I did. Left last year. It sucks and with every passing day my will to move back grows over time. Will try to list my reasons in a longer thread but IT field is still booming in India so my standard of living would more or less be the same however,
The best thing that you can do for yourself and for your future generations is leave India.
Ideal time to do it is when you are young and unmarried. It gets harder with age.
I get irked each time I come across an elitist using the phrase - "speaking truth to power".
That toll plaza employee who argued with a district court judge is qualified to use this phrase.
Writing columns in the Indian Express does not really cut it.
Saw a cute girl sitting in a group of three girls at a cafe and I tipped the barista to send over a coffee with my note, her friend texts me to say she is married🤧
Anyways shooters shoot
For a vegetarian who doesn’t consume eggs, Europe is very difficult: you will have a hard time explaining due to language barriers and then you won’t really find much. The Indian restaurants also use eggs in naan and their taste is usually Europeanised- which is abysmal for us.
17k rent and 85k deposit. Same situation for us - 6x the rent as deposit. Got less than half back after returning it in pristine condition. My only regret is not leaving it in this condition.
If you charge such hefty security deposits with no guarantee of returning it, you
It’s frustrating to be away from home and all the warmth and comfort you get.
Secondly if you want to make good money, your only option is the US. Canada and Europe will tax you worse than India.
Two months in the US, my plan on moving back to India in five years, has already gone down to four👍

Made chai in almond milk today to save calories. 10/10 you should rather gain weight than do this to yourself. What a steaming pile of absolute crap it was.
There is a particular dynamic associated with people from the west commenting on the internal issues of India - and its not because we are "insecure". It's because the dynamic is asymmetric.

The Korean guy who managed the financing at the dealership I got my car from explained me that it was a smart decision to buy a manual transmission because the thieves here in the US usually don't know how to drive a stick.🤔
Owning upto the stereotype Bollywood has put on gujjus, is probably the most gujju thing of all to happen.
Yes - we are simple people enjoying fafda jalebi, looping into garba all the time and always being on cringe pro max mode and we are completely fine with it 😇
ITC Narmada has a pure vegetarian restaurant 🤌🤌🤌
Five star restaurants and food chains will come to Gujarat and open vegetarian outlets with Jain options 😌

There are supposedly good companies who laid off employees in less than a quarter of their joining or even worse - backed out of their offers a day before the candidate was supposed to join? The market is brutal and this behavior might just be a response to it. And not to mention

In the last ten years, homosexuality and adultery have been decriminalized, abortion window increased, triple talaq has been banned - but all these changes go for a toss if you can’t wrap your head around the reality that majority wants to vote for a party you consider “fascist”.

BJP taking Gujarat for granted isn't going to end well next year.
People can tolerate standing in lines for demonetization but when someone calls for an ambulance and you tell them to wait for 72 hours, it will have consequences. Or at least it should have.
“A 68-year-old man was beaten to death for objecting to a couple and a dog trainer letting their pet dogs poop in front of his residence at Soladevanahalli in Bengaluru.”
Timely reminder that as a society we’d be better off banning pet adoptions, fundamentally against it.
These folks were the reason why we did not get water supplied to us everyday and sometimes for as long as 14 days.
She should really read up on how difficult the lives were for people living in Saurashtra until the Narmada project was launched.
This was me around 21-22. Went for Rally for the Valley, to the Narmada valley MP, to protest against the displacement due to the Sardar Sarovar Dam & for rights of tribals/villagers. There were foreigners, students, activists, filmmakers whatnot. Can’t imagine now

The kid will be fine, I did the exact same thing - barely slept, missed weddings and birthdays and 8 years later, I can say that it was 100% worth it.
Being in a much better financial place - I now fly in all the way from US for my friends’ weddings, mom’s birthday and I am the
Only 5 hours of sleep in 24 hours and no time for physical activities? Five years down the line, you will realize that no exam was worth sacrificing your sleep, personal health, family time. You miss out on birthdays, weddings, and gradually your friends will drift away, and you
Mom calling my friends because I didn't recieve her call to know my whereabouts.
My friends ignoring her call and calling me to check if I'm supposed to be with them.

Why would Nikhil Kamath cheat in the game?
Can't find one sensible reason.
For someone who makes a living by managing the risk reward ratio - this is nuts.
2021: Lost a bunch of weight, got a promotion at work, got closer to some old friends and made few new ones and didn't have anyone in the family contract covid.
Couldn't have possibly asked for more.
Optimistic for the few big plans I have for next year, God speed for 2022!
People are giving unnecessary shit to Pat Cummings for donating to PM cares fund.
Guy did something good, appreciate it, move on - why do you want a random cricketer as a proxy to fight your ideological battles?

3000 cr was a suppliers' credit, not funding - one could also say that he paid the price for this in terms of reducing the vaccine prices for the state govts.
Unrealistic expectations from the businessman to stay back when he is unable to generate revenues.

Two weeks given to file a reply. Hoping the other side is able to pull of Taarikh pe taarikh and by that time we get rid of the surging cases. Inefficiency beats inefficiency.
When the Home Minister said "Jaan de denge desh ke liye", he meant sacrificing innocent lives of Delhi Police while he focuses on winning the upcoming state elections.
The comments section is a gold mine about the Indian mindset of expectations - the govt is not going to increase trains to handle the holiday rush, we don't care if you shed 5x for a first class but you should still "understand" the situation.

do you know this is AC1 of train 12418
Where is the TT? How are these people allowed in AC1 coach? Who takes the ownership of my security?
People need to know that outside of India, security doesn’t check your ticket at the airport entrance. You can just walk in, meet someone or wander around till security clearance and go out.
10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru Economic Corridor is being constructed at record speed. Rs 8172 Cr economic corridor is likely to be completed by October 2022. It will reduce the travel time between the two cities by half from current 3 hours to only 90 minutes.

Make no mistake using terms like "Gujarat thugs" - is totally a form of covert linguistic racism that these people find it okay to perpetuate because Gujarat votes for the people they do not approve of.

Kamala Harris blocking the raw materials crucial for manufacturing vaccines is a lesson for Indians - that not only do we need to stop celebrating the political success of Indian Americans but we need to actually stop caring about it completely.
Girl on a first date asking me if I use apple music or spotify while being quite explicit about judging me if I am on apple music.

So today we rented a 4x4, drove upto 14000 feet at Mauna Kea, the highest point in Hawai’i, and watched a mesmerizing sunset where the skies were below us.
Just flew back to US less than 12 hours before and I am already want to go back😞
I thought taking mom along would ease it off but I have realised that I miss the city of Ahmedabad and its warmth, comfort and cheese more than anything else.
One of us took a 2 hour bus and the other took a 24 hours flight to be here, but both are equally happy to watch Dhoni in action for the first time in their lives 🤌

So, the next time if someone says - "Why aren't we talking about this?", do remember that its perfectly fine about being defensive and pointing out that its our internal matter.
