Sounds good to me...Yes, i have heard about KREC (should be Kurukshethra right??)...Yes, u r right...we should always consider the opportunities which are coming in our way and should validate whether they gonna benefit us in lon run both career and financially...in your case, i should say you have done the right thing...

I think at the moment, for environmental engineers (water, urban design etc)Qatar is the right place and u can take advantage of this scenario...at the moment im having 5 yrs of experience in this field and may be i will work for 5 more years in abroad then go back to my country as the current market for civil engineers is really good and they r paying ver well...but, my wife always prefer going USA (i should consider that one as well in 3yrs time)..

let us see how it goes...

cheers
