Welcome to my personal blog.
This is my personal blog where I note down things I want to remember: be it the details of a gadget I bought or a movie I liked, but once in a while I will also write a travelogue.
I went to St. Lawrence High School, Ballygunge and thereafter earned my M.B.B.S. degree from North Bengal Medical College, Siliguri, in 2012. After college, I returned home and did my housestaffship from Sambhunath Pandit Hospital, Kolkata, as a Housestaff. After that, I had been doing critical care as well as general practice. Later, I have done MD in Anaesthesiology at Midnapore Medical College. Currently I practice critical care medicine at a corporate multispeciality hospital and anaesthesiology in multiple setups.
In my spare time, I like to read up articles and watch documentaries on science, particularly space science and earth science, both of which have piqued my curiosity since childhood days, when I would be eagerly awaiting the fortnightly science column by Pathik Guha in Anandamela (আনন্দমেলা). I am hooked to a number of popular science channels on YouTube like Vsauce, Veritasium, Kurzgesagt, SciShow, Asap Science. A more recent interest is history, both Indian and world history, which has been rekindled after reading novels by Amitava Ghose, one of my favourite authors. Other than Amitava Ghose, Jhumpa Lahiri is another favourite of mine among the current authors, although I must confess that I haven’t read much fiction in recent years, thanks to digital distraction. I had read voraciously during my school and college years. When not reading up science trivia, I research online for my next trip! While I have not travelled to many places, Darjeeling and Goa remain my all time favourites.
I am a self taught geek and a DIY enthusiast. I have been designing my own websites and fiddling with computers since school days. Check a list of gadgets, gear and apps I use – Stuff I use. I drive myself and wash my own car.
