- An Indian-origin man who moved back with his wife after 25 years in the US wrote that chaotic urban traffic is the single factor discouraging many financially comfortable NRIs from returning.
- The X post crossed 7.6 lakh views and attracted hundreds of comments, elevating the discussion into mainstream coverage.
- He contrasted disorder on Indian roads with lane discipline in places like Chicago, saying jams there still operate with order.
- He said friends consider returning for ageing parents, more affordable healthcare, and access to domestic support such as a cook, driver and maid.
