Probably this gentleman never got a chance to visit abroad. NRIs are more close to India then those resident in India. I will give you an example (which is not suitable to be mentioned here, but still). The Hindi film industry earns about 3 times more income abroad then in India. People never forget their roots, because the environment around them always reminds them of back home. When the food tastes bland, when there is no emotions involved in any dealing, when there is no joy during festivals, when there is no mourning in death, when there is no gossip, when there is no mirth during marriages, ones eyes do get moist. But even then you have to wipe your own tears, because no one can comfort you like Back Home.
