All you guys have great opinions ideas and thankfully no one has come out condescending as seen in other threads. 


@vivant: you have very good ideas but heres the thing:  We do skype, phone, fb etc but its nothing like talking face to face.  Lets say in yrs ahead Nepal is only 6 hours away not many of us can afford to fly there just for wknds plus until then its still many yrs away.  A lot of us have embraced the culture and lifestyle of US but like said before no matter how well ones diverse there is always a piece missing.  There are not many who can feel like walking New Road is like walking in Times Square.  That sense of belonging is always missed.


 


I agree luxury is addictive but you can always get used to the lifestyle once you realize that you feel whole again.  I also agree to my fren who says you cant have best of both worlds but we are only expressing our ideas here.  May be one of the sajhaites will have a thought provoking idea…..


The question is how can one feel I belong here and stick to it?  How can one not miss everything he grew up is changed, life is awesome here but then you realize as age passes you wanna go back to your roots.  You wanna give back but to pack up and leave is not as easy as it seems and when we talk to people in Nepal they say don’t ever think of coming back because in 2 ~3 yrs you will be frustrated and return to the US again…
