Dr. Mridul Dora

I wrote my first poem at the age of 13 when I was in VIII standard. The Doordarshan channel was broadcasting the funeral ceremony of our former President Lt. Sardar Giani Zail Singh ji when my mother explained me how a human body is formed of five elements and how after death, the five elements get scattered. Somehow, it struck my mind and my first poem was 'Paanch Tatv' based on life and death of a human body which was also published in the school magazine. However, it was also a tribute to Lt. Sardar Giani Zail Singh ji. Gradually I started writing poems as and when they occur to me. I always used to dream of being a writer. The idea of my first novel struck me long back in 2007 but it could never be materialized. I wrote a few initial pages of this novel in 2011 but then God had some other plans. Shabad, my bundle of joy, came in my life and the novel got stuck. I am working on it now.

I have a good collection of both English and Hindi poetry which will be published soon. Some of my Hindi and English poems have been published in various anthologies.

I started my teaching career in 2004 as an ELT teacher cum Personality Development trainer which also included imparting Interview Skills to candidates. I have also taught English to students from Thailand and Korea. I have also worked with CETPA Infotech Pvt. Ltd. as Manager-HR and imparted training in Campus Recruitment Preparation. I have also worked at Mangalmay Institute of Management Studies, Greater Noida as Sr. Lecturer for Business Communication.
