Background
Information
After education I became a schoolmaster. Worked in several Kerala government schools teaching English language in middle school classes and retired in 1995. Now residing at Vayalar, a beautiful lakeside village in Alappuzha (Alleppey) district with my wife and two children.
From early childhood I acquired the habit of reading. It grew into the craze of reading all kinds of books, fiction and non-fiction. I could read so many works of the old masters when I was in high school classes. Afterwards I read creations of modern writers. Because of the reading habit, my studies were badly affected by it. Wrote several books including works for children in Malayalam, my mother tongue.
I have been conferred an award in the name of Rabindranath Tagore, established by DC Books Kottayam (1977, for my first novel ‘Urayoorunna Pakalukal’) and Kunkumam Prize (Novel 'Theerabhoomikal').
'The Azure of Solicitude' is my first published novel in English, which is now available onlie through leading online bookstores like Amazon.com & Barnes&Noble.com
I have completed two more novels.
One is in the backdrop of a riot, which was occurred following the First World War. It started as a liberty struggle and grew into a big riot causing the killing of numerous innocent people and was suppressed by the military force of Britain who had been ruling India at the time.
Another one is novel is the story of a celibate and selfless Ayurvedic physician. In it I am trying to reflect the time between 1919 and 1956.
I am in search of a publisher for these two novels.
