I’m Sharmila [Aries , 26th March] born in Andharmanik - p. s. Baduria - 24 Pragana(North) - India. Studied in many different countries as my father is in the ministry of foreign affairs. Started schooling in Pakistan(Karachi) - that school was a nightmare, very - very strict. Class 7, 8, and 9 did in Italy(Rome) - wonderful ! both school and places. Enjoyed every day of our stay. Did 11 and 12 in South Africa(Durban) - very memorable year of my life, absoluately beautiful. Did my graduation from New Delhi University(corresponding). Recently opened my own boutique.

In my Boutique - I love to create patch work on “kurtas” which gives it a fresh look.

Beside creating  new designs - i love photography, music, traveling, poetry, books and rain.

In music - i love 70s & 80s hindi songs. My Favourites - R.D.Burman - Gulzar ji (they form a GREAT combination), Hemanto Mukhopadhyay, Lata ji. I also love “Rabindro Sangeet” - nothing can be so soothing n mesmerizing.

I love Italy (Rome) - i would love to go there again. Love the architacture - people - food - weather … actually everything about Rome is simply “wow”. At that point of time i was not interested in photography- otherwise i would have some great picture of Rome and Venice.

My Bengali is not so good - still i love to read Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay (his descriptions are superb), Satyajit Ray (but read only translated version - i only thought him a great director but he was a excellent writer too). Anita Nair, Ruskin Bond, R. K. Narayana (my all time favourite),Vikram Seth.

I love to write poems - i get inspired by rain or monsoon season. Every thing looks so fresh and so romantic… i just love it.
