Recently one of my senior colleagues frantically called me up from abroad and told me that he is coming back to India with his family. I was surprised – not because he is coming back but because of the reason that he had labored hard to get to the States and was doing well, so what made him feel like returning to homeland now all of a sudden. Later I found that he was finding it difficult to manage his children. Born in a foreign country, they had slowly started adopting the culture of the land. This transformation was not liked by the couple who could barely find time to teach their children the right type of values. After numerous efforts and failures, they decided to come back.
