I've been thinking about the "lonely in crowd" thing too lately. I believe it's more of a thing where once you're in a different mindset than your fellow peers, you don't vibe or relate w/ them in any manner. That in-turn leads you to find more virtual/distant peers who have similar mindsets to yours. However, because of the geographical barriers, you can't develop that *deep* bond with them leading you to not being as comfortable as calling them at 3 AM in the morning. It'll go away if you reduce the distance between the folks w/ your mindset. That's why most folks from India apply to US/Canada/UK Uni's as majority populous in Indian uni's just want a job rather than doing something different/interesting.
Thinking about it from this way, i didn’t relate it to applying abroad but pointing it out, makes it seem plausible. I completely agree on the mindset thing. It is mainly about how in ease you are with them based on how similar your ideas are with them
Congrats on the grant, Vibhuti! All the best!
