Conundrum about Indian family ties by nomadreid
This question is general, omitting particular names, but the situation is real. I am not sure how to deal with it, so any constructive ideas are welcome. First, this concerns a friend of mine, a woman who lives in the US, but has been a lot in ...
I am afraid you are seeing this case from western prospective, assuming the indian guy is willing, honest, but utterly helpless. The Indian guy is (hopefully) adult of age, and if he were willing, he would have contacted the lady even against his ... Read More

Hi, Living in a foreign country implies to discover its culture, to learn and master the cultural codes. How did you deal with that? Share with us your culture shock stories where you experienced a funny or awkward moment in India. What is ...
Culture shock is the same everywhere. You suddenly realise that you are nothing and your name is nobody and you have no clue how to live in this place. Tasks like paying bills or buying groceries become a challenging assignment, bureaucracy an ... Read More
Don't Drink the water and other digestive issues by northst
Hello! In my travels to India in the past (I live in the US) the rule was always bottled water only and no raw fruits or veg. I am now taking a long term assignment in Hyderabad and would like any information on how long it would take to adapt to ...
We were given the free RO water by the society RO mini-plant in the latest society where I was living. In the previous one, there was no RO plant, but the water providers were cheap and many (like some 15 or 30 INR for 20 liters of water, not ... Read More

Death hardly... there are lots of private hospitals and doctors seem to be highly professional there (I got my gallbladder removed in November in Noida). India is the center of "medical tourism". What can you really get from water ... Read More

I do prefer bottled or RO-processed water like most indians do. However I drank sugarcane juice, ate any fruits sold on the market after washing them with tap water, and no problem. Street food is 100% safe, as it's freshly boiled. Ah, yeah, I ... Read More
Newest Adventures In New Delhi, India by MyHindiHeart
If you haven't kept up with my blog, I'll tell you in summary what's happened these past few weeks. I spent a lot of time visiting doctors, as my stomach started hurting so much! I've been in India and I knew I could rule out ...
That's amazing! Two weeks ago I also had my gallbladder cut out in India! I am sure I had gallstones before, but they manifested for the first time in april 2013, when I visited India for the "first" time (I visited it before 10 years ... Read More
Money or Love? by edvilyn
Do you agree,that now a days, money is much preferable than love? I mean... people choose rich man rather than the one who love them... :/
For me, love does not fade from the lack of money. It motivates me to earn more money. Somewhere somehow. Achievement is fun, is it not? From the other side, a lot of free money without love, makes me frustrated. No purpose in life. Coupled with ... Read More

Not at all.... At least for me. Love can make me happy. Money, unfortunately, if available in plenty, can only make me addicted to useless shopping. Then, frankly speaking, I find having limited money quite fun.... and so that I have no money ... Read More
