    Smiling at strangers is common in the West but that's just an empty gesture because they don't care about you beyond that. Whereas in India, people might not be Smiling at the strangers, but when you ask for help, most people care and make an effort to help you, which is missing in the West. This was my own observation while I lived in Canada last one year.

    I am 73. I used Option A, with a modification. The funds I drew out of my IRA during the years age 62 to 70 I didn't spend, but by conversion, put into my Roth IRA. So, all the market growth over the past 10 years in my Roth has been tax FREE. This is important, because once I hit age 70 and began collecting Social Sec, I did not want my bigger Social Security benefits to be pushed into a higher tax bracket due to Required Minimum Distributions that began for me at age 70

      Nobody should do MBA from USA without living in that country for at least 7 yrs and making progress in their career while working there. Why? Because MBA is very country specific. Wherever you do MBA from, you must decide to live in that country. Exception is: You family owns a successful small business in India. Otherwise your MBA from USA is useless in India.

    If you want to go back to India , do it before you first child is under 5-7 years old . It becomes more difficult after that , progressively each passing year, and eventually it comes to a point when it is unfair on your children due to various reasons and also difficult for yourself and also difficult to reconnect with social contacts due to the fact that you can only settle in a cities like Banglore, Pune ( unless you are from those cities and you go back there).
    And in India, people haven’t got time either, most people only socialise on WhatsApp and very superficial, so you may end up more lonely. So many factors to take in to account.

Your thoughts about being more impactful echo with me. I completely agree with pros of USA life and challenges in India. One of the biggest reasons for me to consider the move is quality of life. I am in my early 40s and I feel with the kind of day today responsibilities in USA, one doesn't have quality time to enjoy life and relationships in USA. I feel most people are dragging their lives or have made compromises to do very limited activites, I guess to conserve energy and preserve sanity.

    Hi Shirish - I moved to the US in 2015. I had a successful growing business in India that was already supplying the US. Initially it was tough, as India is comfortable, it’s home, you have a network of people around you, you feel secure. The US has a sense of adventure, optimism, extremely business friendly environment, you feel like you can do anything - incomparable to anywhere else I have seen, including India where it is extremely tough to get that feeling and the environment is tough and very competitive. I feel happier here making less money and doing more myself than I did in India with a team of people around me and everything done for me. Visually the country is beautiful. What goes in comes out, you see nice things you feel good - I live in beautiful Southern California so that helps. Of course many things are to some extent self created. You create your own reality / environment based on how you are a person and how you process things. Both countries offer opportunities but US for sure is ahead leaps and bounds.

      @@1525boy What is there to think? And why should i think of something that has no meaning to my existence? I have chosen to live in this bubble for a reason, it would be counter productive to live here but think of outside - makes no sense. No, i cant say that i have a desire to improve "India" - one, because that is a herculean task for any one person - i am neither a politician nor in public service, and two, because my life is here. I have to focus on improving my life and environment here. But that does not mean I am not happy to see India's success. Yes, if i move back to India i will do whatever best i can to contribute. I am assuming since you have used such big words, you must have done a lot for India and perhaps are famous for your work, please do share so we all get encouragement.

      @@NK-ov6ni Has “no meaning to your existence?” You’re living in the United States 🇺🇸, so you should think about the country in its entirety. It definitely has meaning to your existence. California is an anomaly and is very different from the rest of the country. Why don’t you travel and explore the United States 🇺🇸 and see how wonderful it is especially for a brown skinned Indian guy.
      I don’t know how much money you have because it takes A LOT of money 💵💰 to live well in California. You come across as someone who’s very self-absorbed, self-centered, selfish and greedy.

    Not a regular NRI and I don't have any wish to return home just yet or maybe ever. I don't live in the UK or USA though...I have lived and worked in different countries (not all of them were western countries). My child grew up in 5 different countries, goes to an international school with kids from 60 different countries, and feels at home in different cultures. His best friends are British and Colombian. A true third culture kid. He speaks his Indian mother tongue fluently at home, English with an accent, and Spanish. He plans to study in Europe after school and doesn't want to settle in India either. I find the quality of life to be much, much higher abroad and you get to be who you are. Yes, we miss our families back home but they visit and they understand and respect our choices. Not all NRIs go abroad just to make money (I am an educator, so definitely not in for the money) or work in IT:-) I love my life and I know I privileged to have lived in some amazing places and have met some amazing people along the way. Won't trade this life for anything.

    I have been living in US since 2009 and am in the same dilemma of moving back or not.
    One thing I want to understand is that when everyone says “close to family and friends” - is that really the case? I used to have many friends in India and I still do but with time everyone moves on. I am now in my early 40s and I have far more friends in US than India, even though I still talk to my friends in India very often (sometimes on a daily basis) and spend long hours on phone, but still they moved to different cities, everyone has a family, their priorities changed and all.
    When I ask my friends in India about social gathering, they so far less than what I do here.
    So is it really the case that you are moving closer to friends?

You can tell her to do high school in India and then if she likes she can do her UG from the USA. Also don’t wait till 10th grade, move in 9th grade. Choose IB curriculum as school choice. But make sure to talk to her. Hope this helps 😊

    In USA, one doesn't have social recognition, this is the biggest disadvantage. The life is reduced to earning money, going to restaurants, enjoying holidays etc etc, but in the end what is the sum total and what are the achievements is the key issue.

But you can still work on your plans and achieve success. Your comparisons were very interesting I have been living in Australia for a number of years and it is a little different there - I visited India on a long stay for the first time since I left - about 1 and 1/2 years. I was renovating an apartment I hope to live in for a few months at a time each year. I must say although some systems have changed and more has been built up I found myself slotting into "daily life" quite easiily - which surprised me. I actually did not feel any urge to hurry back even when things would go wrong. I was ok with that - but mine is a different journey of course.

    There can be several potential losses and consequences for US and Canadian citizens if they surrender their citizenship and migrate to their original home country of India:
    1. Tax Implications:
    - Giving up US/Canadian citizenship means the individual will no longer be subject to worldwide income taxation in those countries.
    - However, the individual may still have tax obligations in India on their global income, assets, and transfers.
    - There can be complex tax implications and potential double taxation issues to navigate.
    2. Social Security/Pension Eligibility:
    - US and Canadian citizens build up eligibility for social security and pension benefits over their working years.
    - Renouncing citizenship may impact their ability to access these benefits, depending on totalization agreements between countries.
    3. Healthcare Coverage:
    - Losing US/Canadian citizenship means losing access to government-sponsored healthcare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Canada's universal healthcare.
    - The individual would need to rely on India's healthcare system, which may have different coverage, costs, and quality of service.
    4. Travel Restrictions:
    - US and Canadian passports provide visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries worldwide.
    - Giving up that citizenship means the individual would need to obtain an Indian passport, which may have more travel restrictions and visa requirements.
    5. Asset/Property Ownership:
    - There can be challenges in maintaining or transferring ownership of assets and properties across borders.
    - The individual may face tax implications, legal hurdles, or restrictions on certain types of assets.
    6. Family/Personal Ties:
    - Renouncing US/Canadian citizenship may sever certain familial, social, and professional connections in those countries.
    - Reintegrating into Indian society after years or decades abroad can also present personal and cultural adjustments.
    The decision to give up US or Canadian citizenship is a major one with long-term financial, legal, and personal implications. Careful research and planning are advised to understand the full scope of potential losses and ramifications.
