12 Years in USA, Then Back in India I Wish I Knew THIS Before

After spending 12 years in the United States, returning to India wasn’t just about moving countries — it was a complete emotional, mental, and lifestyle reset. This video is not about patriotism. It’s not about regret. And it’s definitely not a motivational speech. It’s about the things nobody prepares NRIs for when they decide to return to India. In this honest, long-form conversation, I share what I’ve learned in the last 1.5 years after returning to India in 2024 — what we truly miss about life in the USA, what we don’t miss at all, and how reality quietly unfolds once the excitement fades. In this video, I cover: Common myths about schools in India after Return to India (R2I) What NRIs genuinely miss about life in the USA What we don’t miss about the USA, especially day-to-day lifestyle The identity shift NRIs experience after coming back How expectations vs reality slowly collide Why returning to India is often harder than leaving If you’re an NRI: thinking about moving back to India stuck in silent confusion about your future torn between comfort and belonging or questioning whether “returning home” is really that simple This video is for you.
