Subhash detailed that, like others, he was also fascinated by the idea of migrating abroad. He wrote the SAT back in 2003 and got multiple admits, including NUS and NTU.
Eventually, he started a venture in one of India’s most heavily regulated industries. “There were moments when I wondered whether staying back had been a mistake. The system certainly gave me enough reasons to feel that way. Yet, by God’s grace, I survived. And despite everything, I still love this country. “I would rather be a small soul in a country I love than spend my life as an indentured servant in a soulless system. I had my opportunities to leave. I chose to stay. At this stage of life with parents getting older, its so comforting to know that you can be there for them at the drop of a hat. No amount of USD can compensate for this!”
A fourth said: “Not due to design, but by accident, my entire career has been in India. 17 years of running a company in India. 17 years later, with all the scars, setbacks and struggles, I still feel it was worth it,” said Subhash. Finally, in 2016, we both said no more travel and settled back to where we belong in peace.
Despite the challenges, Subhash said he stood tall and persevered. I don’t entirely know why,” he said. Subhash said he takes comfort in the fact that India has come a long way despite decades of socialist policies and political mismanagement. “There are some things which can never be quantified at a materialistic level,” said one user, while another added: “Thanks to my career travelled a lot across the world for work both me and my wife (a doctor), we could never ever adjust to the foreign lands, something always pulled us back to motherland.
