What are the common activities included for a desi kid. I am assuming here that it is 250$ per month for one kid.

desipardesi, Thanks for the update. I was looking at dallas, tx as cost of living is much lower then NJ/NY and weather is warmer/hot.

[QUOTE=samv;424562]A question in reply to #91 Why do people (by which I mean upper middle class) buy health insurance in India?
