Geography...pffttt See what happens when you've been out of school for 15 years :lol:

Mansi · Mar 23, 2006

Is it actually a safe place to live. I have a co-worker who maybe opening up a sales office there, and has asked me if I would like to work for him.

I'm all for new opportunities, but the present situation makes me nervous. What's it like over there? Seriously.

hey mansi, i have a question....

here in america, we have arrived at the point where almost all families have two incomes...is it that way over there, or do the women have the luxury to stay home with the kids.....?

It is most definitely safe. People who have settled here from overseas have loved the 'color, the culture and the people' (remembering a quote from someone) . There is really no need to be nervous. People are friendly and you have every thing here that you may have there. Be adventurous.. take the jump

and as such there is no 'present situation' to worry about

btw what area are we talking about?

Kashmir is one place i have to go someday :lovey:

Ok in today's day and age most families have two incomes... in smaller towns and villages maybe not... My mom works as well and has been since she could... My grandmom worked for long but my great grandmom never did and had some 10 kids
Traditionally women in indian families were not supposed to work as such and they had the luxury to stay home(whether or not the husband could make ends meet or not, it used to solely be the husbands responsibility to manage the household needs) play house with the kids

but times and nees have changed as have attitudes towards women in a working environment. Hope that solves some of it.

Maybe daniel has something to add in here:mrgreen:

Many of the images that I've seen are of dry/dusty/desert/poverty type images. Is this the true India, or is there a prevalance of modern things as well?
