Sam and Dora Santosh Choudhury

This is my second novel. "Love at Calcutta Consulate" was published in 2003 by AuthorHouse and is still selling. The theme of this novel, "Sam and Dora," is "no sex before marriage." Sam, a hardworking talented immigrant, finished his PhD in science from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. However, the job market being bad, he was forced to take a tech school teaching job at Los Angeles, waiting transition to a job in his specialty area. Dora, with a master's degree in chemistry from UCLA, was also teaching there because of bad job market. They met at school as colleagues and befriended each other. Dora's conservative parents did not approve of her intimacy with Sam. For a while, Dora struggled with her parents. Ultimately, her parents agreed. Sam and Dora got married with her parents' blessings. In the meantime, Sam got an excellent job at NASA in Hampton, Virginia. They moved together to Hampton and lived happily ever after.
