This is called a true patriot . Nice to see them together
Patriots for what. Rest others are non patriots?
Morons who were brain washed by underwear parivar patriotism. LOL.
LOL..Peace
They are really pure souls. US is a developed country and being IIT grad gives you the most attracting jobs with really really high pay.Not everybody can just return from materialist life and start farming🙂
U r 💯 , Well who will tell these ppl who don't see beyond the prism of fake glass ....
Attravtove jobs till VP then ? Agar Parag aggarwal Fire ho saktaa hae toh then anyone can get Fired . Incompetence has No place in US these days . They are even firing stanford and Harvard in Spotify they have fired IIT and Harvard for non performance phir sirf IIT kyaa cheez hae ..
Bro just search and do research how much organic Farming is in demand in today's world.
Organic farming can earn u huge money.
@@umbrellacorporation5723 there is nothing such as organic farming all natural seeds have been eradicated n seeds of crops that u have are all artificial created such as it wont give yield next timw
@@umbrellacorporation5723 only stupid people buy organic food and trying to sell organic food in a low income country is just a joke. Who is going to pay 50% more for the same food there? Lol.
Amazing couple, its not easy to make this switch as the two profession are completely opposite, great to learn they accepted the challenge and are living it.
Really, wonderful transformation !
Also the amount of money they could have generated from their professional life ...I mean it could be worth millions of dollars...so I think to completely leave that sorts of lifestyle and to do farming requires some heart I feel...
Educated farmers are required in India. Good decision. They can impress more people.
All the farmers are educated. More or less. I have been a farmer myself for 35 years. In India. On a three-acre farm.
@@ramdev9578 then you might not be living in India. Majority of the farmers donot have the facility of using TH-cam and write comments on it.
@@soumendranghosh6974 Ignorant clowns. There is something called ICAR and outreach programs. I very much live in India, dimwit. Get your hands in the soil, before you fantasize about things.
@@ramdev9578 you must be an amatuer farmer who enjoys farming as an hobby. I am standing very much on the soil as those farmers who had to fight every day cannot access even public schools. Don't fantasize about ICAR and their outreach programs as the majority of the real farmers do not know about this terminology and initiative of the govt. Majority of real farmers who are struggling every day to earn their livelihood cannot even put signatures. Come out of lecturing and put efforts to educate the farmer society. Still the majority of the farmers cannot afford smartphones and cannot see in the tube what you are commenting on. Be on the ground serious joker. India is a very big country.
@@soumendranghosh6974 You presume a lot. Whats your preferred pronoun? You sound like one of those liberal types. Has Climate Change affected your um farming operations?
Good to know they came back to india to something meaningful 🤝
Every young Indian is now realizing about that city based busy life and slowly moving towards nature . Its great. Wish more and more young people may follow the same and make agriculture development n growth
Exactly...
This shows India's future is bright
More modern techniques will be used for farming
We are already using modern tools.
Firstly they got a job in the United States.
Second they earned crore of rupees from there job.
Then after saving a huge amount they started a farm and settled in India if again they wanted to go USA they already have visa they can easily get job there .. But here in India people are struggling to get a job.
I am punjabi living and working in australia from 6years. Life in western countries really suck. End of the day you need peace which isn’t anywhere except your birthplace.I am returning to India soon.
This is extremely false
@@vennmathshub kidhar hai ghar?
what rubbish, to each his own. Have been in USA for over 8 years I have never been happier!
To you maybe 😂.I'm sure you don't reside in Australia or Sweden,Netherlands ,places like Chicago etc.if you did ,you would know how much better the places are lol.unless you r toxic religious illiterate ofc.
Money is not everything, health matters.
Both of them are an inspiration.
Best wishes to this nature-loving young couple.
They finally found peace and inner satisfaction 😊
Don't be a slave in a company be on your own feet like a Boss
True
An interesting thing to add. The guy is AIR 2 in IIT JEE 2006. A real prodigy.
2010 mei US gaye, Green card nai mila hence return to India in 2018(after good saving funds). Would like to see how they will raise their children in this village and let their kid go through the same grind of IIT. Full circle of life.
inspiring... not easy to ditch materialistic life
Most of them will return by 2030, because Bharat will be in best place.
