Land Of Opportunities

I always used to wonder why everyone of us had so much craze and fancy for U.S.A


At one time back in India, specially in Hyd, almost every engineering student aspired to go to U.S.A. It is said that there is a colony in Hyd in which most of the residents are aged parents whose children are in U.S.A. Whenever there is a discussion among parents, friends or just about anybody, there is always a mention of my brother in U.S.A or my relatives/ friends in U.S.A.


Personally, I could never make up my mind regarding going to U.S after my engineering.
In my time, there were plenty of job opportunities in Hyd. I was out with a job in hand in a good company as well as an I-20 from a university.


Well I chose to do the job instead and I have never regretted much about my decision.


Is it the opportunities , money , lifestyle that attracts us here ?


Well there are all these available back in India , mite be comparatively lower in money factor along with problems of population and traffic .


Well , now I am in U.S after my marriage and I have missed these very factors like the crowd, the hungama, the noise and the most important of all family, friends and relatives.


There is always a continous thought process going on whether to go back to India or to stay in U.S for some more time.


I may never be able to resolve this conflict but I hope to grab a opportunity when I am here.
