 Ok guys, this might b a very common topic in Sajha but I m here to put my own situtiona lol!!!  I have been planning to b back to Nepal eventually: but don't know when and with what requirements.... Being in the US more than 6 yrs, I have acquired following things:::  1) Did finish up my Undergrad in 4.5 yrs in Engineering field 2) Have good enough money to get marriage in the future  ( in average-) 3) have bought a land ( might build a house in the future there -) 4) Have around 30 lakhs in Bank Balance in Nepal I have a good vision - an idea which I think might b good start up tech business in Nepal and I m working on the project too in collaboration with an Enginer ( we work @ the same Company - he has 17 yrs of experience) hhmm I forget to mention - I have a decent job  I m convinced myself that... eventually life is very hard  and stressful in the US.... while we get older and older.... and m also convinced that there is no limitaion of the money that i can accumulate back home which can provide full security for myself and my family  for the rest of my life.... for this I have to have something running or working for sombody for everyday expenses....  in this situation.... i would like to get some opinions....  Thank you all and Happy New Year!!! I always love to hera good opinions.. ... Thank you all always....

I have been here for quite a while and I see myself staying for years to come. Having said that, I totally support your decision. If you can work hard, have ideas then you can make it anywhere. For many of us, raising our kids in US culture is a concern; this will no longer be the case with you. As long as you understand that it will not be easy and all the shortcomings associated back home, you will be fine. Just don't give up with one failure, keep trying and good luck.

If I were you, I would not think for a sec. I would definitely do it. If you ever feel like, you did the wrong thing, America will definitely welcome a genius like you. :)

 did you mange to save 30 lakhs in Nepal, buy land and save enough money for average marraige all while being on student visa in USA for 4.5 years?

 us_nep ..your plan sounds really good and glad to hear that someone wantd to go back. You should def go back but don't forget to take Nepal's political and economic situation in account before you make any kind of investment. Wish you success

shikhajha · Dec 29, 2011 1:22 AM

US_Nep, Like others have mentioned, from what you have posted in your initial post, the arguments for going back to Nepal seems quite strong. What are the reasons that you would even consider being in the States? In your circumstance, what are the positive reasons why you would stay in the States?

 this is the wrong place for your query. you should talk and seek the advise of your parents :) and just for the heads up, your 30 lakhs might be a huge sum to go shopping in nepal, but isnt much if ur thinking about getting married , building a house and starting your business.  best wishes :)

 pshrestha78: I think you didn't quite get me. Excuse me, if i have any typo or grammar error on my posting. I mean to stay is : its been more than 6 yrs I m in the STates and I did finish up my Engineering in 4.5 yrs and its been almost 2 yrs I been working in a good company with good pay. I started saving and sending money once i started the job in my Engineering field.  Thank you !!!

shikhaja:: Ya I been considering political and economial situation back home..... I m pretty sure its going to be too tough ... more than I can think.... but after all we are from there..... and I believe we should be able to adjust and do our work back there sonner or later.... but without even trying I can not say how I might move one.... I don't wanna regret in the future.... saying.... DAMN!! Wish I had implemented my idea.... bla.. bla..bla... I know... once I leave states.... i m have to bring lots of changes in my life.... but I have to be able to.. and I been making up my mind with regards to situations in Nepal.  Thank you!!!! 

US_NEP · Dec 29, 2011 11:49 AM

 homerji: thank you!!! ya... reason to stay over here would be... good job.. nice car... and all kinds of entertainetment and all... but not only these things are imp in life... money comes money goes..... eventually.... love and family and society is the most imp thing.... since I m making some financial backup for myself... i believe i shoul b good to move on ... Hope for the BEst :)

 manson:: My parents are not well educated but still they are very welcoming and they are ready to acept me to be in Nepal and see me doing some better in the country.... all they tell me is: We believe you know what you are doing... so we welcome your any decision that you think is wise and fruitful!!!!  That is a strong point from them and I am all good with that.  Another thing is : I have money for the marriage which is separate from 30 lakhs.... 30 lakhs is just cash balance which is my backup in case i plan to go back and start up something.  I have already bought the land-paid off...... I have put aside some reasonable money for marriage....  and in addision I have 30 in cash.... that;s what I mean...... and You are definatley right... if i had only 30 lakhs... i could have done the BEST shopping but forget about the rest..... but this is not the case my friend - thank you anyway and i wish a very best future to you as well ::)) 

US_NEP · Dec 29, 2011 11:59 AM

 us_nep Its always pleasure to  hear people planning to go back. After all we don't belong here and most of the people they don't realise that or just ignore the fact. To be honest with you, if I were you I would't even think twice ...I would just go back. I always dreamed to be in you situation. Trust me there are many more who would love to go back if they are in your situation.   What I know is that "U'll see what you wanna see". If you think about all political instability going on in our country then probably u'll never wanna go back. But there are several othere things that you need to consider before making any decission. Basking in a sun, reading paper in a Lazy saturday, laid back life, dashain, tihar, holi, family, friends, nice sunny weather, watching TV shows with family, these stuffs may sound nothing but I believe we need these things to be happy from inside.    Since you already have plans and vision and even back up for the hard times, you should be just fine. After all you have an engineering degree and a hand full of money too. If nothing works out you can still work as a teacher or rent your house to generate extra income. I dont think it would be really that hard to survive. Every one is doing it, why cant you. All it need is a state of mind. If you think  your strong enough then go for it. Our country need people like. If all the people like you wanna settle here then who gonna lead the next generation of our country. Lets not surrender our country to the hand of dirty politicians.   Just curious...which engineering field are you in??

rockey07 · Dec 29, 2011 1:13 PM

 Rockey07:: Thankx for your nice comments!!! I did Software Engineering. What about you???? ya- surviving should not be hard at all.. i m sure for that.... plus I do not wanna run after american life and money here as well.... god knows if I will regret in the future for leaving everything behind and going to Nepal (being hhmm so-call patriot... lol.. ) Besides being country lover,,,, i love the way of living, culture, society , family and i miss all that.... those days were the best then the days here now..... one way or other way.... we need to loose something.... so I m weigting right now.... if I decide.... I shall move to Nepal by August 2012.... lets see.... I m debating on every aspects and talking and gettings suggestions and opinions with my frens, relatives, family and myself and yes of course few of my best frens....  "Everything happens for a good reason".... this is waht i believe in... so I m not worries.... I m going with the flow :: Thank you guys!!!!!
