About me

Gender Female
Location Kolkata, India
Introduction I'm a recently graduated student of Animation pursuing Advanced Character Animation in Animation Mentor.Growing up I was heavily influenced by the Japanese Anime/Manga culture though I never seriously thought I'd pursue this proffesion.I usually display 2 sides of my personality. People who know me they get exasperated at how talkative I can be! My mother has given up hope!lol..however I'm a bit shy around new people.I'm not someone who likes to party or visit crowded places unless it's an amusement park!! Love them!! I usually don't care if people are judgmental about me but I care immensely if it's about those I love. People who know me know that I am one half of the Laurel-Hardy duo of myself and my best friend Anush. We just realised while other people live to eat/sleep/procreate. we only eat and laugh...and laugh we do!! I feel laughter is truly the best medicine. Also I dislike shallowness in people. I believe in living and let living. Lastly, I try follow the example set by my parents ,caring and helping those in need. So yeah...my motto is to live a life positively. *Ok.I guess..I just started getting carried away by my rants-guess my shyness evaporates quite quickly 0.o*
Interests Reading books, sketching fanart, watching anime, Animation, Japanese Language and culture, listening to music, collecting quotes, cooking....
Favorite Movies Hmmm...My all time favourites which I grew up watching are Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, My fair lady and all Disney Movies...Basically I like Slice of Life, Comedy(good not the slapstick ones, Action and Horror sometimes (I'm a major scaredy cat *wraps self with blanket and peeks out* I like all animation movies. I have to mention a film which really touched me with its sheer simplicity and brilliance...Kikujiro(non animated)..it's a must watch. Others ..Finding Nemo, My big fat Greek Wedding, Padosan, Man in the Iron Mask, etc.
Favorite Music Instrumentals. Love Ludovico Einaudi's compositions. anything that touches me though nothing loud and metal.
Favorite Books Ah.. My favourite section. I love reading. Give me any interesting article and I'll read. I may not have read the usual Enid Blyton's growing up (though I liked the Brer Rabbit series) I love non-conventional stories. I liked tragic heroes. I liked Wuthering Heights over Pride and Prejudice and 'To Kill a mockingbird' is a bible by which I swear. I've loved all the text I've read in English classes in my school favoring Imp and the Crust(Tolstoy) and Macbeth. I was disappointed with the ending books of Harry Potter, had provided enough fodder for my dreams in my teens. It's a shame author Stieg Larsson died for I fell hook line and sinkers for the Millenium series. Aprt from those I really like my native language books of Pather Panchali and works by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay. In the end I'm just a big bookworm who has started infecting Kindle already!
