Hi Ashu,
How are you doing? It's been a long while since you last visited this site.
As for the original theme of this thread (since it has now gone in a different direction), you yourself being a returne can may be give your thoughts. Of course you returned to Nepal few years back when the financial system in the US was still vibrant and the political and economical situations in Nepal were worse (with an assumption that they are slightly better now).
One of the main reasons why we question our motive to hang on in the US these days is the US economy. It is harder to get a job and immigration laws are getting stricter. So with not much prospect and lack of opportunity, we tend to wonder if it is even worth staying far away from our parents and struggle. For you this probably wasn’t the case since I mentioned earlier that you left the US quiet a few years back and you could have done very well here.

So why did you leave? What were your expectations when you decided to go back to Nepal? Did people criticize you as a failure in Nepal because you went back? Did they question you as “why the hell did you go to the US, if you were to come back so quickly?” And what was the reality? How were the job market, working culture and attitude in Nepal? And how do you think one should prepare if he is wondering about returning to Nepal?
