Personal stake

Hi Nita, welcome back! Thanks, I found these blogs very interesting too. I am not surprised you found racist blogs out there. The reason, I feel, these writers are different is because each one of them seems to have a personal stake in India -- they are trying to build a relationship with the society and culture, much like immigrants do. That makes their criticism more constructive and informative, and their praise more grounded. No?

Good list

Snigdha, this is an interesting list and I am bookmarking this page so I can check out these blogs. It is always interesting to know what foreigners living in India feel. However, once I came across a rather racist blog too! I guess one gets all kinds.

Nita

Definitely!

I used to never see "pay back agreements" (especially for executives) but lately it's becoming more popular. Yuck.

Thanks for your comment!

relocation

Ooh - relocation is never very good. I have relocated (ok ok, relocating does go that far in the UK as the country isn't THAT big!!) twice and both times I did not ask for nor expect help from the company, mostly because I work for the National Health Service!!

However, I would say that no matter what the company I would definitely negotiate a graded solution to paying the money back, I mean how could possibly be expected to pay it back if you eventually leave the company five, ten or even fifteen years later - you've already paid the company back in the job that you do(did)!
