Memoir

by Harish Masand

This is a story about sacrifice and dreams—about choosing what to let go and what to hold on to. The journey to Canada brings new challenges, responsibilities, and uncertainties, yet also the quiet forming of new roots. It is a testament to learning how to bend without breaking, and how to grow in unfamiliar soil. At its heart, this book explores immigration not as an act of leaving one life behind, but as the weaving of two—carrying the past as memory while embracing the future as destiny. Through moments of hardship and hope, from the weight of distance and rejection to the dignity of rebuilding from zero, this story reveals what is lost, what is gained, and the strength discovered along the way. It is a journey of becoming—stronger, humbler, and more resilient.
