Remy, 'Home is where the Heart is' We always feel and visualise that the Grass is always greener on the other side. We try the same, if it works out fine if not ...? I too have been in a similar situation as yours. However I have searched my Heart (emotion) and reasoned wth my mind. I am still continuing to work in Dubai (last 28 years) although my heart yearns for Goa. One day I know I will, and I also know that the God Almighty is preparing for me for it. However I am not ready it. Search your Heart, soul, body and mind. Have 2 columns made up with the pros and cons of the UK and Goan life, weigh it and see where you stand. Tough decision. I have been to UK, several times I know life can be lonely at times, but any life away from Goa is, although we complain and brood of many things, yet we know we have a sense of belonging while in Goa. (Goans only) 'United we stand, Divided we Fall' All of your four points can be taken care of, if we step up and address it, not easy though 1. Traffic. Its all over the world in major cities (try Dubai, its chaotic)2. Cleaniness. This is a challenge, with proper planning is possible.3. Crab mentality. My take: Let other people's opinion, need not be yours.4. Bureaucracy and corruption. Very difficult in a Democratic society to eradicate it, only switching over to Dictatorship will help. (UAE, for example, where progress is made in leaps and bounds) Wish you well, Leo from Dubai, now on a short visit in Mumbai.
