My boyfriend recently asked me what do I miss the most about India? I had to think before replying food. Tbh I really don’t miss a lot except maybe the festivals

I think what I really miss is the sense of belonging and comfort that I get in India. With my family and friend circle, I had a very strong network where I could get anything done. In the US I’ll probably never be able to make that network since I haven’t grown up here. And I don’t mean just knowing people at your firm or your closest friends, I mean being able to meet someone and immediately having a mutual friend or something common with that person. People underestimate that and how powerful it can be in order to make a connection (wether in a personal level or a professional level)

Oh well I think my quality of life overall would be better anywhere in the US than in Mumbai given real estate prices and stagnant wages. That’s mostly why I don’t go back.
