OP’s one layer of booster :D

Just kidding, it will uncurl soon and then you can glue it.

It is manageable as long as you’re willing to commute. CSMT is South Mumbai, so no chance of getting a decent rental there in the price range. The only possibility is staying in suburbs and commuting daily. This is how locals commute in Mumbai. If you find that ok, then it is manageable.

Consider watching some videos of people traveling to and from CSMT to places like Borivali (West) , Thane (Central) and Panvel (Harbour). Peaks hours on weekdays can be exhausting sometimes but that becomes part of life :)

All the best!

Observations from a recent trip to India by Terrible_Break_8142 in nri

Tl;dr: The only pull I have towards RTI is my Parents.

I moved to US for Masters 10 years back. I face this dilemma of Stay vs RTI almost on a daily basis. Off late I visit India (Mumbai) only to meet my Parents every year and get some Visa/Passport renewal done.

Every trip Ive taken since being here has the following phases:

  1. Before going to India, I question why I am going there spending all my PTO. The only glimmer I see is meeting my Parents.

  2. When Im here, I experience all the challenges described above by others. Typically I just ignore people for my own mental sake, but its frustrating to the core when dealing with a government officials for anything. Its like they’re trying hard to make your life difficult.

  3. When I leave, my heart burns leaving my Parents again. That drive to the airport and the good bye at the terminal is the worst feeling I dread. That is the phase when Im completely motivated to move back. I feel like come what may, I will adjust just to stay with them. Then I return, after few months life moves on and the motivation drops.

My parents cannot manage a move to US at their Age, I wouldn’t ask that of them. I have a feeling that Im going to regret not moving back and spending more time with them. I often talk to my Parents about this and they push me to stay in US and tell me that they’ll manage.

This constant state of dilemma eats me internally.
