Why I wrote Seven Memoirs.

At one time I was the youngest in my class in elementary school.
I was also the youngest in my class in High School
When I started to work at the bank I was the youngest employee.
That is no longer the case.
I am now one of the oldest members of my family.
Life changes, but it is worth living.
In my memoir, My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living, I tell it all.

After retiring from Banking, I moved on the Insurance Underwriting which took me on a whirlwind of travel and adventure. It is all detailed in Retirement is Fun: When one door closes another opens.

My children grew up and left the nest. That coupled with my Insurance job necessitated many travels. The result was a spin-off story about my travels. Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the world was written to record my travel adventures.

Life is not always a bed of roses and I soon realized that when a bout of ovarian cancer almost claimed my life. I lived to tell my story in a book, I am Cancer Free - A Memoir in which I assured others that cancer does not have to be a death sentence.

The scare of cancer helped me to assess my life and connect bible quotations and references to certain events in my life. I wrote Your Time is Now: A Time to be born and a Time to Die to connect those dots.

Dr. Andrew M. Khan was my father. 

He started writing his memoirs a few months prior to his death in 1975, but unfortunately, his call by his Maker prevented him from publishing it. 

In 1989, while I was still working at a bank I compiled the book, Memoirs of Dr. Andrew M. Khan: Journey of an Educator, from his diaries and other hand-written papers.  

A Foreword was written by the former Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago Sir Isaac Hyatali [now deceased].

The finished product was made available to friends and relatives and was not published for the wider public. 
This book is a new and revised version.  
I wrote the book because I loved my father and felt that the life of a great Educator who rose to great heights from a humble upbringing despite several setbacks in his life, and the primitive times in which he lived, deserved to be recorded

When my pet dog died I wanted to tell her story. It is a story for all pet and dog lovers. She Cried for Me will touch your heart and I hope that you will read it.

My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living is a wonderful story detailing how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely on the basis of her dedication, hard work, and intelligence.

Brenda Mohammad describes how the manual work was transformed to computerization, her working at different branches and working relationship with her colleagues.
Her farewell party from the fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them.
It was interesting to note, as a tradition, the groom used to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter.
This is what happened when her husband proposed her.
Description of her marriage is so beautiful and emotional.
Brenda had an extensive travelling of the United States and Europe; I enjoyed her visits to Germany and Holland the most.
Close knitting in her family and how her parents and her siblings took care of each other is worth reading;
It was touching to read how her father talked to all of his children separately before his death.
Brenda's belief in God is remarkable.

"Retirement Is Fun" is an enjoyable account of life after retirement, written by an amazing author, Brenda Mohammed. Ms. Mohammed recounts in great detail her decision to embark on a totally new career, with its ensuing challenges and rewards, after retiring from a successful career in banking.
