ReadersMagnet will exhibit Shakuntala Rajagopal’s “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun” at the 2023 LibLearnX (LLX) this coming January 27-30, 2023.

ReadersMagnet will exhibit Shakuntala Rajagopal’s memoir “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun” at the 2023 LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience (LLX) from January 27 to 30, 2023, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Attendees of LLX can expect several activities that uphold the future of libraries and their communities.

In “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun,” Dr. Shakuntala recounts her experiences as a 23-year-old doctor from South India who set forth a new life in Chicago. While Dr. Shaku was grateful for being able to support her husband’s dharma in the frozen state of Illinois, the difficulties of living in a new country were, at times, insurmountable. Leaving a place someone calls home for the longest time entails a whirlwind of emotion and strange experiences. Dr. Shaku had to adjust to the cold climate of Chicago and the new lifestyle that lay before her. Despite all her challenges, she molded her life and established herself as a strong, kind, loving mother and grandmother.

How she contributed to the melting pot of America while becoming part of it is a story worth reading. “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun” is a profound chronicle of courage and a gentle and inspiring quest of what it means to adapt to a new home. Anybody displaced from a place of comfort or pursuing advice to overcome adversities and anyone interested in “the Immigrant story” will find Dr. Shaku’s memoir helpful to survive adversity and prosper in a strange land.

Grab a copy of Shakuntala Rajagopal’s “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun” on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Make sure to visit the book’s display at the ReadersMagnet exhibit booth at the 2023 LibLearnX.

Right after Dr. Shakuntala Rajagopal graduated from Trivandrum Medical College, she followed her husband for seven months to Chicago. She had to grow up twice. The first time, in the bosom of a warm extended family, growing up was a pleasure. There, she had to grow up all over again. Life was hard and sometimes lonely in their early years without a family.

After a long and distinguished career in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Dr. Shakuntala retired and is now enjoying life as a matriarch to her three daughters, two sons-in-law, three grandsons, one granddaughter-in-law and an extended family of fifty-four in Chicago land alone.

Her novel, RADHA, was published in November 2007. Excerpts from her two memoirs appear in various anthologies and tangled webs. In 2015 her memoir Song of the Mountains, My Pilgrimage to Maa Ganga, was published. It covered Dr. Shakuntala’s healing trip to Mother Ganges and the Himalayan ranges after her husband died. Her memoir, “Transplanted From 110 Degrees in the Shade to 10 Degrees Below Zero in the Sun,” was released in 2019.

Having transcended a non-social three years due to the pandemic, she enjoys an active life with family and friends. Her subsequent memoir, “Fearless,” is in the works and will be ready to read at the end of this year.
