" My son works with the Govt here. He is a civil engineer. My daughter also works at an IT firm, she got married a few years ago and has a daughter. I got my parents with me after I settled down. They are also here with me. Its good to stay in this country as long as you have a job. You dont have to struggle much. I do miss India, afterall I was born there.But after years of staying here, I dont feel comfortable going back. I have seen my relatives there struggle even with jobs. No matter how much money they make, they all struggle for everything.Waha chain nahin milta.... ...I am not going to charge you the meter. You are from India. It feels nice to talk to someone from my country"
