Product Description
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and wondering whether where you were in San Francisco or San Diego, New Delhi or Nashville?
This humorous photo story of a modern Nomad describes the first hand experiences of a Hi-tech immigrant who moves to Nashville from Silicon Valley and beautifully captures Nashville as seen by a West coast migrant, combining his stunning imagination with equally stunning imagery, making us feel we are driving through the streets of Tennessee with him.
He brings the contrast and similarities between the west coast and Tennessee beautifully, using colorful words and photographs, and to share his state of mind as he is tossed around by his destiny:
"The snowflakes descend slowly, floating in the air, allowing the air current to carry them with it, letting it change their paths. They have chosen not to confront their destiny, choosing instead to enjoy every second of their short lives, their journey to the ground."
Great splashes of humor, yet very thoughtful!

 Interesting narration, sort of like a tour guide through life! June 16, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The author takes you around a tour of Nashville and then San Diego -- you feel like you are on a tour through life with a rather funny, philosophical and "weathered" tour guide who not only describes the places and life situations but also adds his touch of philosophy, humor and live experiences.
Being a Super minority (East Asian), I could relate with it much more easily.
Good read, it covers both Nashville and West coast June 16, 2008

In addition to Nashville, the book has beautiful coverage of a city in West coast -- I think the author wants to keep that as a secret.
Anyway, good book for light reading though it also raises some deeper philosophical questions, interesting to see the USA from the eyes on an outsider. I have never been to Nashville, so this was an interesting introduction to it.
Superb description of interesting place! June 3, 2008

Wonderful! Reading this book was an adventurous experience by itself, very real. Nashville seems like a very romantic, historic place. I feel like visiting it sometime. nice photographs! Loved the book!! The book is people looking for some light reading -- it is bitter sweet experiences of a double migrant -- an Asian Indian immigrant technology executive who moves to Tennessee after spending 12 years on the West coast, it is very funny, with some thoughtful and many thoughtless pieces.

This book reads very easy -- like a rather funny travelogue / description of Nashville sent to you by one of your funnier friends. Very jovial! Complete with pictures and personal experiences from the point of view of an Asian Indian immigrant.
