I’ve never really thought about it this way. I worked in the UAE for about 1.5 years, but it never felt like a dramatic shift because there’s such a large Indian community there, it almost felt like a second home.
It would be interesting, though, to settle in a country with a truly different language and culture, somewhere that pushes you further outside your comfort zone.
Thanks for reading Dhaval! Agreed that the to and from matters a lot. I find the further away from your own culture / comfort zone the more perspective you get; even on where you come from.

So relatable, even I havent moved. My sister has. And I can feel her challenge through your words
This means a lot. You don’t have to move to understand the weight of it; especially when it’s someone close to you. Thanks for sharing!
