For many of us who came to America, the dream was simple: better education, safety, opportunities, and a brighter future for our children.
But after 10, 20, or even 30 years, many immigrant parents quietly ask themselves a difficult question:
"நாம இதை எதிர்பார்த்தோமா?"
Our children grew up in a different culture, with different values, different expectations, and sometimes different dreams. Is this good? Is it bad? Or is it simply the reality of immigration?
In this video, I reflect on the hidden tradeoffs of the American dream, parenting across cultures, identity, belonging, and what many NRI families discuss privately but rarely say out loud.
This is not about blaming America.
This is not about blaming our children.
This is about understanding the choices we made and the world our children inherited.
If you are an NRI parent, immigrant family, student, or someone considering life abroad, I hope this conversation helps.
