My Journey

I worked in USA and earned $ 1000 a month and 17 years later I work in India and earn $ 1700 a month.
I worked in USA at the age of 19 years and now I work in India at the age of 42 years.
I worked in USA After 12 grade schooling and now I work in India after BBA and MBA.
When I left work in the grocery shop in USA, I had no contact with people at work and enjoyed pep talks and gathering with friends, Now when I leave work in India, I am called at 11 pm in night to 6 am in the morning and if I don't pick the mobile I get fired.
In USA when I went down in the street people said Hi or Hello and blessed and heard first words I said. Now in India in my country when I go down in the street to shop people are rude and care not to hear / talk to you.
I was depressed in USA as day's were too long and I could barely see the light out of the tunnel of struggle for getting my Undergraduate degree. But when I saw the light and was ready to graduate and try getting into the work life in USA, my mother came to USA and told me life in India is better, I believed her words and came back to India, but am still to find space for my self in India after 17 years.

                                                Does life have a balance. Still yet for me to see.
