Thanks Brijesh for this relevent post... I think reading Suketu Meheta's Maximum City will also help people reassess their plans of returning to India!

Hello Brijesh,

Sorry I am glued to your blog today and finding all the topics very relevant to my experiences ...

Well written, but classifying 'mindset' as "the most important aspect" is oversimplification, imo. Here's another perspective - http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/22/why-i-left-india-again

Nair,

Glad you are enjoying your life in India. It has been more than year for us since we came back. I have adjusted well. Wife has not. We are going back next year. Hopefully it will be a short stint and we can come back to enjoy India for what it is.

Dr. Nair,

This is an awesome post!!! Couldn't agree more. People tend to sit on the decision just because they do not have the time to think about it at work!! And they get home, go have fun at the malls, clubs but once in a week they call home to India and tell everyone at home that they are planning to come back, but actually never do, because it is just not the appropriate time.

Brijesh & Jennifer, thank you both for the plain talk. You both didnt want to paint this any prettier than it is. I am glad I read this today as I am getting ready for a move back. You are right, I am one of those Y= X+1 thing, but I believe I am getting closer to the decision as days pass on. In my deep mind I have worries whether my wife will adjust to the new life, would our kids welcome

Brijesh

You must have read my mind. I was thinking and starting this exact kind of post.

You have expressed clearly to me because I understand 110% what you say and I am not Indian though I have returned to live in India a second time earlier this year.

The Airtel story made me laugh out loud.. (hence I have to write it out- forget that internet lingo!)... this
