To all the Indian 20-40-year-olds who are contemplating their move back to India but are filled with uncertainties, this is an honest compilation of 10 differences we observed after our move back here!

Domestic Help:

The first difference they talked about was domestic help. He wrote, "While I do worry about the cost of labor being cheap, the convenience is undeniable - 15-20 extra hours each week as a working couple is a luxury tough to imagine back in the US." 

Traffic:

The second thing he discussed was traffic. He mentioned, "Traffic in India is not necessarily worse than it is downtown New York or San Francisco, but it is certainly more unpredictable and irritating, the couple said. They don't see a solution to this problem soon."

Digital Convenience:

The third thing is digital convenience, he added, "Sure, the US has Instacart & DoorDash, but the intra-city logistics here are far superior & efficient."

He also highlighted the differences in personal connections, digital payments, orderly queues, food, outdoor activities, and others. You can refer to his tweet for the details.
