I have an excellent command over the English language, with a graduate degree from London University and 35 years of experience in the engineering industry. After my retirement in 2004, I have pursued my passion for writing - both technical and creative. I have just completed an assignment of 25 technical articles (each of 500+ words) for an American engineering company. I also have a monthly column in a magazine and am a member of its advisory board. I also blog; and you can read my articles on http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/39690/firoze_hirjikaka.html