AI will take away many jobs no one thinking about it
Congrats. Absolutely right . Look forward to all those Indians in the US, mostly upper caste who are still scrounging around for Green Cards, returning like this in droves to work in rural areas and farms. Hope OBCs St Scs and minorities will now get space in Universities to complete their education and then correct the historical injustice created by the upper caste parasites. We must encourage these people to come back and do farming, clean their own toilets, grow food for others and just stay in Nature. Leave the cities to St SC OBC and minorities. Full congrats to Maheswari (Brahmin) and Bhatia (kayasth) for taking this excellent decision. Hope they never change their minds. Ghugeji you are very right. Upper caste should come back. From city to farm that should be the pattern.
Salute to your love towards nature...
Better late than never, they finally realized. life is tough in America nothing like India
People like this are the true gems of India's future.
Great and bold decision by the IITian couple. They will do well applying new technology
I'm preparing for Engineering and I will do that too. Once a certain amount of Wealth is gained , it's time to start a new life.
Best of luck little bro...I wish that after engineering you will put that knowledge in farming so that our farming industry could become more productive...we need quality brains in farming...
Iitians are intelligent...they know one who will have farms in the future will be king maker.
I'm from UK and was born here and I moved to India with my husband. Our heritage is indian and we were tired of feeling like outsiders in a country we were born in. Tired of not knowing our neighbours and having no sense of community and family life.
UK is not a bad country but it is not spirituality nourishing. I felt spiritual hunger and need for human connection.
so should have moved to a countryside instead of complaining and leaving to another country. I lived in UAE, I cannot settle in India, its impossible.
@@Adnancorner that's your choice
Well done. Even though I wanted to do this but economic conditions not allowed me. but hopefully one day it will happen. Nature calling me.
comment section is so negative. If they have such educational credentials and experience they can always go back. But they are trying out farming out of passion. What is wrong in that? Be glad somebody is doing it while a whole lot of people are moving to cities
They earn crores of rupees and return back to do agriculture. They took it as a hobby.But if somebody took agriculture as a mainstream with small land and no savings it is a disaster.We should think practically not emotionally.
Ya man so true they are just fun having nothing else they will get back to their jobs sooner or later when their money starts depleting
correct
couldnt agree more. exactly.
You are right bro
Yup this is FIRE lifestyle - financial independence and retire early
Super cool couple 😎..the satisfaction on their faces to be back in their motherlands soil is so obvious...
It's Happening Everywhere 😂, I'm from Karnataka , Engineers Work for 7-8 Years in Bangalore , Then they return to Village and Start Farming
Yes 😊☺️🙂❤️❤️
Bhangura, is this true?
Everybody is not built for conquering the fake world. Think about it deeply- why the so called buddha left behind everything except his thoughts on oneday and his thoughts on another.
@@dr.sagarguru9356 Yes it is , We Can See Huge Change in Agricultural Industry in Next 10-20 years
I plan to do the same
Beautiful but brave story..
Thanks 😊 for trying to take society one step forward.
Problem is not with choosing different carrier.. .problem is to earn satisfactory from it to survive.
Love to watch them fell proud 😊😊
Some people in the comments are saying he's laid off man he was AIR 2 in IIT JEE he's true prodigy.
I am from karnataka i can understand the situation of USA and the situation of these couples in USA we have did it way back in 2008 these couples realised the reality of other countries india is way more safer than any countries
dont be a fool. Its not about safety. unless you have a passport and a home, there is NO safety. And no even in India its not safe.
Great.
No one dares. It's not simple. I know that you must be self motivated.
It is a dream, which you are actually living.
If these guys come up with an innovative agritech solution and build a business out of it, then the same people who are today claiming wasted taxpayer money and wasted IIT seat will tomorrow comment "proud Indian 🇮🇳".
Come on guys. No field is small if you have the will to do something grand. I've seen IIT graduates coming up with modern farming technologies to make farmer's lives easier. Who knows what these guys end up doing.
