I stay in Rural ontario on the lakes.
Also, if you don't mind, what is your occupation?
Do you run a farm or homestead of your own?

While trying to get my PCC for the visa from the Mumbai Police HQ near Crawford Mkt., the policeman on duty straightway told me to pay 3,000 INR for same day delivery, or wait for a month. I said I will wait for a month, and subsequently got the PCC's after 1 1/2 months.
Wow! I admire you.

On a superficial level, and from the IT perspective, India seems to be making rapid progress, but go down to the basics, and you will feel that our basic infrastructure is still a mess. For e.g. visit any Govt. run hospital, and you will see what I mean. Dogs, cows, and touts have a free run in these places; the lives of the common people in India have not improved much, and corruption/pollution is increasing day-by-day.
Coming back to the main question. I think I've decided on the conditions to move permanently back to India. When the income disparity between the classes have been reduced(for a cpl of generations) to the levels we see in North America. Then, I would probably move back...even if I'm making the 10-20% less, in India, than I'm making now.
what do you mean? income disparity between the classes? What do you see in north america? Just curious..
In Delhi it takes just 6 hours to get PCC fr PP office. one has to deposit INR 300 and passport,nothing beyond it.
High speed internet is no more a luxury here ..
Electricity is at times scarce but at the same time snow ploughing problems r not here .

the huge divide that is in India, between the haves and have nots. This divide is not that glaring in the west. My logic is that if this gap is narrowed in India...it would lead to better standard of living...less corruption, more cleanliness etc. Sipping martinis in an exclusive enclave while people live in plastic sheets , a stones throw away...is not exactly going to improve the 'standard of living' in any country. You are going to have to go through the same environment(albeit for limited time) the have-nots have to deal with everyday.
As long as one part of the population live like they are in the west but the other part live no better than 20 yrs ago, none of the problems that haunt India will go away.
I think the same logic applies western societies(where such problems exist tho on a very limited scale compared to India), and at large, to the world too.

This divide will be there in any developing nation .And I think we all r part of humanity seen on a macro level .Just by switching places reality is not going to change.Whole world is considered as one place to live.

thats the reason why I dont want to go back...or rather when the divide is smaller is when I'll go back. Till then I prefer the ocean for insulation.

this is what I meant when I said earlier...and in other words:
Its not WHAT we are running away from...but HOW we do it.
AND
... some(like me) are more comfortable with the insulating effects of the oceans instead of gates, walls, barbed wire and tinted glass . In that sense we are all the same...irrespective of where we are.
