In love with the English language and literature, right from her college days, the allure deepened and the passion remained all through the years. With a postgraduate degree in English language and literature from Madras University and a bachelor of education degree from Mahatma Gandhi University, it has been a fascinating bond leading to a teaching career across a wide spectrum of challenging experiences with interesting multinational and multilingual students.
Travelling within the country and abroad as the spouse of a highly placed civil servant brought her into a rich vibrant interface with distinguished persons. This opened up a world of understanding and appreciation of different cultures and a historical perspective was added to her love of literature. As a freelance trainer at Inlingua – The International School of Languages, New Delhi, and Wall Street Institute of English in Geneva, she explored new frontiers and sought fresh horizons.
Settled in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, she rediscovered the beauty of English literature while training civil service aspirants at the Fortune Academy. Her first book, A Walk to Tintern Abbey and Beyond, is an adoring tribute to the great, inspiring masters of English literature.
This book is a light-hearted indulgence in the happy hours spent walking on the sun-kissed undulating lanes of Thiruvananthapuram, in the open-air, sylvan surroundings with lush green, wild vegetation, in the company of trees that stood like silent sentinels.
To her, it always felt fresh and tingling with new excitement, the hush and stillness bursting with secrets to reveal and breaking into the sights and sounds of man and nature. Each morning brought forth conversations, incidents, musings, emotions, thoughts and surprises waiting to be shared.

Random moments, chance encounters and stray thoughts often touch a tender chord of memory or tug at the heartstrings. Casual observations raise questions and create awareness.
At times imagination takes wings to give them rainbow tones and curious shapes stolen from fantasy. Jaya Chandrasekhar captures such fleeting impressions and lasting memories in this book. It’s a light read with a breezy play of words, sentiments and ideas, emotional tease and frolic with the sunny side of life.
The emotional intelligence of the humble coconut vendor, the nostalgic camaraderie of the extended family, the concern for lost values, the overwhelming presence of technology and the mystery of vanishing flower pots are all part of this insubstantial, chaotic pageant of life.
It’s a glimpse into the joyous world of a romantic, liberated soul.

Originally published as a series of podcasts, Jaya Chandrasekhar’s collection of write-ups is on selected timeless poems and plays.
In an engaging conversational tone, she brings alive the vibrant echoes from the past. Curiosity is kindled by the array of questions raised and the reader accompanies the author in her quest for understanding. Together they explore and interpret poetry, drama and life. They traverse the corridors of literature, borders collapse, to reveal rich insights, deep lasting humanness and aesthetic fulfilment.
A resourceful companion to a literary student, the book carefully handpicks from a plethora of literary criticism, the most noteworthy, illuminating studies, enriched with the writer’s own vantage point.
Her open-ended writing respects and inspires the reader’s own perspective. She puts into words what a piece of literary work is, the deep impressions it creates and the entire period with the social realities it evokes.
The reader discerns and determines what aspects merit critical scrutiny and what lies unexplored in this luminous record of inner and outer life, craftsmanship and the mystique we call genius.
Here is a meditative walk from the serene Tintern Abbey to the magical Byzantium and the ageless, enduring ruins of Burnt Norton.
