State: living, citizenship and moving between India and abroad

This tag collects real questions people ask about their state of life — nationality, whether to stay abroad or return home, how life changes in London or the USA, and even simple comforts like food and local services. You’ll find clear, practical answers to decide what to do next and how to make everyday life work better.

Citizenship and documents — what actually proves nationality

A birth certificate proves where and when you were born. It doesn’t automatically prove Indian nationality. For proof you usually need a passport, an Indian citizenship certificate, or government-issued identity documents like an Aadhaar in certain contexts. If you face a legal issue, check official guidance from the relevant authority — embassy, citizenship office, or local registrar — because rules change depending on parents’ nationality, dual status, or naturalization.

If you were born abroad or to non-Indian parents, collect any supporting documents early: parents’ passports, visa records, hospital records, and old certificates. These make citizenship claims clearer and speed up bureaucratic steps.

How to decide: stay in the USA or move back to India?

Start with five quick questions: What does your visa or work status look like? Where are the job and income prospects better for your field? Who needs you close for family reasons? What lifestyle do you want day-to-day? And where will your mental health be stronger? Score each question 1–5, add the scores, and compare. This simple tally helps turn feelings into facts.

Also think short-term vs long-term. A better salary now might not beat long-term stability, family ties, or better health care access. Talk to people who already made the move and ask about surprises they didn’t expect — housing costs, commute times, or how easy it is to find familiar food.

Life in London or the UK: strong public services, diverse communities, but higher rent and changeable weather. Life in the USA: larger opportunities in some tech and research fields, but healthcare can be costly. India: lower living costs in many cities and stronger family support, but infrastructure and bureaucracy can vary by place.

Finding a life coach in Mumbai: ask for referrals, check online reviews, confirm qualifications and approaches, and book a short trial session. A 30–45 minute trial will show whether the coach understands your goals and communicates in a way that motivates you.

Want to cook good Indian food? Keep a basic spice box: cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili, garam masala, mustard seeds, and hing. Learn two foundations — a simple onion-tomato gravy and basic tempering (tadka). Once you master those, transform them into dal, curry, or quick vegetable dishes. For snacks, start with easy recipes like masala chai plus homemade samosa filling or quick pani puri-style chaat using ready-made puris.
