I moved to the US when I was 11 and moved back when I was 16 and I've gone back multiple times on business in the past 3 years. It took me longer to adjust to the US when I went there initially than to India when I came back and I find it completely surprising that people who go there maybe after graduation or sometimes even later (i.e. after the so called formative years) come back after a few years and then complain about how things work/don't work in India or as in this article, how its tough to go home again. And this rant is usually preceded by how they genuinely wanted to return and contribute to the country of their origin. Please, do us a favor, stay where you are and don't come back. For every repat that rants, there is one that digs in, and contributes without cribbing. If you still insist on coming back, please understand that just by you coming back, a country of a billion people is not going to change how it works, especially if you try and replicate to every last detail your environment in the US here.
