It's been just over two years now and I can say i'm finally starting to get used to living here again. But I was in the US much longer than you. Will add your blog, good to read experiences from people who have returned. I moved back here after many years in the States.

However, may I ask how many years you stayed in US before making decision to move back? Was the decision based on economic conditions or lay off situation? It might be a more difficult decision for someone who has recently moved in to H-1 status and doesn't have the financial savings to lead a very comfortable life in India. There could be financial burden/loan type situation. What you guys suggest? Looking for thoughts! Hi,

There could be financial burden/loan type situation. What you guys suggest?

Looking for thoughts!

Had no idea you were planning this move. I guess settling in a big city will help you adjust the change in lifestyle. But it looks like you love India and have a strong sense of belonging. So you will soon start loving it! :) And will you now become Indiandesi if there is such a term? Oh yes, mangoes! I do that with mangoes. Go loony. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alphonso ofcourse.
