Now, I understand the reasons as to why my parents wanted to raise us far away, not saying I would do the same (or not do the same)…but I understand the positives from it now.

What were your parents’ reasons? Was it because they felt that there’s a tendency to be nosy, maybe more judgmental, etc among desis? One of my friends…moved to Canda and she once said that a few desis around you is not so bad…but too many desis is not a good thing. I thought that was interesting. And in a way I can understand it. There are aspects of our culture that I like…and there are some that I can’t stand.
