ROUDRAM Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 “We plan to work for another X years, save some money and plan to go back toIndia”. If you are an Indian in US, you may have yourself told this to someone at least once or heard many of your friends tell that. This has come to be known as[url="http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~koc/favs/x+1.html"]Y=X+1 Syndrome[/url] among desi population in US, where Y is the year of return to Indiaand X is always the current year. Majority of Indians in US relate to coming back to India with savings but forget the most important aspect I feel they should have to come back “mindset”. I have been in the US for close to 10 years and now over one year in India. Yes of course savings and other considerations are very important but “mindset” is the most important. Let me explain this “mindset” thing to you. Let us assume you have come back for good to India with family, got a great job, nice house and bought a nice car. For argument let us say you bought a BMW. When you buy it, you should have the “mindset” to accept that you are going to drive it in the most congested of the roads with lot of potholes, with traffic moving in snail pace. You will surely see someone driving an 80 cc motor cycle overtaking you and reaching the destination faster. When you see such a thing you should not be thinking sitting inside the car “I cannot drive a two wheeler through these congested roads and that too with such heavy air pollution around” even though you may have driven a two wheeler in India before you went to US. If that is going to be your “mindset” then you are going to have a tough time coming back. There are a lot of people who say India has changed with economic liberalization and stuff like that. It is true when you go to buy a car. In late eighties when my father was buying a car he had only three options – Maruthi, Ambassador or Fiat. Now if he wants he has hundreds of options. That way India has changed. The people who argue thatIndia has changed point to the new express highway and things like that to prove thatIndia has changed. Yes we have express ways that got constructed in the last decade with well laid out roads – but go for a drive on them especially during nights – majority do not obey traffic rules that defeats the purpose of the world class roads. It took me six visits to the LPG gas agency to get my gas connection to my house. Customer support for your services (that is excellent in US) is very bad (compared to US) in India. Only customer support I called in the last one year is Airtel and every time they made my blood pressure raise that I never had to encounter in US. The point I am trying to make – once you decide to come back you need to have the “mindset” to live like any other Indian and don’t even think that with “money” you can live an American life here in India. I know of some families who came back to India who never travel in trains nor go to the local markets because they think those places are not neat. They are the same people who did all these fifteen years back. Their “mindset” has not changed after coming back to India and they are in a state of suffocation. Talk to these people for 30 minutes and they will remind you of “US way” at least once. I feel such people should never be coming back. Hope I was able to make my point clear. If you are planning to come back to India then nothing is more important than “mindset”. You may find a job in India that pays you 5, 00,000 Indian rupees per month but if you are not ready to change yourself to an Indian in every sense of the word, life is not going to be smooth and you are better off staying back.
