I write essays about Life💕, Writing🖋️, Creative Life☕, Books📚, Movies🍿, and occasional Short Stories📜

I was born in Jan 1995, which makes me 26 years old when writing this.

I am from India.

My forefathers belong to West Bengal and Bangladesh, so I am a Bengali (though I can't read or write Bengali - Oops!).

I was born in a Roman Catholic family, making me a Christian (though I wouldn't say I am a strict Christian; Jesus and Mother Mary are more like my friends).

I was born and brought up in Delhi, and I'm now residing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

I am a Capricorn, an INFJ, an empath, an introvert (with a dash of extroversion).

I am recovering people-pleaser - still working on it.

I have been in the doom-pit of depression. So when I say I know how it feels, know that I speak from personal experience, and I have the capacity and ear to understand you.

I love coffee, and I haven't found anyone who makes better coffee than me.

I am a Marvel fan. (Are you!?😍)

I am also into Egyptian pharaohs and mummies.

I love Golden Retrievers and will bring one home someday. (Fingers crossed!)

I am an avid reader since 2007. I love spending my time lost in the world of books.

My favourite genres are Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Crime genres. But that doesn't mean I don't read other genres. I sometimes do dip my fingers in Science-Fiction and Historical Fiction.

And I buy books as if I am immortal.

May 2014 was when I realised I wanted to be a writer and author. Since then, I have been through quite some ups and downs, and 2021 is the year I finally gave myself permission to write. You can find me on Substack > Rubina's Bojra.

My goal with this newsletter is to share my thoughts and stories.

They will be about life, creativity, writing, books, movies - things that have impacted my life. I hope that you will find some use in them - a hope, some inspiration, entertainment, the realisation that you're not alone.
