I am a frequent reader of SAJHA.COM, however, i don't usually post any comments. Today, I am compelled to post my thoughts on this thread because it's somewhat similar to what i have done and what i used to think when i was in United States.

I lived in United States from 2001 to 2008, completed my Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. Similar to the story of nice_guy_with_MBA, I always wanted to come back to Nepal for good and be with my Family. I used to miss my Sister and my parents so much that i had to come back to Nepal for good. I had some of my relatives in managerial position in some private Banks in Kathmandu and i was assured that i will have a Bank Job as soon as i return to Nepal. I returned to Nepal and started working as an Assistant Manager for a year than became a Branch Manager.
Am i happy ? How much I make ? How's the life-style ?

First of all, i am answering this from my all honesty. Yes, I am really happy (100 times more happy now in Nepal). I've a nice job. I make around Rs.55,000- Rs.75,000 per month now with all benefits and bonuses. I also have opened a small business, ie. a Family Restaurant in Kathmandu and it's been really success. I've hired a Manager for my Restaurant and he gets decent salary and i make profit as well. Whenever i am free on weekends (Saturdays), i hang out in my Restaurant, have couple of drinks with my wife.
Now i am 30 yrs old and i got married 2 years ago. I've been very successful. When i was in US, i used to think, when will i get married ? when will i have a nice family ? how will i bring my wife to US ? and all that status problems. I always used to think, i want to have a small family when i am still young, ie, when i m under 30 yrs old. Now i've everything that i dreamt about. I've my wife , a newborn child, and no problem of being in status and counting (30-90 days of unemployment in OPT).

I hang-out with my wife in Nagarkot sometimes and visit Singapore, Malaysia, Nainitaal (I love hill stations) and Goa. I also bought a nice car, it cost me about Rs 38 lakhs but i've financed it through my Bank which is not bad. The best part is, I am with my Mom, Dad, Sister and my Family. We have a nice house in Kathmandu and paying rent is not an issue. Also, we have some lands Outside KTM.
There's always solution to the problems that some of the user mentioned.
How's other lifestyle ?
You'll be amazed to see the lifestyle in kathmandu these days. Not showing off, but my wife loves to Bhat-Bhateni for our shopping (Not much difference than shopping at Walmart). It's been amazing after i came back Home.

Good Luck to you !!