The thing here is money is not everything. All day and night thinking about money makes people psycho. The couple chose to leave the fake society and it's norms.
This was the way Sages lived in India always in solitude connected with nature.
I am happy about them. Let them do what they want who know they will help other farmers too.
@@tatsavitar7281 exactly
Our mud house is around 70 years old. Still standing high and strong. It is biggest in our area. Soon we need to demolish it. Bit of sad though.
They are engineering graduate,.they never give so easily, they have found their soul purpose !
Absolute GEM ❤
He is Arpit Maheshwari, he secured AIR 2 in IITJEE 2006 and his wife graduated from IIT Delhi Computer Science dept
Wow.
Are u a son to them?
@@vishalmane3139 no but you're to mine, please stfu
There are no jobs in the US. 😂
Bro why does the rank matter to you guys? Just appreciate their work. Just because they were good in one thing (studies) most of people in India start treating them like gods. You should appreciate then those people as well who are achieving something extraordinary in other fields like singing, dancing etc.
@@vishalmane3139 Everyone knows he is AIR 2 lol. Go and see the profile on LinkedIn.
Its time for india to rise .... indians should return to your mother land and be part of this journey
ye jo desh hai tera .. swadesh hai .. welcome home ! 🙂
I as a undergrad and postgrad from IIT....now perusing PhD, but somehow sometimes I feel very disturbed and I gave the same plan to my parents that since we belong to agriculture backgroud...I want to return to farming...They thought I'm just blabbering may b becz I'm depressed. But I really gonna return to basic.
Me too.. no more stress, live with nature.. I wish u all the best.. 😊
Right Decision, Hope you both will get all the success
Do whatever in life .... All you need is financial support and pagalpan ..... They earned well in USA and now want to settle in India .... They don't want typical 9 to 6 job....
Thank God there is someone I can relate to, I am myself leaving Canada for India. This seems a great relief to me.
Bht depression aur stressful life hoti hy abroad i can understand why they choose to return probably their best decision
Fun Fact :- One of them is still doing the freelance work and well paid.
A very important point addressing cash flow for more than basic life expenses. often missed in stories of several self made entrepreneurs, world travellers, people living their dreams, etc.
Nonetheless, very very happy for them. They are living my dream life ❤
Ram Ram ji
I live in Portugal and feel like coming back to mother India. Special thanks for covering this episode. I would like to meet this couple as I too have similar dreams.
Kindly let me know how to get in touch with them.
Regards
Taxi or truck driver?
Very good u both are going to rock INDIA. This is good news that u are back to INDIA. God Bless U BOTH.
If all of us could do this, soon nature would be blooming again
Many Brilliant minds are coming back to India to do research now that cutting edge research and everything opening out. Congratulations to the two. They will surely succeed .
Ghar me bhi apne bahut kuch hai Yaroo, God bless 🙌
This is our INDIANS❤️ LOVE YOU BOTH
Entrepreneurship in farming has big scope in India, such stories will inspire youth to pursue new career path in farming sector
Hello, motivated job-quitters! Before you turn in your resignation letter, make sure you give your bank balance a little check-up. You see, the couples in this video are from IIT and returned from the US with some serious cash in hand. We're talking more than 1 lakh/month in 2010 and a savings account of 2 to 3 crores. That's enough to live the chill village life without any income!
not really even village life got some expenses
they must have invested money into stocks for sure , that gives them regular income
@@vpstateofmind lol i don't think so, not everyone who invests in stock is successful.
@@pradeepkumar-bj4te man IT job workers quit job after 15-20 year's. they earn enough money to invest
Keep it up guys, nice to see this
Good for mental health 🙏🙏🙏🙏
They are not giving up.....they go to foreign country for High paying job after 7to8yrs they come back cuz they have money now
We have too many farmers. Its fine, they are happy. In general for the country it'd be better if they did something in India with their technical education. Hopefully they can atleast improve education in the village they are in.
Kudos to them, it takes great dedication & love for ones land to do this. 🙏
They can do this because they have more than enough for their needs and leisure.These kinds of carrier shifts are impractical solution for those who are struggling to meet their ends.
