About

I am Sunil Deepak, a retired doctor and an active grand-father from India. After a life-time full of international travels, now I spend most of my time in Schio, a tiny mountain town in the north-east of Italy.

 

I like reading and writing, visiting art exhibitions, cooking, going for cycle tours and long walks (while listening to podcasts). I also love spending time with my family, especially my grand-daughter.

My Writings

In 2022, I started writing my first Hindi fiction novel, about a man searching for his mother. It is with a publisher in India, hopefully it will come out sooner or later. I am on my second Hindi fiction book about a woman looking for her mother, set against the backdrop of British period tea gardens.

 

As you can see, I like the theme of lost mothers, fathers and siblings - I call these my "Amar, Akbar, Anthony" books, like the well-known Manmohan Desai film on this theme.

 

I am also doing research and preparing for 2 non-fiction books in English. 

 

If you can read Hindi and would like to read my books and may be even give me feedback, do contact me by email at sunil.deepak(at)gmail.com or through my Facebook page or Twitter or Instragram. 

 

I Wish

I would like very much to be a part of a small group of elderly persons, especially men, who spend time together doing creative writing and talking about writing. However, as I grow older, the days seem to pass faster and there is little time left, so this idea is likely to remain just that.

 

I also like meeting people and can speak Italian, English, Hindi, and some French and Portuguese. If you are in or near Schio and are looking for a friend or advice about India or Indian food, do contact me by email at sunil.deepak(at)gmail.com or through my Facebook page or Twitter or Instragram.

 

Background

I grew up in Delhi (India) where I completed my medical college degree.

 

For more than three decades, I lived in Bologna (Italy) and worked at international level with AIFO/Italy, ILEP and WHO. Then for a couple of years, I was in Guwahati (Assam, India) with Mobility India. My areas of work were in community health, disability, rehabilitation, leprosy, training, research and evaluation. If you are interested in my professional work, you can check some of my research papers and publications.
