Stepping foot on foreign soil, Maria felt a mix of fear and excitement. The language, customs, and culture were completely foreign to her, presenting numerous obstacles to overcome. The initial challenges were overwhelming, yet they fueled her determination to create a better life for herself and her family.

Struggles and Sacrifices

Through the story of Maria, we witness the relentless resilience of immigrants, the power of community, and the triumph of dreams realized. As we celebrate the triumphs, let us also acknowledge the tragedies that immigrants endure, and work towards creating a more inclusive and understanding society.

Shri Thanedar, an immigrant who grew up in a
lower middle class family in a rural area of India, and who eventually overcame
a myriad hurdles on his way to becoming a successful entrepreneur
and business owner in the USA. More than a rags-to-riches story, this autobiographical
narrative relates the journey of an ordinary man with an extraordinary
will.

Originally published in India in the Marathi language, this book was a bestseller
with 34 editions and became hugely popular among Indian readers. The unanimous
verdict among readers was that Shri’s story gave them hope and the courage
to deal with life’s challenges. Written in a candid manner that is both emotionally
wrenching and refreshingly humorous, this is a tale of tragedy and triumph, disappointing
failures and extraordinary successes. Shri frequently narrates his story to
capacity crowds, which is a source of great motivation for his audiences.

Shri Thanedar currently lives with his wife, Shashi, in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
where he owns and manages Avomeen Analytical Services, a chemical testing laboratory.
