10 Reasons Why You Should Live In India

Submitted by Shalini on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 08:25.

Summary:

If you are thinking of moving to a Western country, here are 10 reasons why you should reconsider...

Authors:

1. The India economy was never this strong. Our economy is growing, and how! Many American Indians, especially the techies, are coming back to India. So why shouldn’t you stay here?

2. If you immigrate to a different country, you have to forget all about your parents. You can meet them, perhaps once in 4-6 years, at weddings or funerals.

A Message For Desis In Pardes …

Submitted by Shalini on Wed, 11/28/2007 - 11:37.

Summary:

NRI's have a lot to be grateful for...back home.

Naaaaah! I’m not about to describe how our fellow desi Indians live in videshi lands. All that has been so often talked about and shown in TV serials & movies. What I want to talk about is, what an Indian takes along with him/her when he/she leaves for greener pastures.

Is it just the baggage full of clothes, pictures, CD’s, pressure cooker, masalas and achaar? Yes, our culture and values also go along with them. But what else? Has anyone given any thought to the skills and experience that Indians take along with them to phoren shores, never to look back?

How immigration changes you

Submitted by Shalini on Sat, 11/03/2007 - 05:00.

Summary:

A funny look at things that immigration does to people...

Authors:

Shalini

All of these changes may not appear in everyone who has left India for greener pastures. But most of them do!

Even the most reticent and shy of men learn the art of hugging everyone: male or female, young or old, distant or close! First we learnt to shake hands, and now we are learning to hug. It wont be too long before namaste becomes outdated.

Having learnt to scrimp and save on dollars, spending in rupees seems like such fun. All NRIs blow up loads of rupees when in India, just coz rupees dont weigh that much on your conscience.
