My ancestral roots were seeded in a little farm in Maudihaan, in the district of Rohtas, in the state of Bihar, in Eastern India. My great grandfather, left as an indentured labourer, in 1879, to South Africa, on British sailing ships, and his ship, which was called the HMS Truro. My grandfather and father and myself were all born in South Africa. I grew up and lived in South Africa and I had a love for writing, from a young age. When I was thirty-eight years old, living with the discriminatory laws in the apartheid era in South Africa, when non-whites were victimised and separated according to the race, creed and culture, that I left my mother country, and immigrated to New Zealand, where I reside currently.
I studied and at the age of twenty, I graduated as a schoolteacher, and then quickly I was promoted as Senior leader, Deputy Principal and Principal at various schools both in South Africa and New Zealand. I had a short stint in the UAE as a Team Leader, after I was taken on contract to support American and other teachers from around the world, with the NZ curriculum and pedagogy, between 2014 and 2017. It is in the UAE, whence my flair for writing erupted, and it is here that I wrote 6 books, because I had lots of time available after school, which ended at 1.00pm, daily.
It is funny, that I wrote novels as a past time, and at no time I had the intention to get them published. It happened by chance when, I was still in the UAE, for whatever reason, I had an email from Xlibris, and then Author House, with information about being an up-and-coming author and each one sent me an offer as a package deal, separately. On arrival to NZ, I started to read my stories, again, and rewrote many parts, and did a few edits. When I felt happy, I made fresh new contact with many publishing companies. This was the start of my communication with both publishing houses, and 8 years later, in 2022, my first book is in publishing sequence with Partridge, Author Solutions. The first book is entitled ‘Prem Kissa’. Currently I am still in the teaching profession after completing 45 years, so far, and on my way to retirement, and thereafter I will take up writing as a full-time hobby.weniger sehen
