When is the THE right time?
My topic of confusion is what probably is shared by many. How do you plan for something in life? A new job or or a new position or even a new place to move to? My experiences are that I tend to get comfortable with the flow of life when there are least disruptions.
But is that what you want? Is it good to have disruptions at only certain times in your life? I am not sure what the answer is. Sometimes, I feel that most of us are forced to make decisions only when we are cornered. More comfortable I get with things around me, more difficult is for me to take that first step to change the very same things even when I know that I should risk and disrupt.
Is there something called THE RIGHT TIME? Or we should plan small changes to steer our lives towards the goal over a period of time? I feel that the latter would again slide us into a comfortable flow that would be difficult to change. What are your thoughts? Is there a right time for change or change just happens?

A difficult decision
A difficult decision…Whether to stay in US for a short time or for long
Most of NRI’s staying in USA has
this burning question at one point of time. It was an easy choice for those who
came here in early 70’s/80’s or 90’s as there was a big difference in terms of
opportunities, infrastructure and money but now in 2000 era it’s a difficult equation
as lot of metro cities in India have seen growth like never before in the last
decade. All the luxuries of the world one can enjoy their. The infrastructure
is improving with each passing day. The salaries have increased in leaps and
bounds. People’s spending habits have changed dramatically. The earlier
thinking of keep saving for a rainy day doesn’t apply anymore. Now people want
to enjoy their present. With the help of various credit loans it has become
very easy to get a car, buy a house and go for vacation to foreign
destinations.
So what exactly are the reasons
people still want to stay abroad… I believe it’s not just the infra and
luxuries but the overall atmosphere. Most of the people who haven’t stayed
outside India; they are of the opinion that India is rich in culture and
heritage and you won’t get those values anywhere else in the world. The great Indian
joint family system ensures family stays close together. Lot of people in India
says that there are no family values in USA. After 18 years of age children
stay on their own, people don’t believe in marriages or they don’t think twice before
going for a divorce. Children don’t take care of their parents when they are
old.
But I think that’s not entirely
true… until and unless you stay and experience other side of the world, it’s very
difficult to comment.
I have been living outside India
from last 10 years and I think most of the values especially in middle income
class families are same wherever you go. Families like to stay close to each
other… may not be the same house but close enough so that they are able to
celebrate together or if the need arises they are able to help out each other. Kids staying outside of their homes after 18 years of age; I think it’s more of a cultural thing. American people believe in self independence and they want their children to be self sustaining, mature early in life so that they are able to take on the harsh realities of life later on in a much better way. Many People in India say that parents at abroad don’t spend on their kids’ higher studies which is true but not applicable to all instead I have seen lot of families paying very high tuition fees for their kids out of their retirement savings or they pay a part of the tuition fees and rest the kid needs to take an education loan. I think that ensures that the kid understands the value of their higher education and they complete their studies responsibly to get a better job.
There are special days to celebrate Mother’s Day or Fathers day. Most people in India have issues with that but I don’t see any issue in fact it reminds us out of very busy schedules that we should look back and thank our parents for what they did for us. In fact there is a special day to celebrate for brothers as Bhaiya Dooj and for sisters as Rakhi in India.
From my experience I have observed that American families are very close to each other and they take care of each other just like the way people care in India.
Obviously there are pros and cons
