U.S. to India moving.. shipping info help

[neethy]

I would say as long as you can work, work and live here in US. Moving to India is not a good idea brother, I tried as a transition 6yrs back but in few months realized how hard and impractical it is - then changed my plans.

Have best of both worlds - India and US for you and your kids. Make sure your kids get to know experience india regularly. Taking care of parents should not be a reason, if you your siblings. Do support and help them financially and make arrangements for parental care. Lot of elder care companies have come up in Hyd and big cities - just google and talk to them. They will set up a supervisor to once in a week visit to provide help and daily maids to stay with your parents 24x7. You can afford it - not expensive. You go once or twice a year to visit, make strong bond with relatives, friends over there.

em india lo unnavaalaki pani mrodda leda... ikkada US lo kurchoni whatsapp calls chese vaadi toh bonds build chesukodaniki? nuvvu US lo busy unte nee relatives , friends india lo busy with their lives.

if your kids have US citizenship that is enough..move back. give them life in india. 

india lo perigi US lo settle avadam easy, reverse impossible.

your kids will spend valuable time with grand parents, will know your relatives (of course how useful anedi is subjective) and once they reach college they can come to US for undergrad , if they get admission in good college in india they can come to US for grad studies.

couple of frnds from my known circle moved to India...okaru no other option to stay in US (visa issues and same time family probs)...another family kavalane vellaru, he rent his town house here and left with small kids and he is on GC....every 6 months okasaari ala vachi, couple weeks unde malli India velthadu and still works for US client.

First guy and his wife both work for Indian company and good pay...dont know much abt their financial status in India

Second guy works for US client with good billing (very good in Indian Rs), so his wife is not working and both kids go to International schools and India lo family properties unnai...so basically he is in good status financially. India ki move ayye time ki, he has his own house and own car (both no loans), and US pay and couple rental properties which gets him monthly pay...basic luxuries unnai, so he didnt complain yet...chudam ila inka enni yrs anedi theliyadhu

First guy, what I heard from his close frnds, he too not complaining anta...because mentally they trained themselves...no option to stay in US...so inka ey option lekapothe, unna okka option ey best ani mental ga fix aipotham and then you will start adjusting slowly. Yes, we complain first yr - 2nd yr...but appatiki still no option to return ante, u will start adjusting and then life is decent in India anipisthadi (this is what he said it seems)

India will be better in 4-5 years with electric vehicles reducing pollution.

My friends moved to India and very happy there. They made lot of money through real estate.

[samprok]

Thanks for all of your suggestions and warning bro. 
The plan is to get a job in India and then move, working towards that.

Worst case scenario, I can comeback but I want to get adjusted to life in India. At least, try my very best before thinking about coming back. 

I will keep you all posted.

so true..lot of opportunities outside IT area if you have connections and background. IMO India caught up to 60% of US  in terms of financials, affordability, life style, purchasing power. With that said you should be having some good exp and if your wife also works..then it is the case.

This is true, almost everyone asks money. own family vallaki help cheyali, no other option, cannot expect return. I never got what i gave them, i did not ask they forgot about it. but problem with distant relative and known people and some friends who did not do well in life .... they expect a lot. I helped one of my class mate very well he was struggling in life. my class group knows about it, few others pooled some money to help this guy.

we cannot give to all cannot satisfy all .. just avoid certain people, keep only few but in good contact.

For sure kids kosam ayyi untadi. Good luck bro.
