Sheel Khemka

Sheel’s passions are divided between a love for jeans (as in denim jeans) and the fashion industry, and a love for literature.

Having read profusely as a child, and weaned on the classics from an early age (Latin and ancient Greek), Sheel naturally succumbed to language filled with rich, descriptive imagery and the long extended metaphor, as was characteristic of those times.

At the same time he was exposed to, and enjoyed, some of those signature classical literary genres such as Greek tragedy, replete with its powerful emotional turbulences and cleansing (catharsis)- as in the plays of Aeschylus and Euripides; then the exuberance of landmark rhetoric such as of Cicero; and the decadence, the cajolery, the drawn out dialectic of Plato, all of which bred an early penchant for the intense vivid Classical style – be it a poem, play, or philosophy.

And subsequently, more recently Sheel took up creative writing as part of a second degree (in English Literature), and it is here there is said to have occurred a rekindling of the passions as it were, phoenix-like rising from the ashes of an otherwise destined future of odds-on “bourgeois impolitesse”.
