    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.

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.

    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.

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.

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. I would like to connect with you and recieve some guidance about the transition to India.

    With so much immigration flowing into North America in past 10yrs, its getting equally competitive here as well.

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.

    Work in US is grueling. WORK in India is more humanely paced. That is why, there is more collaboration at work in US, than in India. But even in US, you will get instant help, if it does not take other person more than 15 minutes. If you need longer time help, you will get it when other person has gap in their schedule. Both in India and US, one trend is same. Life in rural areas is laid back, but very fast paced in urban areas. Pace of life affect people’s stress level and behavior. Faster pace of life in both India and US, makes people colder and stand offish and sometimes rude. Indians in US do not enjoy American sports as much as Americans enjoy them. So, most Indians in America find a way to watch Indian sports. That is somewhat hard. Of course, food, family, and relatives are best in India. Even Indian families in US are only a facsimile of that family, which they would have been in India. US is best for those people who find tremendous passion in science and technology. But, there comes a time in life, that such passion will burn and you have to replace it. Enough said

    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?

    The visa issue is the main reason people move back to their home country. If you are and have been well-to-do before coming to the US by any channel, then it is a much easier decision to return. But if you are from a poor group and you did not do well financially in the US, then going back is very tough. As an HR manager, I have known people begging for any job rather than returning. Immigration fraud is common in certain ethnic groups, and the 12-15+ years of wait have destroyed many lives for not wanting to return. I’d say there are far more tragic cases rather than successful ones in the “returning” decision.

    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. Another factor is one may earn in dollars, but it has value 80X only if one comes back to India, in USA, dollar is dollar, nothing more.

    It all depends on your responsibilities and emontional bondings after reaching certain age. Experiences differs in both the countries. One is external and another in ternal dependents on once circumstamces thay face in life. Anyway a good open opinion. Wishing you all the best in future.

    Thanks for he share shirish. In my case the cons of returning faaar outweigh the pros. I guess I'm good here. But enjoyed your perspective.
