This book is just a collection of essays I had written on different topics connected with my personal life. Besides, I had also written on tours to some local places in Kerala and a return journey that my husband and I took to Singapore. I had always entertained sweet memories of this child hood home which I had left after my Senior Cambridge 'O' level examinations in 1972 at my father's insistence that the whole family should return to India. I had continued on with my studies , having completed M.Tech in Chemical Engineering and procuring a career as a Lecturer and progressing to the status of Professor in the government engineering colleges of Kerala. My siblings too fared well in their studies and got reliable jobs , my sister in the Kerala Treasury Department and my two brothers in Muscat and Dubai respectively. After retirement, I decided to write English essays as reading and writing in that language had been my passion in my schooldays and pre- degree college days. Hence my return to my passion after retirement. An essay and some letters on relevant topics in the Hindu were published . However after that , a sudden stop in publication although I continued to write essays on matter I found interesting. Hence I decided to pay to have my essays published online by such printing publications like the Notion Press and BUUKs. Not so successful but still satisfying my inner soul. The two books that came out of my prolific urge were' Reminiscences' and ' A Critique of Bhima- Lone Warrior ' an English translation of M.T.Vasudevan's Malayalam novel ' Randamoorai , a sympathetic presentation of Bhima, the second son of the Pandava brothers in the great Hindu epic 'Mahabharata'. The two books were released in 2018 and 2020 respectively. Now , after presenting umpteen essays, reviews of both novels and films which enthralled me , and places visited , in Facebook (Shemeela's Page and Newsfeed) I decided to come out with this third publication by Clever Fox Publishers on seventeen essays which I hope to entrance readers.

Shemeela Sasikumar

Shemeela Sasikumar, a chemical engineer and a retired professor of an engineering college, has always been interested in writing essays in the English language. Brought up in Singapore, English became the language in which she thought out her ideas and dreams although she is basically an Indian. Reading mostly the English books written by Enid Blyton , the famous children's author and other English classics of great novelists like Charles Dickens, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charlotte Bronte and Emily Bronte, etcetera and eminent magazines like the Readers' Digest, newspapers like The Strait Times, she is better versed in expressing herself in the English language. Her first published book was 'Reminiscences', a collection of essays on her life experiences in her childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Her second book was -A Critique of 'Bhima-Lone Warrior' based on the English translation of M.T.Vasudevan Nair's Malayalam novel 'Randamoozham'. This third publication titled 'Assorted Essays' is based on more of the author's recent experiences , mostly after the eradication of the coronavirus scourge which affected the world for two years with an overwhelming isolation for the human beings from indulging in any social activity. Shemeela's profession as a teacher in a government engineering college for twenty five years and a wife and mother of two children, did not afford her much time to read and write in English as she would have liked. But after retirement in 2011, Shemeela has found more time to indulge in her favorite hobby of indulging her passion for writing English essays. She hopes that she can carry on with her passion as long as she can, and get recognized as an essayist.
