Valid points there ninja_turtle. But I'm at an advantage. I only need to go back to Bombay once a month and that too can be done on the weekends. And most of my work can be done online. I road test cars and write about them in one of the leading automobile magazines in India. Since ours is a monthly publication, I don't have to be at the office all the time. Another thing is that my employer knows about this and has been kind enough to let me pursue this career while I work for them.
So like I said, if I go abroad, I won't be at the liberty of returning to Bombay once a month.
