Guys! There’s a spammer replying to all comments here saying you’ve won a giveaway. That is not me. I’m not holding any giveaways currently. Please DO NOT give your address or money to anyone claiming to be me.

[@sreejaraveendran]

I did receive a reply too. Glad I checked your insta feed to cross check the claim. Anyhow, you never mentioned a giveaway in your video too...

[@shikhasharma8831]

[@arshaap2693]

Born in India, raised in Oman, few years in India and back in UAE. Not sure which I can call home. I try to make wherever I live feel like home now. I can never forget the broken hearted girl I was..crying while exiting the country I called home after my family visa expired. You're right, only the ones in Middle East can understand and relate.

[@Ahilyawith2A]

All will be great 🤝

[@namrata2807]

I moved from Mumbai to Dubai just 3 months ago. Missing India very badly. Agree India has its problems, but it is still the best and it is where my heart will always be.

[@hameedhaabdulnasser2009]

Once u reach one year of living in Gulf u will not go back to India.

[@dianacharles1180]

Soon ul like it here.... stick.around ... Dubai is a lil like Amchi Mumbai

[@mylilartsoul]

I think I am the only one here with the different perspective... I am an Tamilian and moved to Oman after my marriage. Those 4.5years had been an absolute heaven. I had more friends, learnt what independence really means after being in a joint family where you can't even go to a nearby shop without informing your family members. Enjoyed my life with my child and husband, travelled alot and was absolutely devastated to know that we had to come back to the same old bubble. Its been 2 years now and I just can't stop thinking about how much fun i had in muscat and just can't wait to go back to middle east. I don't mind which city its gonna be but I just wanna run away. Pls bless me☺

Hi Jovita! I used to live in Kuwait until 2005, and then moved back home to Goa. I relate so HARD with all your points, especially the Diaspora issues. As a former Gulfie kid, the whole "neither here nor there" especially when conversing in my mother tongue becomes quite prevalent. 🤣

[@lifearoundwesternghats]

Goekar spotted

[@rupakhanna9282]

Jovita your video was truly on point. After having lived in the US for nearly three decades, I was apprehensive when we had to move to India, but it was unfounded. I made wonderful friends, traveled, had house help, felt like I belonged. What can I say about the food, the jewelry, the clothes- it was magnificent. I was happy never to have to wear jeans again. My life in the US was hectic, I felt isolated, I resented being told to “ do what makes you happy” if I ever asked for an opinion or just needed clarification. I also felt like many other first generation immigrants that I truly did not belong despite being educated there, having a successful career and all the other trappings. Our stint in India is over and we are back in the US but boy do I miss waking up to tea served in bed, piping hot samosas, friends who dropped by, disasters at the hair salon, chaotic traffic, the song of the birds, the colors around me, the festivals, the markets, the warmth of people, the feeling of belonging. I wish you great success in your new home- may you find love, happiness, good health and contentment.

[@GauriV297991]

Well said 👏

[@justjan1]

I'm Bengali and born and raised in the UK and never left... The UK unfortunately has never felt like my home. I 100% can relate, and I also felt so much more at home in Bangladesh, India and Nepal even though my Bengali isn't great just simply because you understand people and felt understood.

[@lolaloliepop]

not Indian or Middle Eastern but I've been following you for years for how relatable you are (and great tutorials) - but this one takes the cake! I was raised by Polish grandparents (very extremely Polish upbringing....but 60y behind so never quite Polish enough for Poland, but not American enough for Americans), and then lived in California but ages 11-13ish lived in St Lucia (Caribbean), then went back to California, then off to Norway, then East Coast USA (which might as well be a different country culturally I found out), then back to California.....never quite fit in anywhere as a "third culture kid" as they're saying these days, but finding roots somewhere is so refreshing.

[@smithaviswanadhan3679]

Hi Jovi.... Loved your video, I too was a gulf Malayalaee... Came back to India along with my parents and settled down in Kerala 😁... It was like learning everything from scratch how Kerala works, how to get things done, taxes 😂.... Etc etc... But I love it here now.. support system is fantastic, healthy living and best of all not being treated as second citizens and freedom here ❤️❤️❤️.... Love you 💗 and your videos ... It's so much fun... 🥳

[@SarbariSen]

This make up needs to be part of the change of your earlier make up few years ago. This is so sophisticated, so pro!

