Sometimes it is the children's difficulties which determine the parents' decision to move back. It's happened to several people I know. I am at ease in the US and in India, and *as of now* the balance tilts in favour of living in India....wonder what will happen if, God forbid, I lose my spouse, and find myself completely alone in India....the quality of daily life, I must say, is marginally better (for me) in the US. Deepa.
