Vinod Busjeet
As told in his own words Vinod Busjeet describes himself this way: Born in Mauritius, a multicultural island in the Indian Ocean, I was educated at the Royal College Secondary School, then studied in Madagascar at the French university Charles de Gaulle, and US at Wesleyan University (Connecticut), New York University and Harvard. I have worked as a secondary school teacher in Mauritius, an international banker at the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation in Washington DC, and a diplomat. After 29 years in economic development, finance and diplomacy that took me to over 50 countries, I turned to writing. My first attempt was a screenplay, Murder in the Gold Jungle, an environmental thriller set in Brazil. It is in search of a producer. My novel Silent Winds, Dry Seas followed. I hold dual citizenships - USA and Mauritius. In my ideal world, there would be no national passports. I consider myself a world citizen.