[@atifabdullahnasiri9911]

I can see that you have hidden all the pain behind the smile of yours. I can completely relate to how you feel . I stayed in Dubai for 35 year , I was a 3 year old kid and had to come to India due to my husband's kidney failure .it's not easy moving from place to place with a 6 year old kid not knowing anyone with even one relative to go to or someone who you can relate to . My husband passed away this January , Now it's just me and my son . I have my dad here and that's it ............. I too don't wear jeans , hair it fried , skin is all 50 shades of brown , and don't get me started with how my feet look . God has been kind to us for keeping us safe and just waiting to start something for our future .

[@positivelyhappymom3238]

Totally agree with your point about being treated as second class citizens to all south Asian people in the Middle East. My sister lives in Qatar and I know exactly what you mean. How can they treat people like that especially when they have to rely so much from all the hard working people from India, Bangladesh , nepal etc . Growing older I realized that living in your own country is so soul satisfying.

[@jennifershakira409]

Hi Jovita, just watched your video. I'm from India, but lived most of my life in Newzealand & Australia. My kids were born and raised in Newzealand....I can relate to some of the experience you had in Kuwait. My kids faced lot of racism & discrimination in Newzealand. My husband is from Kerala & I'm from Mangalore.

[@mvwkout5714]

Love the openness and vulnerability of your video. So appreciated. You look amazing- please please tell us what makeup you are using.looks so good on you.

[@SM-ml5ku]

I’m so happy Atleast someone is talking about this now.. have been living in oman for 25 years and shifted back to india .. Even though the country has given me a great lifestyle l have realized after my school years and ones I started working there ,that how much ever we contribute to the economic growth of that country by working even harder than most ppl there even their own nationals we always get that second class citizen treatment.. it’s insane why they invite people to their country for work but always put restrictions such as noc for job changes and most employers don’t even provide that and most people are stuck at the same job forced to work under the same salary especially considering the cost of living there.. it’s just not fair.. we deserve to get atleast an equal treatment and opportunity for growth if we are contributing to the growth of an economy of a particular country… thanks alot for bringing this up 👍

[@bluemush86]

Thanks for making this video, I am one of those weird combo mixes so I also struggle with even deciding if I should visit my other country of birth. I could relate to a lot of the things you shared in todays video. But it also encouraged me to say yes go, there are so many lovely things to look forward too. I might just make a trip to get that sense of I fit here, i dont need to feel weird. Keep making videos, sick of the short reels everywhere which just steal ur attention but don’t give you solid content. Will continue to support your channel jovita.

[@roshnipeter5355]

You are so right about the salons in Kerala....I went to a salon long back and they popped my pimples on my forehead saying that they're whiteheads and it won't recurr, I refused and still they went ahead and I ended up having red bumps ,I still got small bumps on my forehead....No good salons where you can get a nice haircut. Went to one last year and they ruined my hair .....We need a regulatory body to monitor the services

[@susanmathew2581]

What is your suggestion for pigmentation and clear skin, Jovita chechi!!

[@gemsree5226]

Lazer hair removal at home devices. Have you used them? Could you do a review.?

[@DaughterOfNamjin]

I’m mixed Japanese and Indian born and brought up in India cure toy living in Japan. My life has changed drastically after moving to a different country. The culture, food, language, and makeup to clothing everything is different. And i’m trying my best to fit in lmao

[@jignajoshi8687]

yup its frustrating to be in a place where you are not fully indian and not a citizen of wherever you are living your life. btw living in UAE. its not happening to be resident but not citizen. i enjoy in india more but still i love my home city at the moment. its so confusing sometimes. i can understand your point.

Good to see your in your best avatar of chit chatty Jovi. I am glad u are finally comfortable here in India.

[@MrJovitageorge]

I ammmmm! Thanks my love!

[@hianjana]

Oh the clothing part is super relatable. I moved to Trivandrum from Bangalore for 8 months and jeans went out of my closet right away! And I had to move to cotton and linen. No more polyester for me! And of course anything beyond knee length is unbearable and sleeveless is the best for Kerala!

