Yeah, this 'this is India and I can do whatever I want' attitude is exactly what sets the country back! Half of the jams in Bangalore are caused by people breaking all sorts of rules. Grow up!

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.
