Return to India - 100 Days

100 Days review (Apr 1 to July 10)
Status / base of my comments:
  • Home to office - 3 KM
  • Home to kids school - 2 KM
  • type of residence: luxury apartment complex of 1200 apartment
  • location of residence: Bangalore suburbs
  • Social life for Family - abundant
  • Car - yes
  • Maid - yes

All positives with NO regrets
  • Job has been funtastic, more dynamic, more challenging and lot more satisfying.
  • Lots of interaction with relatives. Atleast 80 of past 100 days should have had atleast one relative at home.
  • Lots of new friends
  • Satisfaction to read a local newspaper with all local content and spicy bits
  • Lots of local topics can be discussed and debated
  • Since apartment complex takes care of all "initial connections" and "bill payments", I am not forced to spend much time running for other issues.

Small negative thoughts:

  • Roads are really bad with speed breakers that are really bone breakers
  • Traffic jam makes you think twice
  • Expenses - You will never imagine how expensive your monthly expenses can be. Even for the money spent, you are not sure whether is it really worth it.
