The Reverse Brain Drain

NPR had a report this morning about what they called the "reverse brain drain." Basically, Indians going back to India. Here is a link to the audio file: Listen

There is the usual talk about the (x+1) syndrome and some inane stuff about this lady who is making her kids pick up their own toys and not ask their maids (yes, in plural) to do so. Why? Because, "You are American, and this is not how I am bringing you up." What caught my attention was the story of the family that moved from San Diego to Chennai (to a beach front bunglow, no less). The husband is somebody whose parents are settled in the US and was actually born and brought up in the US. Now that he has moved to India with his family, his parents who have remained in the US (with the rest of their extended family) are asking him when he is going to return! There are no easy answers in life, are there?