[@nidas3996]

Hey jovi ! I have oily skin and can I use plum grape seed& sea buckthorn oil

[@MrJovitageorge]

Yes, just 1 drop at night

[@sarigachellissery]

On my engagement, they used up 3 cans of hairspray to keep it straight. And curled a certain way. The force is very strong with humidity in Kerala.

[@12z34z]

Loool! They used so much hair gel on my hairdo for my wedding reception that I had a migraine throughout and when I finally unrolled my hair afterwards, clumps of gel just fell out! The force is Kylo-Ren level.

[@dolly9]

I settled in India too after 10 years, used to stay in Kuwait. It was very difficult too, weather, layering of clothes ( cardigan). Food yea bread, feta cheese, chips ( pufak). My pigmentation reduced too. All ur points are so true.

[@sumansagar7551]

Thank you for this video Jovita all your points are so relatable & true currently I’m in kuwait since 2016 I have born and brought up in Bangalore to live in Kuwait is not at all easy requires lot of sacrifices I don’t think💰 is everything when your not living your life so happy for you & you have not made the wrong decision settling back in India & living your life that’s more important❤️I’m waiting too to be back in my lovely city🫶

[@vinithanandakumar5458]

So relatable being raised and now working in Kuwait. In Kochi now on a long break after 3 years and I can’t imagine going back to the Gulf life! There’s nothing there that sparks joy for me there anymore. the lack of good quality education for my kid is the most worrying bit!

[@shreyabangera9349]

Thank you so so much for making this video😭😭😭😭I loved for 22 years in Oman, Muscat and moved back to India, Mumbai in 2017 and I miss Oman every single day of my life and I just wanna go back home🇴🇲❤ I was raised in Oman by my parents, my dad spent 35 years working in Oman, mom was a homemaker and we had a beautiful life there , such a big house 🏡 and lavish car such beautiful roads.. Oman is such a peaceful and clean country I miss it sooooo much In shaa Allah will go back soon🇴🇲❤️❤️❤️🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️

Super relatable video Jovi!

[@gahanaclive128]

Lived in Kuwait for 4.5 years and shifted to India before 7 months. I can totally relate what all you said. India is the best. Just being in India makes you happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only point that I would like to add is the greenery. I took it for granted until I landed in Kuwait. Couldn't cope with the desert everywhere. Now I am relaxed when I look outside. India rockzzz!!!

[@austere_kore]

Glad that you finally found your balance. For Sushi I'll say, try it from other parts of India. Like you can try that in Mumbai or Kolkata. Like places with Asian restaurants run age old asian people. By that I mean the East Asians. Maybe you can finally find your Sushi. And about Salmon, well Idk. But there are a lot of smoked fishes which are Parsi dishes or Anglo Indian dishes. So may be you can other variety of smoked fish.

[@manimanaswini2478]

This is soooooo relatable. Not with the NRI stuff but with the living in a humid place. Like picking out clothes based on the right material. I have curly hair too and I was conscious of my hair for most of my life. It's been a little bit over a year that I've started doing the curly girl method and I've fallen in love with how my hair looks. I don't even remember the last time I straightened my hair. It's still a task to manage it and most of the time I have it up in a bun.

[@sunvavachi]

I feel this one! When I am in tropical areas of India and US, it's the same issue frizz! I use a lot of oil serums to help it.

Omg! Word! "Where is home" is such a philosophical question now. Kuwait was home. Now feel like a nomad. And you said "Panadol"..hahah. nice. Relate so much to all of this. But hair was so much better in Kuwait!! The moisture in Kerala is crazy for hair. And I misssss soo misses good food! Gosh.

I can understand the NRI kid lives in middle east feeling. I bought up here, I’m 27 now and when I go to India I’m not enough Indian to my cousins and somehow it’s hard for me staying in Kerala. Saloon, food, travel, AC it’s very hard to adjust with. The taxes, price difference everything I have no clue😂 PS: I want to know the lipstick shade😶

If you’re looking for comfortable fabrics for hot and humid weather, besides cotton, I highly recommend linen. It feels so lightweight, doesn’t stink when you sweat, and feels quite cool and soothing. The only downside is, it requires ironing 😅
