Born in Bengal, India, the author was schooled mostly in Calcutta. He graduated in electrical engineering from Jadavpur University in Calcutta. He won merit scholarships throughout his academic career. He went to Bombay Tata Hydro as a special trainee, selected by the government of India. After the training, he won the Parkinson Commonwealth Bursary, one such scholarship being awarded each year by an all-India competition to go to England for special technical training. After completing the terms of Bursary, he proceeded to do research, financed by the engineering department, to complete his PhD (doctorate) degree from Manchester University in electrical engineering. In England, he continued reading novels written by various writers. He developed a desire to write fiction.
Shortly after, a company brought him from England to Montreal on contract. During this period, he published technical papers in journals and traveled coast to coast in Canada. After the contract period ended, he traveled through Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Calcutta, Europe, and back to Montreal.
He settled down with his young family in Montreal and worked in large corporations like RCA, satellite division, moved to Mississauga, worked in AECL, Nortel, and won a number of awards while working in two private companies. He then worked on contracts in a consulting company. Once his two daughters finished university studies, this author retired from working.
He started to write an international Indo-Canadian story. He’d always succeeded in any challenges he undertook. His mental disciplines developed by publishing technical articles, his knowledge of people, countries, styles, and how stories are told in novels provided him with the confidence to write this story. He struggled for months to start the story. Finally, he wrote the handwritten full story. He read the draft after a few weeks and found it exciting. While putting it on the computer, he expanded the story and finally produced this story, A Man of Two Countries, as told in this book.view less
