Swadesh

Lately a lot of NRIs are talking about going back to India. Reason: 'they are bored with abroad life and that the Indian economy is picking up'. Why does this bug me? What if people are smart enough to make their hay when the sun shines? Why should I think about those people who (for whatever reason) couldn't/wouldn't/didn't move abroad looking for greener pastures? What if these 'foreign return' tagged people affect those hard working people's chances on the career front? After all it is a dog-eat-dog world! Survival of the fittest(or the smartest) is the mantra here!

It's a free labor market.

All along most of the Indians were smitten away by anything "foreign". Why they even prefer a foreign mapillai! Now what a turn around! Ofcourse anyday our Indian values and culture cannot be a match to any of the foreign countries. I think its quite good from the positive angle!

PS - I am also one such NRI waiting to get back home!!!

MT, guess, it was(and is) the same when we landed here, huh!

Hastobeme, enjoying the best of both worlds, eh? Good luck!
