1I guess it depends a lot on what is that Indian person's relation with the said NRI person and vice versa. And what they expect out of that relationship.
My sister is an NRI and so is my BIL, they work in 2 different countries. So I have NRI from 2 different nations in my family, but I obviously don't feel any sort of discomfort interacting with them.
In about 20-25 days time, my own status most prolly will become that of an NRI. I don't think my interactions or relations with my parents or other relatives will change because of that.
Relationships don't change because of shifting to another country. Relationships change because of growing difference in financial conditions. Relationships change because of negative behaviours and expectations that arise from that inequality in financial conditions.
Reeha, You have asked a good question. But this is how I take it. When I was young, I had my aunt and my cousins as NRIs. How I felt to be with them was not so good. It is not because, they were NRIs and they were in a different cultural set-up. But because they were very much financially well-off and my parents were poor, they looked at me and my parents with contempt Later I also became an NRI. But myself and my (deceased) wife when we were NRIs, we were kind and loving to everyone and we had cordial relationship with our relatives and cousins.
Whether a person is NRI or local, what tells that person apart is the love within him or her and not the financial position. The communication between NRI and a resident Indian need not be complicated. Just be kind and loving to everyone and that is all I practice. Every human being has divine spark within and love within and that is what tells that person apart.Why do you feel, your dealings with your nephews and nieces have to be awkward? Why is it important for you the way they interpret you? You know you don't dislike them and you have love for them. Just practice being your natural self to them. If they understand you and reciprocate the love you have for them, you will find communication smoothly going on with them. But if those people have complexes and some preconceived notions, you can't do anything with them. All that you can do is accept yourself and be not affected by them.
These days it's rampant of posting snow fall photographs @ facebook from NRI 😆
