Hello my friends,

This is for everyone, not only NRIs.

How do NRIs from different part of the world feel when they come to India for a long stay? How do you guyz adjust to India? Specially those who left India before 5 yrs of age, and those who were born abroad. For those who married a girl from their 'NEW HOMELAND (abroad)" and those who come back to marry from India?

 

If two people is willingly/ready to accept live together and if they are happy to face any situation then what the problem wherever they stay...

How do Indians feel about us NRIs? 😆 ... What do you think of us (your secret thoughts)? What are the feeling, and adjustment issues with us?  --What to feel buddy,same like other NRI ,Every NRI leave their country to live or help their family...so without adjestment whats life, so everybody does that😊

Also, its very interesting to know what the girls from India feel when a marriage proposal comes for them from an NRI? What is the girls comfort level? Does she feel confident about him (specially his foreign past)? Is she ready to face whatever comes in a foreign land? --no idea

Again, how do the Indian family members feel about their bride from abroad (that is, when one of your NRI relative/grandson/brother marries from abroad)? What can be the adjustment issues or feelings?

I think when the time of transfer/migration ,starting stage everybody feel little nervous...

Well I am already married in the above category (the last para, right above this one). --any problem?😉

However mera DOST arahaa hai idhaar arranged marriage karne 😆😳! --Gr8

Please do contribute in detail. It will be very interesting. I myself left India when I was 2. Right now in India for a year or more... for the construction of our Delhi property is on its way 😳. I dunno, maybe I will leave, maybe no. Depends. But I am always curious about my Indian friends.

(I dont drink alcohol and I've never been a flirt or party animal 😆 - dunno why I said that 😆)-- Thats soo girlish...😆

Well, from what i've heard, families would be happy that a guy got a proposal from a girl who is an NRI...the guy could now go abroad. "

I guess there was a misinterpretation here. I meant when the NRI boy married a FOREIGN GIRL. As we call "Gori" (though I would like to call a foreign girl, but still to make things more clear😊). I meant, what can be the adjustment issues, or feelings... there.

But I agree with you on the "Indian girl for an NRI" issue. All Indian girls are surely not dying to reach a foreign soil (I want to believe that myself really).

As for your description about visiting India. Well I can understand :). I have been in Sweden since I were a little more than 2. I came India for a month or two but very rarely, 2 or 3 visits my entire life. Now I will be here for a year with my wife (who is Swedish). In my sister's place 😊, who married here in India 😊.

Oh okay...i was gonna ask you if thats what you meant but i just went with what i thought.

Well, i think most family members in india might be upset if their guy relative in Abroad married a non-indian girl AKA a gori. But i think they'll get over it...especially if they meet the girl and like her :)
I know a guy who married a gori & he took her india once & his family members all loved her!

But i think that if the guy lives with his parents abroad and they dont care if he marries a gori, than ultimately thats what counts :)

& yea i live in US :D

@Believe:

I was talking about marriage, not live together. Marriage itself means to make a valid contract between two person to live together..I am not saying to live with people unmarried. Do whatsoever the society wants to be done, but don't take it as the whole. That is just the periphery... go beyond it. Infact I am not in favor of live together personally. I could if I wanted, but I didnt. Cos marriage is more permanent... people think its secure,after people can rely on it. In old age it will be helpful..so its natrual people use secure way to handle others.However, I dont mind others. Everyone have their own life :) --Ok

About my married life: No problems 😉-- 😊 

About my friend: Yeah gr8 😆 ... kis batkismaat lardki bechaari uske palle paregi ... 😆 ...

Whats girlish in being abit Sanskaari 😊?-- So you mean if anyone do Drinks/party/flirt  they dont have sanskaar!!?  ....keep the gr8 thoughts!😆

I love my India.-- 👍🏼