Congrats them and welcome to their motherland INDIA❣️🇮🇳JAI HIND!
Both of you are lucky who understands each other
They forgot to complete the sentence... choose to give up a high paying job and return after crores of saving
Nowadays farming is also hard because of the unpredictable weather & climate change. Hope they would continue this.
I am a radiologist (Indian origin) in US, This is giving me some ideas 💡 ❤
More power to people like you! Countries like the US are vastly overrated and culturally insular! There is no reason why a large majority of the people would want to stay in the USA and deny themselves cultural expression for the sake of jobs in corporate environment that really limits our progress for the most part! At the end of the day, be where you are happy and do the things you love to do, as long as we are able to support ourselves financially!
Good. I reside in usa and seeing outstanding improvements and progress in development i am planning to come back in 10-15 years 👍👍👍modi hai toh mumkin hai
Aabhi aajao plz bhaiya....10 15 saal aur kyon wait karna?
Best decision....... Healthy and happy life ahead
Great job. Inspiration to many youth to all enjoy beauty of nature
Good on you guys, be blessed and enjoy the green.
I wholeheartedly. Welcome the couple to mother land and wishes for their organic farming &nature life
Thanks for innovative path and role model for all of us.
Most inspiring journey! My blessings and best wishes - you will do great and inspire many more to follow ❤
An entirely different venture from IT to agriculture in the natural way!! Excellent. All the best 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really proud on them👏👏
Very brave move and inspirational.
This kind of move requires huge courage , passion, financial stability, inner calling , plan B to fallback on and determination ..
They adapt the healthy,wealthy and happy lifestyle!
Look forward to all those Indians in the US, mostly upper caste who are still scrounging around for Green Cards, returning like this in droves to work in rural areas and farms.

I see lot of negative comments particularly when people go to foreign countries and return to India after quitting their jobs. Life is a journey and some get good opportunities and they use them. Learn lesson and give back to community. It’s their life and they have the right to decide what they want to. They are just sharing! They look happy. What’s wrong? Going to IIT shows their talent and education is acquire knowledge and to use it. Not just to get a job.
@@trivedi14, how do you know. Are you their maid
Arpit maheshwari was air -2
They understood life..... that's why
Exactly
Amazing! Inspiring for other young people learn and follow your example. Congratulations and blessings for your future success and more prosperity 🙏🙏💖💖
This is their retirement plan.
Earned in crores to fulfill all the basic needs for future..and now investing time in recreation and self love.
Everyone earns in crores in USA and nothing much left to save due to High cost of living
@@tejasvi18joshi single person earning is enough if you know.. both are IITian so I think one would be saving money for such retirement
The guy is AIR 2 in IIT and studied in IIT BOMBAY. And his wife from IIT DELHI.
I'm from mit awr 1 .😂
@Krishna 2007
Yes exactly he is Saransh sir friend AIR 41
Good bless you both. Great work.. 👍
Wow 😯 this is amazing, I had purchased land in my country about a year ago and this was my plan from the beginning, in a few months I’m going back to my country to start my own little organic farm, thank you guys you are an inspiration I only wish you great success 😊
I read Italian couple and I was like WHAT ???????
this is the key to happiness and inner peace! kudos!
Tech jobs pay well but suck. I’m in my late 30s who had a heart attack recently. I now take 8 tablets a day and sit in my chair 12 hours because Indian bosses want to sign in sign out hours that exceed 12 hrs to showcase this to their clients. That’s like flying long haul flight everyday. I’m glad this couple chose life over money.
Kudos to the couple who are taking their new venture to a new direction!!! All the very best!!
Great job guys..u guys will motivate others. 👍
i have been known them since long when a small vlogger covered them but now they are getting bigger attention. good for them
Bless u guys! Keep shining. 🎉
You both are truly inspired us....
Following ur heart...is the ultimate quest..❤️
Exactly what I want to do after finishing my masters! ❤
proud of both of these who intrested in farming. i am also engineer but so many intrest in gardening as well as farming
Keep it up, thank you!
love and best wishes to you
