in india who have everything will take advantage of you and not help you and rip you off and they act like they don't even have food to eat
That was my experience and when you stop giving them money they put you down and stop talking to you and then gossip about you
Then they act like they are the victims and accuse you. Not all relatives may be yours are not like that I would say
At first they will befriend you and try to black mail you
