So, before you avail online last minute flight tickets to India with us, find out what’s happening in the internet world.

NRIs Discussing The Perks Of Living In India vs The Benefits Of Living In The US

There are many posts abounding online discussing various benefits of living in these 2 countries. This has gone to the extent that it is going viral on social media, WhatsApp groups and communities, and other public platforms. Netizens are divided over taking the side of their home country or living abroad in peace. What do you think about this?

This is where it all began on X

As said by Viba Mohan, a 01 visa holder hailing from Bengaluru on X (formerly Twitter), “I have been bouncing between Bengaluru and America. After lots of overthinking (and probably too much coffee), I decided America’s going to be my new home…”.  She listed out all the benefits and elaborated on the perks of living abroad. Talking about outdoor safety, optimistic culture, vibrant tech scene, etc. she finally put an end to her dilemma.

What happened next wasn’t surprising

All resident and non – resident Indians on X divided themselves in 2 groups over her post. Keep reading for more reactions before you grab low airfare to India from USA with us!

One was commending her for her decision while the other group was ready to scold her to the depths of X’s hell. One of the remarks swamping her post was, “Choosing America is a rational and low risk decision. Choosing India is an emotional and courageous decision”.

Another one countering her decision was, “You did not come here on H1B. Neither you studied here or borrowed a loan, so naturally everything appears green and optimistic.”

More reactions from Viba Mohan’s post on X

Here is a list of reactions Viba Mohan’s post was getting flooded with on the social platform, X (previously Twitter).

“The US is good as long as you have a good job. U need to be extremely good to have your job. Craftsmanship can be experimented. Safety is a concern in the USA. Plus, you are always treated as a 2nd grade citizen. Divorce rate is high. Traffic is still a problem in San Francisco.”

According to the editor of Travel Beats, Sourav Agarwal, “The recent mass shooting that killed two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Georgia on 5 September raises eyebrows over Viba Mohan’s observation of safety in the US that she described as ‘living somewhere safer doesn’t just make you feel calmer — it makes you more productive too.’ The Apalachee High School shooting is the 30th mass killing incident in America alone this year, according to USA Today and The Associated Press. If she meant the safety of women’s dignity in the US, then her observation becomes a different debate altogether”.

Wrapping up with a necessary conclusion
