To Be or Not To Be..
Nope, this is not about Hamlet - it's about me.
I have a lot of relatives and friends here in the United States and I knew I will always be asked/ forced/ tempted to stay back once I have come here on the job. People have mocked me for making a decision that is against their will and those of you reading this and still saying "Raviraj is a fool" - all I can say is "Thanks for the compliments!!"
America, as I have heard since my childhood, is a land of opportunities; a place where your dreams can be fulfilled. [Agreed that I sleep a lot ( & so dream a lot!!), but have never seen a dream that ends in America. I have always dreamt of my school (Kendriya Vidayalaya No.1 Uppal :)), my home (Ashoknagar) and the games we played when I was a child, but never dreamt of settling in America]
I have heard a lot about the opportunities for self and for one's children, the opportunities to earn and save money and a lot more advantages viz. infrastructure, less traffic, less number of tensions when it comes to daily chores or for thinking about the "less important" utility bills - that save a lot of time - but somehow I am not yet convinced to settle here.
It is not about the patriotism (love for my country - India) or about me "not liking" the US (in fact, I like many things about US). The only thing that is missing for me is that I never felt that "Yes! This is the place I want to be..!" when I am in US.
I might be making a wrong decision right now. People say this is the time to earn and save - and here I am (the forever careless) turning a "deaf-ear" to all the people who are wanting good for me.
If ever there is a time when I want to move out (of my city & country) and settle in some different place - US would be the first place that comes to my mind because I know how things work here. I have really settled well here and it was really easy to adjust with people and weather.
It is just like I have tasted it - I will come back if I want it again. If I go back it is not that I will not be allowed into the country again... so, here I come India.. (specifically, Hyderabad!!) -
hmm.. not so soon.. there's still a lot of time left to go back...
