HEYYYY THERE!!!!!

 This is my first ever blog, and I am super excited!!! (Though I have the least idea of where to get started)

So, first things first....let me introduce myself before welcoming you into my crazy world.

Namaste everyone. I am Dr. Soumita Ghosh, fondly called Sou, Soumi, Soomi......and the list continues (so feel free to call me by whatever name you wish). I am a doctor by profession, but apart from healing my patients and revising those thick boring medical books, I am madly in Love with literature (yuppp, you guessed that right...typical Bengali!!).

My hobbies include singing, listening to music, reading loads of novels and writing my heart out, reciting poetries and experimenting with cooking once a while.

Like any other introvert girl brought up in a strict Convent school, where they check your nails and hair on a daily basis after the thirty minutes of school assembly, my childhood was pretty basic. Though I used to speak, to a lot of my classmates (because it felt awkward to be the quiet girl that I always was), there were hardly anyone whom I could actually connect to. There were times I had felt like a loner amidst a huge crowd. I was always an active participant in various activities.....be it inter school music competitions, classroom debates, school assemblies, dramas or something as simple as rangoli making, and I was lucky enough to receive praises most of the times. Yet, there was something amiss. And it was here, when writing came to my rescue...

When I was a toddler, I used to listen to a lot of poems for children, written by Rabindranath Tagore and Sukumar Roy. My mother used to recite them to me and I loved to listen to her. My father, on the other hand, was a writer, who had a white coloured diary to note down his poetries. Both of these factors, perhaps, had touched my baby mind, and perhaps I had started imagining myself composing poems. I did not know how to write, but my playtimes included sitting with a slate board and a chalk, scribbling lines randomly. When asked, I used to reply in a super serious tone, "I am writing a poem." (I don't remember any of these, by the way.....but my mom still speaks of those days).

And then....poetry became an integral part of my life...my friend in my loneliness, my solace in my pain and my one stop solution to all problems. I wrote to vent out. I wrote to shed tears. I wrote to express joys. I wrote to hope...to live...to dream...

I had always been more of an observer, and the rain washed roads or the golden sunsets perfectly found their places within the pages of my diary, and I gave my soul to each little creation that was thus born.

Creating a personal blog has always been a dream. After repeated successful attempts of procrastination, and a lot of trepidations and contemplations, I am finally here....at my own little world, and I welcome you with all my heart. I hope you enjoy reading my little creations as much as I love writing them.

So, 'what to expect here'...right???

Basically, Aquarians are weird unpredictable creatures, so are their blogs. One day, it might be a poetry speaking of 'how the azure sky reminded her of her sweetheart's eyes' (I get overly romantic at times...bear with me.) and the very next day it could be a short story on mental health, or some anti smoking awareness...or, merely some motivational tips to move on after a break up. Sounds crazy???...well, there is a reason why it is named as 'RANTINGS OF A WANDERING MIND'....

HAPPY READING!!!
