About Author Sunith Puthur

I was born in Ramasseri, Elappully, in the Palakkad district, which at the time was part of the old Madras State.

I am Ph. D degree holder in English. I have published research papers in various national and international journals. I have participated in related national and international seminars and submitted research papers.

At Present, I work as Assistant Professor of English, EASA College of Engineering an Technology, Coimbatore.

Professionally, I began my career in the bustling streets of Old Bombay in the late 1970s, working in a private textile mill called Kamala Mills in South Patel, which no longer exists. This experience exposed me to the energy, diversity, and challenges of city life, enriching my perspective on human endeavor and social complexity. Later I joined in Government service under Kerala Government in administration, coordination in Literarcy Mission, and as Team Leader of Bharahappuzha River Committee. After leaving the government sector, I worked as French teacher in an Arabic curriculum school in Abu Dhabi. Then I worked as Lecturer of English in Dire Dawa University, Ethiopia. I returned to India in 2010 and Joined in Nehru Group of Institutions, Coimbatore as Assistant Professor of English in various colleges under the group.

In 2023 I joined in EASA College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore.

The hills, forests, and rivers of my native land shaped my early imagination and love for storytelling. Literary pursuit runs in my family: my ancestral maternal uncle, Chembatte Krishnan—the great-grand maternal uncle of my maternal grandmother—translated the Sreemad Bhagavatham from Sanskrit to Malayalam in 1872, working meticulously from palm leaf manuscripts, leaving a legacy of scholarship and literary dedication that has deeply inspired me.

My own literary journey began early; my very first short story, which I still have, was written while I was in the 9th grade, marking the start of a lifelong engagement with writing. I have published a book on the significance of the river Nila (Bharathappuzha), for which Dr. E. Sreedharan, the Metro Man of India, has written the foreword.

As an author, I have completed the first volume of my historical novel, Embracing the Winds, which ends with the hero embarking from Madras port to Basra aboard the vessel MD Madura. I have also completed the second volume, Song Birds Love to Sing, set entirely in Mesopotamia, particularly the northern hilly region of Sinjar near Mosul. This second volume awaits editing before publication.

My novels explore the interplay between personal lives and historical currents, often following ordinary individuals navigating extraordinary times. They reflect resilience, humanism, and the cultural threads that define identity, characterized by rich narrative style, evocative prose, and attention to historical and emotional details.

Through my writing, I aim to preserve heritage, illuminate human values, and inspire readers with stories that resonate across generations.
