She is absolutely right. No matter what good life you have abroad, you will always be an immigrant. People living only for 2/3 years abroad not even born there are the ones that snub lndia most. Norway is a beautiful country but she still have so much respect and love for India that she decided to come back to her motherland. There are lots of problems in India but you just have to concentrate and focus on your own life.
Her post office anecdote illustrates the concept of personal space in the west vs India. In the US you have generally to leave 2 to 3 feet between people. Public transport may be an exception. There is no such expectation in India.
To have an easy relaxed life in India, you will be better off finding a good retirement home who will take care of everything. I am living in one. No worries about cooking, cleaning, maintenance etc. Plenty of spare time to pursue your hobbies and whatever you always wanted to do.
its great she is returning to india, however it will be a great shock for her once she settles down , as a tourist it is fine, but settling is not easy , because the brain is wired as a foreigner and now she has to adapt to the indian wire, which is honestly very challenging
@djprabha8801 wasn't it challenging when you faced the harsh reality of a foreign nation? The way you're talking as if people of India are living somewhere worse than hell. The degree of adaptability varies from person to person, and it's better to leave it to the persons to decide what they want, either way.
Dear Madam, Many thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences of staying in Norway and also in other parts of Europe.I have a very question which I would like to place before you below.1. There are about 13,000 HINDUS staying in Norway and you are well aware of this fact. BUT HOW MANY NORWEGIANS are living in India? 2. Why do NORWEGIANS not like to live in India although the weather in India is 1000 times better than Norway.3. Looks like for NORWEGIANS, their country seems to be far superior than India - is it not?4. Then what is lacking in India which deter NORWEGIANS not to live in India?.
Avinash, Thanks for everything you do for our community and it's really helpful for a lot of people. You should consider doing a video of the pros and cons of getting Indian citizenship if kids are already US/foreign citizens. Like how it will help kids' education in the long run with fees and government counseling vs how you will travel to US in future/vacation because from a US perspective they are always US citizens and they can't get US visa.. etc.
Thanks a lot Suresh!! Appreciate the good words. Thanks for the suggestion, we have plans to do some series on kids education and this will be something we will cover.
Really enjoyed listening to her. Found her sweet and nice lady. Wish her luck amd happy adjusting🎉.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. She has been visiting India regularly and it's on her mind.
The brain is very trainable…don’t forget that, it’s all a mindset, she will b just fine

Nice video
Thanks for watching our videos regularly!!
Nice but the interviewer’s high pitched voice is hurting my ears.
Decrease the volume. While recording, I have lowered the volume on my side. Sorry can't do much about my pitch :)
