About Me

In my day job, I am an endocrinologist; trained in Kolkata and London and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) and have always been a passionately committed writer.

​

‘Munni Monster’ Duckbill (Penguin Random House India) is my second book for young readers.  My first book, My Grandmother’s Masterpiece, was published by the same imprint in February 2022.

​

More books are coming in the new year! A historical novel for adults has been acquired by Niyogi Books and fiction for young adults is also in the pipeline.

​

Over the years I have written in many formats – articles for The Statesman (Kolkata), scripts for educational documentaries (EMMRC, St Xavier’s College, Kolkata) and for a CD-ROM created by Price Waterhouse Coopers on Satyajit Ray (narrated by Sir Richard Attenborough). But my enduring love has always been fiction, across genres and age groups and a wide range of subjects.
