You are very lucky to be in China. If I were you I would stay put in China and raise my kids there. China will rule the world in 20 years and if your kids learn Mandarin well they will do very well in life. If I were you I would raise my kids in China, develop more expertise in Mandarin, network ...

In the initial calculations I made, I have never factored in a posible downgrade of US. This changes the whole picture. Dollar cant hold high for long. So the rate of dollar depreciation can be bumped up by 20-25 basis pt per year from my initial projections. Naturally this will cause higher ...

The problem in Greece is probably the tip of iceberg. EURO has been a bad idea from start and the future looks terrible. PIIGS will be bankrupt over next 5-10 years unless EURO is dismantled(mostly that is what will happen). The next candidate for bankruptcy will be probably UK and France. Japan I ...

There has been dramatic transformation in India over last 10 years or so and the changes ahead will be even faster. I have interacted with kids of all age group starting from about 3 years to 18 years (kids of relatives, friends etc). This is what I have noticed. The kids are much more advanced than ...

I have taken early retirement and returned to India about 3 years back. After living in India for nearly 3 years I am now convinced that it makes much more sense to r2i than settle in USA. The main reason I feel is the quality of education in India. The standard of education in India is really top ...

andro, I used to think exactly like you. I retired early in India but I am going to get married at a somewhat late age. I think money will be the last problem you will face. Indian society is very conservative and living single is still not looked upon well. So think very carefully whether you have ...

After my recent trip to USA I suddenly felt how horrible the traffic and infra situation is in Bangalore. The major metro's in India is in complete mess. Our town/city planners are very incompetent (I also suspect massive corruption and nexus with real estate mafia) and overall quality of life in ...

iwant2_r2i, Thanks a lot. In order to apply for REP one has to be in USA since biometrics is necessary. So about 6-8 weeks of stay in USA will be necessary. In an immigration forum I read in POE if an immigration officer thinks that a GC holder is coming after a long time then he/she is asked to see ...

I went to US for REP extension filing after 2 years just before REP expiry and had to face lot of questions by immigration officials. But I got REP extension. iwant2_r2i any idea if a GC holder can be asked to face immigration judge or denied entry if he/she enters US with valid REP? Can you confirm ...

rigmarole,

Thx a lot. Somehow I am not very comfortable with the transformer idea as I
have been told it may have adverse impact.

Which speakers will be better than Bose?

PS: Just curious why rigmarole as id of all things?
