New Delhi: Picture yourself leaving behind
everything and everyone you have ever known in your whole life - your
family, friends, school, job, favorite coffee shop, and language. And
now imagine having a new set of friends, new school and new job in a
different country where you may or may not know anyone. What would you do? Where
do you find all the information you need?
Currently, Indians rely on family, friends and
the internet to understand how things work in America. This process is
laborious and ineffective. A resident from Chennai, Vivek Sreedhar uses his firsthand
experiences to weave an engaging tale that entertains and guides those ready to
embark on a new journey in America. This book serves as a handbook for any
Indian to understand who they are and where they belong in a new country.
In his debut novel Ketchup & Curry: Your Guide to Life and Success in America,
Sreedhar presents an entertaining and informative story of struggle and
transformation that will resonate with immigrants from all walks of life -
those who are just now beginning their new lives in America, as well as those
who have already accomplished their American dream.
Vivek Sreedhar was born in Chennai,
India and went to America to pursue a degree in engineering. Over a course
of time, he has worked and lived with people from various cultures and
backgrounds in the US, while overcoming all the differences and hurdles of
migrating to a new country. He is now a successful professional with a master's
degree in electrical engineering and business administration and has worked for
Fortune 500 companies in multiple industries. He currently resides in the US
with his Indian-American wife.
He hopes to use his own experiences of
emigrating and interacting with many different cultures and backgrounds to help
others find their own niche and place of comfort in the American socio-cultural
scene.
America is a melting pot of cultures, where
diversity thrives and amidst all the cultural differences lies your unique
identity. Let this book serve as a guide for you to be better prepared as you
make your transition into a new country.
