India’s largest self-publishing company, Notion Press, has published its latest book To H-1b or Not to Be. Written by Hitesh Dev who has been in the United States since the year 2000, the book is a fictional account of the story of many Indians today who part with their families and struggle to find a job in the United States to improve the standard of their lives. The book not only talks about the problems faced by Indian workers employed in Indian American companies, but it also showcases the lighter side and joys that come with realising your dreams.

It has become the ambition of many Indian students to study abroad, especially in the United States, to find a job and settle there. However, these dreams come with insurmountable challenges and one among them is the immigration issue – H-1b visas. Many people had to sacrifice living their lives with their families, spouses, and their loved ones because of the restrictions and continue their jobs abroad just to get a little more money. In this pursuit, many forget to realise the true joys of life and the importance of spending time with their families.

Hitesh Dev, the author of the book, went to the United States from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, as a student in the year 2000. Just like others before and after him, he also faced many challenges that came with a life in a new country. This enabled him to write this fictional account which reflects the problems of many like him and hard choices they have to make in their lives to follow their dreams.

He is a technology professional who works and has worked with many large private and government organizations in America throughout his extensive career. He also likes to write fiction and nonfiction. He writes blogs and articles online in social media and also for several leading news outlets in India and the United States.

To H-1B or Not to Be is a coming of age story of a young, ambitious Indian student and must-read for youth who have a dream to go to the United States for education or work.  The path is not easy, and it often comes with a price. The author makes a successful attempt of telling an intriguing tale which is based on real characters and situations around his life in the United States

The book is available in Print and e-book format at the Notion Press bookstore and several leading e-commerce websites including Amazon and Flipkart.
