Wishful Thinking

Coming from a distinguished family in India with loving parents and siblings and spending most of his childhood and adolescent life in the old country, Saeed and his family went through a turbulent life due to intolerance by certain individuals. The sad experience was repeated when he grew up and faced similar situations. Wishful Thinking is an account of courage and resilience and a testament of patience overcoming life's curveballs. This is a true story of an immigrant, depicting trials and tribulations of life, and how he and his immediate family endured it.
