Why Is Choosing So Hard?
Just five more years, until the promotion, until the Green Card, until the kids finish school. Five becomes eight. Eight becomes twelve. Every trip home leaves a sting.

Why R2I Fails
It fails when decisions are built on panic, nostalgia, or romanticized memory instead of preparation. Panic decisions made from one hard month abroad. Families misaligned on daily reality. Memory standing in for due diligence. The honeymoon period turns into instant regret.

Reality of India
The India you left ten years ago no longer exists. Digital convenience and rapid growth, alongside pollution, friction, and a shifting cost of living. Evaluate it as it is now, not as memory has preserved it.

How to Decide
Stop relying on guesswork. Calculate your true financial survival rate. Plan concretely for aging parents. Manage US tax and retirement assets before you move. Set a family-agreed timeline, not a someday.
