She used to excel in her primary girls school in her home town Gwalior. She took the High School exam as a private candidate from Aligarh Muslim University at the age of 14. She became a college graduate at 18 and graduated as Bachelor of Education at age 19.
Her interest in health food grew after her husband had an open heart surgery about twenty years ago. Then he became diabetic. He was asked not to eat red meats, avoid fried foods, oil, sugar etc.
Shamim started researching the benefits of fruits and vegetables. She asked people for recipes. She asked her own mother for old home remedies. As she has many doctors and pharmacists in the family she always consulted some one or the other on harms and benefits of certain foods. Eventually she started to pile up all the information to get it published as a hand book for easy reference for all the people.
She writes articles on health and other topics in Noor magazine regularly in two languages, English and Urdu.
Shamim is retired and lives with her husband in New York. She has two married children and nine grandchildren. They live in NJ and VA.
