Weighing the Risks: The Hidden Dangers of Raising Children in India As parents, our paramount concern is the safety and well-being of our children. My family's recent harrowing experience in #Hyderabad India has prompted me to share a crucial perspective for those indian origin parents considering raising their children in India, where safety regulations might not meet the standards you expect. Recently, my son, a US citizen being raised in India to foster close family bonds, suffered life-threatening injuries due to severe negligence at his grandparents' apartment complex owned by Vamsiram Homes / VAMSIRAM BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS PRIVATE LIMITED. The lack of basic safety measures like fencing and warning signs led to a devastating fall from ground floor podium to parking cellar, resulting in a dire medical emergency, including a Grade 3 Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI), kidney trauma, and multiple fractures. His fight for life in an ICU for over a week has been a grim wake-up call to the stark realities of systemic shortcomings. The eleven days he spent in the ICU were the most painful and terrifying of our lives. Every second was drenched in fear and uncertainty. The sight of my son, so small and fragile, connected to a maze of tubes and wires, underscored the precariousness of our situation. Sleep evaded us as we hung on to every small sign of improvement, each moment praying for his recovery. This incident exposes a broader issue: the perilous gaps in safety standards and enforcement in some overseas environments. Builder more focused on selling apartment than maintaining basic safety standards, lack of proper audits or corruption by Greater Hyderabad Muncipal Corporation before giving out occupany certificates are concerning issues. As much as living in India can offer enriching cultural experiences and family bonding, it also comes with potential risks that are often overlooked until tragedy strikes. With powerful builders such as Vamsiram involved, we can hardly expect any legal action taking place against them. For those contemplating a similar path, I urge you to consider not just the cultural and familial benefits but also the infrastructure and safety standards of the country. It's crucial to thoroughly investigate and continually advocate for the safety and security measures in any living situation abroad, ensuring that the environment is conducive to health and safety for our most vulnerable.

When making decisions, it's crucial to consider all perspectives. Just like tossing a coin can result in heads, tails, or even landing on its edge with no clear outcome, selective listening can lead to disastrous choices. Remembering the story of Shurpanakha and Ravana from Ramayana (Indian mythology) serves as a reminder that without understanding all sides, decisions can go astray. Analyzing situations from every angle is key to well-thought-out decisions. #leadership #decisionmaking

Very interesting analysis. Netflix differentiates itself by not yielding to the pricing play (except for the recent perfectly timed price drop !) in India and achieving its strategic vision of content localization. Timing of its entry into Indian market coinciding with the boost in mobile data usage in 2016 and the fast growth in mobile data adoption in this market has worked in its favor. The huge potential and fast pace of growth in internet and mobile data adoption will continue as one of the driving factors for Netflix’s growth in Indian market.

Honesty, Integrity & Trust, are keys to successful relationships For any relationship to flourish and get nurtured properly, the fundamentals of the engagement need to be strongly managed. They are Honesty, Trust, Reliability and integrity in the overall process of engagement. with US the trust and reliability are major concerns areas for India, always. Unless they address this first and effectively try to build it strongly. we will always have this issue. They need to come out of this Cold War era 2 world approach, West & East policy, times have gone through tremendous change, UN must rewrite their core policies and kill the old colonial, white supreme policies. Then only we can see some progress and have an equal balance in engagement.
