My determination as my strength
I came to Kolkata from a small town to pursue my studies and to enjoy my young adult life. After 1 year, I suddenly thought of earning and learning as I was passionate about cooking, paintings, dancing and singing. I decided that I was going to take up cooking as my profession and open a restaurant.
Gaming as a Hobby and Profession
Gaming improves your puzzle solving skills, improves decision making, opens up many career opportunities, major stress buster, broadens your general knowledge on multiple topics, the list goes on. But as anything in life, too much of it and it can take you down a dark path. It can lead to self-isolation, addiction and if you’re not careful, it can blow a big hole in your wallet. It should be balanced like everything else.
Progress is the new Obsession!

I started young. From catching the frogs which entered our house during monsoons, to catching grasshoppers, dragonflies, fishes, and lizards, I did not waste any time and watched the national geographic channel like a madman.

What does my mind say?
Just as you go to a doctor for your general physical check-up, your mental health check-up is also an important aspect of your overall wellness. WHO defines Health as “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This definition states the biopsychosocial aspect of a person’s life. To be called a healthy person you must have a healthy physique, a sound mind and a well-balanced social life. If even one of the mentioned aspects is disturbed it will cause gradual mental and social instability. Mental health has to be given priority because even if you like it or not your mind gets tired and it needs adequate rest from thinking. Thus, some researches prove that Yoga, morning walks, meditation or prayer help you keep your mind calm and peaceful. Just as you give your body a break your mind will need time off from your busy schedule.
FROM PRANKSTER TO PREACHER
