Ruma ChakrabortyRuma is a senior English faculty in a premium institution in Kolkata. Teaching is both a profession and a vocation for her. It is but one of the hats donned by her. An amateur painter, a budding poet and a compulsive story-teller, currently she is in the process of writing a compendium of short stories and poems. An alumna of Loreto School, St.Xavier’s College and Calcutta University, an intrepid traveller; a typical ‘Bangali’ in matters of food; an example of the argumentative Indian; an inquisitive learner to boot – she is the quintessential Renaissance woman.
