He and his little brother must leave the bosom of their loving family to seek an education in a foreign country in order to live a better life – a life of both personal responsibility and freedom. He must enter a British boy’s school in India, without any knowledge of the English language. He will not see his family but once in six years. After graduation, his education takes him first to England, then America, where he graduates with a degree in Architectural Engineering. The heart wrenching sacrifices of his parents for their son’s education finds full reward in Jay’s success in life – his architectural practice—his family, his home and his community involvement. This is a story of an immigrant to America for whom, with hard work and dedication, the American dream came true.
