Question

Living in Germany for last 6 years with family. Always thinks about things leaving behind. My Wife also have same feeling. Our Daughter age 7 years loves India and like to go back to her Grandparents. Our son age 4 years likes to live in Germany and always miss his Kindergarten's friends during his visit in India. I have a good Job here in Germany. My parents also want that we will return back.
Can anyone suggest what is best for us, we are in doubt thinking about the future of our Children. Will be glad if anyone has similiar type of experience share his opinion.

Answer 1

FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE HAVING YOUNGER KIDS. WHAT ABOUT YOUR CARRIER IN INDIA WHETHER YOU WILL GET GOOD JOB IN INDIA TO MEET ALL YOUR AND YOUR FAMILY'S NEED. IF YOU CAN DO IT IN INDIA THEN THERE IS NO COUNTRY BETTER THEN INDIA. ONE THING MORE I WILL ADVISE YOU WHAT EVER YOUR PLAN YOU IMPLEMENT EARLY IF YOU HAVE TAKEN 3-4 YEARS TO IMPLEMENT THEN IT IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU DAUGHTER TO ADJUST IN INDIA. STILL SHE IS YOUNG SHE CAN MANAGE.

Answer 2

I'm in a similar position after a few years. I really want to return to India after completing my studies and the most important reason is that I feel at home there. Money and facilities are not everything, there's much more to life. Besides, don't underestimate the economy of India! You should give priority to your and your family's happiness. As your kids are yet small, they can easily start their education in India, after a few years that will be next to impossible. So I suggest to give it a serious thought and look for a devent job etc in India. If everything is arranged, just go back and start enjoying live again! But yes, do keep an option open for coming back IF things don't work out. Altough I believe everything will just be fine. Good luck!

Answer 3

i suggest you to go back to india, only if u think u can make enough money in india to live a happy life with your family. the first thing u need to do is, either look for job or a good business which will bring good amount of money. if u can't find a good job or business then don't come back. have you ever thought about the reason why u came to germany??? its MONEY... let it be the same reason to go back to india. i hope u must have learned lot of things from germany which can be used in india to become a successful person. all of the above. Keep happiness as your first target. where will u be more happier. this is what i think , i also want to return from U.S.A, but only if i will have lot of money to do some kind of business. best of luck.

Answer 4

The majority in ur family like to stay in India. U must think of the type of job ur having in Germany, if u feel that u can get the same type of job, then u can very well come back to India. India is also growing except for the crowd. It all depends on how much attachement u have with ur parents and how big is ur family. Ur wife shoul also share herself well with her in-laws

Answer 5

leaving behind the job, if u have enough just without a second thought return.
germany is not a good place for us.
4 year old will once again get back his friends and that too indian friends,
but u will not be getting back ur parents again.
don't take anybody's opinion.
leaving a good job , yes i agree u will be in fix.
if u think u are capable u will get one in india also.
any amount of money doesn't help u than parents.
people live in very bad conditions but still look after thier parents.
c, money can be earned in any way,
when ur family also wants to come back, i wish u to come back.
all the best,
be happy.
if u find my suggestion nice and if u r coming back pl send me a mail.
thanx.

When someone migrates there are lots of factors involved for that major step. Money could be one of those reasons. But when any Indian leaves India some of the common factors work is Money, job satisfaction, secured future, and on top of all better life, education and future of our children.
When you feel like going back to India most of that feeling is nostalgic... You have to succumb to your feelings of nostalgia and have to look, what is best for your kids. If you think they could settle down in India, then Go!! don't wait. Your 4 yr old kid will forget his German friends soon once he is enrolled in one of the schools of India. Children adopt to changes must easier and fast then adult do.
So think about everything and just don't surrender to emotions. God has given our brain a higher position to our heart..for some reason.

Answer 7

My friend, with the above, you might have earned sufficient for two generations/ at least one generation. A man who finds a job in Germany could easily get a job in India to feed his family. If you are really looking for the things as said in the question, I suggest you to start now and come India. Don't worry about the future of your children, because lakhs of children in India are going to have a good future. Make your children join them.

Answer 8

Let your perspective influence your decision. Living in Germany means having a decent, comfortable and possibly a luxurious life. Every material desire is achieveable. Your children have a good education there. You have a good working atmosphere and job satisfaction.
Indian life is definitely less glamorous, although there has been a lot of improvement in the quality of life here in recent times specially in the major urban centres. But the USP is that you will live with your own people in your own country and own culture. You will have to forego many of the things you have grown accustomed to in your life abroad.
Think clearly and decide accordingly.

Answer 9

Some friends of ours in the same position like yours decided to give India a chance to see if they would be able to adjust back.They took their international passports & have gone back for 4-5 yrs ,with the option of coming back if things don't work for them in India.
You could plan somthing like that.If you feel so strongly about it,now is the time to take this chance when the kids are younger & it is easy for them to adapt.You may regret not doing it at a later date
So plan properly & always remember to keep an option to go back if things to work out

All the Best with whatever you plan

Answer 10

See, if you have ur family near you, i guess any place in the world is "home". If I were you, I would continue in Germany, make life more comfortable for my family and think about coming back when it is easier for you to make a clear decision. See, I guess u r troubled now because you think you haven't made enough money yet. So wait until you've made enough, and take an easy decision.Got me???
