To summarize the overall feeling and the million rupees question (yes, it is now in rupees, not in $$ anymore) - would you consider going back to US' - the answer is a definite NO! We would simply loose too much by going back. However, agree that it is too early to say. It has been just 4 months and everything looks new as of now - the family reach, food, weather etc etc and may not feel that good after few years. However, the sentiment about things like family reach etc has remained the same - it is simply too 'far' being in US to have a close attachment with the family. We can already see that we can get involved with several things like family health issues, kids education and lot of other things on a day-to-day basis, which was not possible being there.
So, as of now, all eforts are towards settling down here, with housing being a major long term consideration. There is no simple answer for this one - the places close to work are quite expensive, eventhough affordable, doesn't seem to justify the price. Places relatively far are bit cheaper but school commute, water etc become a concern. Hope time will resolve these things...
