Moving to Dallas

[HarHarMahaDev]

Planning to move to Dallas from a mid sized Midwestern city.

Still unsure if it's a prudent decision!

Looks like you like Chiranjivi’s dancing. So a good decision.

No state tax in Texas, so you might save a bit more.

Enjoy Dull-arse .. i heard like more than 100 desi restaurants in Dallas alone.. and another 200 in Who’s-shtun (Houston)

Well...this midwestern city that I currently live in, doesn't really offer much in terms of living.

Dallas seems to be a thriving metro, with tech jobs growing rapidly. Any insight?

^^ isn’t Dallas overgrown? I mean I heard of IT boom and jobs like 10 yrs back.

Every Gult opened a consultancy in Texas because of no tax like 10-15 yrs back. More jobs but also too many people to take those jobs.

Well Midwest has not had any kind of boom at any time.

One Macu origin guy says that his daughter works in Costco in dull arse and people keep asking her if she is Indian. When she replies ‘I am American’, some reply back ‘you should not forget your heritage’

If you are a non-Indian in Dallas, you have to be mentally prepared for some racism.

They are everywhere.

Why I say so is.. Houston Rockets bought this hot NBA rookie from NY Knicks around 2011 (shooting 3 pointers at will) .. being Chinese they thought he will bring a lot of involvement from the large Chinese community in Houston.

The 23-year-old Harvard grad is the first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent to play in the NBA, and he's drawn comparisons to the NFL's Tim Tebow because of his devout Christianity and unlikely success.

Wasn’t there a Cut Surd (Sardar with Cut hair) playing for NBA.

Yes, he hardly played actually.. Satnam Singh .. there's a documentary on him on Netflix. Don't think he has a future in NBA, last I heard he was playing NBA's D league.. other than height he doesn't have much in terms of talent.

did a bit of research on his recent whereabouts..

looks like ended up in Kanedda .. just like any Punjabi worth his salt.
