Yes. - Apr 2024


I definitely would not. - Jan 2022


No way in hell. - Sep 2020


I came here because of my job, not because of the city. I wouldn’t choose to live in Delhi again. But I’ve enjoyed myself despite Delhi. If I found myself back here again, I’m sure I would again find a way to embrace the good and let go of the bad. - Jul 2020


Yes. - Jul 2019


No. - Oct 2017


Yes, though I would take more precautions with the air. - Mar 2017


Hmmm. Not sure. Air quality aside, it was a great adventure. But hard to see my kids breathing that crap every day and not feel extreme guilt. - Feb 2017


Very questionable. But like I said, there are things I wouldn't take back from my experiences. - Nov 2016

No - Sep 2012


Yes. - Aug 2011


never, the professional experiences were absolutely incredible, but I would never put myself through that again if given the chance to go elsewhere - Aug 2011


Yes. - Aug 2011


Absolutely! - Jan 2011


No - even with the great school (which is now in decline) -- it isn't worth it. - Sep 2010


Probably just as a tourist. I do not dislike it, but living here is another story. It is really hard just to get from one place to another. The heat, the pollution, the poverty only add on the pervasive lack of infrastructure and services. It's improving but not sure if someday the infrastructure will catch up with the "big power" ideal of India. - Aug 2010


Definitely. We had an amazing two years though admittedly we were ready to return to the US. - Aug 2010


NO WAY, JOSE! - Aug 2010


Not sure. I do love it here, but health-wise I think I would really consider it very carefully before bringing children here. - Mar 2008


Yes. - Feb 2008
