I was talking to some neighbors and many complained over lack of help.They keep saying driver,maid etc etc is there
I agree there are many wonderful things about India but in my heart I love doing. Things on my own.Sometimes yes it can get hectic due to kids schedules
Work but one does not realize how much we multitask here like a pro.
Everytime I go to India the maid is a headache with her own timings etc.Unless u give a good sum
But honestly not everyone can be reliable and they drop out just like that.
Secondly I feel even retired men and women in abroad are active.They have good access to walking areas plus when they do housework on their own..it keeps them physically and mentally active.My aunts back in India are so tired despite all the househelp even in their fifties.
Another thing is as much as we talk about gym and workout..I feel people across all ages do more workout abroad that in India the ratio is relatively high abroad.Due to weather, office travel time or schedule of maid or kids maybe the ratio is less.
Again I love driving in the US and I would not enjoy driving in India in the traffic.I feel drivers are more of a necessity than the luxury.
However when it comes to friendships,socializing,functions,vibes and theme restaurants India is fantastic! Nothing to beat that feel!
So what are your opinions about help when it comes to abroad vs India?
