Should Raj have gone with Anu or stayed with Howard?

I expected Raj to take off. Staying with Howard is a missed opportunity. Besides what will Bernie think. Maybe he could move in with Mitch and trade Notting Hill for Silent Hill (note for Lemons: that was a video game reference combined with Raj's rom com reference)
Also if there ever was a time for Leonard to punch Sheldon this was it, another missed opportunity.

Been giving it some thought; and much as I liked Anu, I believed Raj made the right decision.
Howard couldn’t have talked Raj into staying if, what he really wanted to do was go. Commitment is a rocky road…even when you are sure. Obviously Raj was not sure, which is why Howard’s 30-second bromance speech was enough to convince him to stay.
Of course, if Raj had given Howard a heartfelt “she’s the one for me” speech and got on the plane, that would have been OK too. But, he didn’t...so she wasn't...so for Raj, staying was the right thing to do.
