I was born in 1951. I have a hazy memory of growing up amidst natural surroundings in what I was later told was my father’s work life through urban and rural India. Just before I turned ten my mother decided to move us children to Calcutta. She rediscovered her academic leanings and took up a college lectureship, eventually becoming the Principal. In that time I joined Presidency College in Kolkata as an undergraduate, gaining a First Class in Physiology honours.
The family thought I might follow them to go into academia, but I had other ambitions. I trained with an advertising agency in Kolkata and worked with them as an accounts executive for some eight years. The agency was tagged with McCann overseas, and I was known to write long copy towards presentations and printable handouts.
Marriage followed, to a man whose banking job took the family overseas, to the UK, to Bombay and to the south east, to Singapore and Indonesia. I brought up a family and picked up freelance writing and editing. When I was back in India and regulations permitted, I returned to full-time work as assistant editor for a leading health and hospital news publication.
My life partner passed away in 2000 and my children were grown. I moved to the UK to study Occupational Therapy. It involved written papers and spoken presentations in English, my study and work medium. But Calcutta, now transformed to Kolkata, beckoned with a family home. I came home in 2009 and at first found a full time job in editing for the back office of an American online investment research concern.
Time had flown, I turned 65 years of age (I am now 68), and retired from full time employment. I have since then found my feet in English freelance writing and editing, looking for health and medical content whenever I can. My hobbies remain in reading and writing. All with an eye for detail.
I have written film scripts on Final Draft, transcripted story text e.g. Pilgrim's Progress from the original.
