Visits by NRI friends and relatives is a big deal in India. Amusing at times when you joke about their accents and frustrating at other times when you tire of them bitching about the problems of our country and the constant comparisons they make with the "paradise" they live in. We've put together a list of things NRIs love and hate about visiting their motherland.

LOVE: Pampering by immediate relatives

Bring in the unconditional love, gifts, treats and all sorts of praise and affection!

LOVE: Enlightenment through yoga and spirituality

You know very well it’s not going to happen. But impressing your loved ones is just worth it.
