India Today, Dt. 10.1.2000- "We have got m@il" "You don't need to own a computer to use email. You can log into it anywhere in the neighboring STD booth. But the flip side rues a NRIPA member is that writing letters is almost at a standstill. Everything is a mouseclick away.

The Economic Times, Dt. 2.9.2001-"Empty houses but no lonely souls "NRIPA is a friendly, educated professional group widely traveled. Not a kitty party group, not lonely souls who need pity as if life has ended with their children trucked abroad. In fact, they are quite comfortable there. Any normal parent will miss children. With the disintegration of the joint family, planned parenthood, premature retirement of the able bodied, lopsided priorities in education and work opportunities, (thanks to our politicians) which has resulted in our children leaving the country seeking greener pastures and back home increased of life expectancy of parents prompts a healthy support group for parents in India. We have been approached by people in other cities for guidelines to begin sub-chapters. NRIPA members feel there is so much to do here besides visiting children for holidays abroad. But surely we are there when they need us and they are there when we need them.

When your child is on foreign land, Dipti Nair, Dt. 28.01.03- The Telegraph "So your kid has left for the US and you are worried sick ?

Members enacted a skit Scene one, the setting: A genteel New York suburb. A mother is in a heated argument with her teen age daughter. The issue; Mother does not want her daughter to go on a date. While the fiery exchange is on , the date David arrives. Lo! behold. David is actually Dev, a boy of Indian origin. The mother thaws visibly. The conversation zeroes in on the boy and his family. Common connections are discovered and the mother is relieved. The daughter trips out merrily with her date Scene two: Father on hearing about this mentions NRIPA in Bangalore. The two decide to enroll themselves as members once they decide to leave their daughter in the US and return home ".

"For those who prefer to lead independent lives inspiration can come from this 6 year old cosmopolitan group. Only if parents are productive and happy children can perform well in foreign lands without a guilt feeling."

Times of India 28.9.03
"We wouldn’t want to leave our city, our lives and go to a new place in our old age. Neither would it be fair to call our children back just for us." Generally all parents feel the same. "We have consciously sent our children abroad and it is fair that we abide by our decisions."
