Our move was a success by any metric. My wife and I are software professionals, and our careers flourished at an Indian rate of growth (R.I.P., “Hindu rate of growth”). Our daughter attended a preschool in Bangalore whose quality matched any in the Bay Area. Our three-bedroom flat in Defence Colony, Indiranagar, was so comfortable and so American-friendly that my friends called it the Green Zone.
And yet, two years and nine months after our move to India, on one of our regular evening jogs along our impossibly leafy street, my wife and I found ourselves discussing not whether we should return to the U.S., but when.
A month later, we were back in California.
A honest look at the reality of moving back to India. Not everyone might agree with his views and may, in fact, be alright with the changes he experienced. However, you may not experience what he did without actually moving back. It definitely is something you should ponder about if you are on the fence about moving back to India.
