Life Story of A Transplanted Man

About the Book

This memoir is about a man who was uprooted at the age of 24 from culture, society, environment, business systems, living style, and diet and transplanted into a location where those things were different. It describes his life before and after the transplantation. It also describes how an ordinary and elementary school-educated farmer’s son, living a very basic life in a small village in India, gets an education, comes to America, gets further education, and becomes a successful professional, uplifts, with the help of his complementary life partner, family living standards, and raises two successful physician children.

This memoir presents a proven road map, for people planning to get transplanted or newly transplanted in the promised land of America, on how to establish roots in America and thrive. It is especially more relevant to men and women from India. This memoir also provides, for people already successfully transplanted in the promised land of America and thriving, a structured content format for those who want to write his/her own life stories.
