Fist Full of Sand is a collection of skillfully crafted and powerful stories of recent immigrant Indians who came to the United States to live, raise their families and be part of this country despite the cultural clashes, social upheaval and generational divide. These are their tales of confl ict, tradition and belief, success and failure, hope and aspirations for the future.
The stories may be fi ctional but most of them are woven around the true incidents and common concerns of the Indians living in America. The message in the book is “Life is like a fi st full of sand which cannot be held tight. More you try to hold it more it slips through your fi ngers. Life is an adventure full of challenges. Don’t dwell on them. Learn from them and move on”
