eCommerce consultant by profession, I am an avid foodie and travel addict. Places with heritage value or natural beauty and small eateries popular locally are subjects on which I love to blog. I love to communicate with locals and find out stories wherever I visit. Though I do not consider myself a serious photographer, I love clicking pictures and share them along with my stories.

Whenever I get some time, I contribute to Wikipedia, mostly editing articles and adding relevant pictures. I contribute my pictures to Wikimedia Commons too. For the past five seasons I am attending the Wikipedia Takes Kolkata photo scavenger hunt. I was the organiser of the last one. Read my posts on the third and fourth seasons.

I love cooking and mixing recipes to create something new. I have won several pan India food blogging competitions for my innovative recipes.

100WikiDays

[edit]

To challenge myself I have participated in 100 Wiki Days and the subjects of my first attempt were heritage places, notable women and local food. I wrote the articles in Bengali Wikipedia. Unfortunately I had to abandon the challenge after 95 days as I was travelling in no internet zone.

Details and progress of the challenge can be seen [here]

100WikiDays II

[edit]

I have started the challenge for the second time. This time I will be writing articles for both English and Bengali Wikipedia. The subject would be Notable Women in Sports.

UNESCO Challenge

[edit]

I participated in the [UNESCO Challenge] and won the special prize given by the Swedish National Heritage Board.

Unfortunately as I was travelling in a no internet zone, I could not update my total points and missed the top 10 listing although I had the required points. Hoping to make it in the coming challenges :D

Blog

[edit]

I blog about heritage, travel, food and photography here
