Thanks Vichu It is very ingformative and educational Motivated to get into blogging and inform and learn from world
Hi Vishy,
Thanks for writing this blog – I came across it while looking for information on people from US who have relocated to India.
I found many similarities between our past; striking example being the first Starbucks coffee at a Dominick’s in Park Ridge, IL
I am in my mid-to-late 20s, originally from Delhi (but without that Delhi wallah attitude that you mentioned somewhere on your blog), and have been living in US (Chicago. IL) for last 11 years. I find myself in a situation similar to one that you faced roughly a year ago
I have been thinking of relocating to India since last couple of years, but most of it was passive.
Last few weeks of my life have been spent negotiating a job offer from a company in Bangalore (one of the leaders in Telecom\Mobile domain). It has been pretty confusing last few weeks because every time I thought I was sure I wanted to do this, I became increasingly unsure of the move.
So here I am, 5 hours away from making a final call, reading blogs and forums on NRI relocation to India, debating my future, having an eating disorder…
The reason for my thanks and this long reply is short and straight – I was able to draw some inspiration from your experience. I hope I make the right decision.
Best Regards,
AJS
Hi AJS,
Sorry for not replying earlier and thanks for the nice note. Hope you made the right decision (do send an email or post right here what you decided). Nice thing is that you won’t make a wrong decision in either case. If the timing/opportunity didn’t work out this time, it *will* next time around.. In our case, it was 3rd time lucky!
