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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I could never make up my mind regarding going to U.S after my engineering.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I chose to do the job instead and I have never regretted much about my decision.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it the opportunities , money , lifestyle that attracts us here ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well there are all these available back in India , mite be comparatively lower in money factor along with problems of population and traffic .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may never be able to resolve this conflict but I hope to grab a opportunity when I am here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Madhavi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2107936992008500617-1241335948868483865?l=madhavi-mattegunta.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://madhavi-mattegunta.blogspot.com/feeds/1241335948868483865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2107936992008500617&amp;postID=1241335948868483865' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2107936992008500617/posts/default/1241335948868483865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2107936992008500617/posts/default/1241335948868483865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://madhavi-mattegunta.blogspot.com/2008/09/land-of-opportunities.html' title='Land Of Opportunities'/><author><name>madhavi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06557634288644095486</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
