I came across the following article in San Jose Mercury News today about how some US-born kids are coping with the change when their parents choose to work in India. This includes the expat Indians going back and the increasing numbers of non-Indians moving to India for work.

As a parent myself with a possibility of going back to India some day, it was very interesting for me to hear the perspective from the kids themselves. What’s more striking is the willingness of some of these kids to just accept that India and US have two very different cultures, and try not judge India based on those differences. Take it all in and focus on the positives – seems to be the best way to deal with it, and I hope these kids will be better off for this tremendous experience.
