got my oci got my kids their pio loved the thought of reuniting with family and friends over a period of more than 5 years ,nostalgia,
got my kids education inthe best schools but am still waiting for people to hire me (a banker in one of the best canadian banks)
everything seemed hunky dory but few things i miss here are cleanliness,pollution free drive,malls where u can walk with strollers around
spending $1 over wada pav not bad but spending Rs.20 for something just should cost just Rs.6 when i had left india wow seems a lot on my hard earned earnings.
well as they say the grass is greener on the other side so you have to decide where exactly do u have to live and what are your preferences ,but mumbai is not the same it has changed and expenses have hit the roof ,if you have a decent job live up to it else not worth .
not to make anyone negative this is just my two cents on the current scenario in mumbai .all circumstances differ.
Well my friend, njoy your new destination.....
I have been away from apna desh for almost 8 yrs now, and short stint here. although my last visit to desh was almost 18 months ago two things struck me about the new India which somehow I could not relate to
1, Escalating cost, like he mentioned Vada Pau for Kulche Chole which was staple food being so expensive ....
2. Getting work done out of Generation Next, I found the young generation guys are very impatient, will not make serious effort to learn and earn but they seem to be in a hurry to become "Crorepati"....
Which means the value system has under gone transforamation, which is expected but the thing which hits you is the rate of change so either you get on with life accepting this change or you may be left out.
There is this new Divide which is taking place back home......
Keep reflecting your thoughts / comments and good luck to guys who have taken the plunge and better luck to guys stayin back
Om Shanti.....
Cheers
Wow! That is a bold move you have made. Congratulations! How are your kids taking it? If you don't mind me asking, how old are they?
Look on the bright side, you are very close to Goa. 
I think if it wasn't as easy as it was in today's life to emigrate from one country to the other, we would be happier. Now we have more choices like Canada/USA/India etc and hence we are always depressed thinking about the possible better choice out there. Well at least I am like that .. always thinking of hoping countries.
I think we did not have the choice we would have been happier.
seenappa: Just hire a baby sitter and go watch a movie with the wifey. Ain't that expensive to get a baby sitter.
True more choices more confusion.
