Coming back....

It is definitely a difficult decision to make. People ask, " Is there some problem with you guys for making such a decision? Why is it always such a huge issue? Yes, we are going back to our own country where we spent those precious 23 years of life. They were not that bad. We enjoyed, we received all comforts, and foremost our near and dear ones were always there with us. I agree, life would not be same as it is here in US. But, comfort is not everything that we always deserve in our lives.

We have learnt so much staying here that includes respecting each other's space, becoming courteous, understanding each other's point of view and most importantly treating everyone equal irrespective of their work, class and religion. We are taking so much from here and are thankful to a nation who has made a culture within so many cultures that makes it a land of immigrants. It is not impossible to do the same in our country atleast from our side.

Either you will go through this door
or you will not go through....
The door itself makes no promises.
It is only a door.- Adrienne Rich

The promises are to be made by us as we know the picture may not be rosy when we get there, so finally we have prepared ourselves to come out of the comfort zone.

Well written Abha, grass is always green on the other side. If this nation (USA) has given us something then we too have sacrificed lot of things. Give and take is rule of life. Even in Crowd we feel lonely. I don’t know, it’s good or not because sometimes we want to be in crowd and sometimes we want to stay alone.

Humm life itself is strange 
