About Me — Chandrika Bhattacharya
If Words didn’t exist already, I would have to invent them.
This introduction is certainly the most different one than I have written in my pieces so far, and duh, certainly the only one so far that is About Me.
So, here it all goes.
I discovered the platform of Medium, some time in the beginning of 2019, and I’m so glad and grateful that I did.
For almost a year, I read, read, and read, until early this year, when I began putting my own words out there.
It is through written words that I have always been able to express myself as truly as possible, and somewhere all along, I knew that I wanted to create something with written words, at some point;
I just didn’t know how or when that would happen;
Until Medium showed me the way.
I think I found Medium at a time in my life when I had to push myself to grow beyond what was already known to me, About Me, and everything else simply followed.
I found (and still continue to find) strength in the words of many Writers on this platform, that helped me to grow into better and stronger versions of myself (and still helps me).
It was somewhere in between learning and growing from reading the works of other Writers out here, and having felt a purpose to share my learnings from my perspective, that I took up writing and publishing consistently since early this year;
I simply write to share thoughts on understanding the world in a way that enables us to live well, and to live simply (Yes, that’s my Short Bio on the Profile anyway);
But, most importantly, I write to share those thoughts to enable everyone who reads my work, to grow into better and stronger versions of themselves;
I hope to create an impact within my readers’ (Yes, you too!) souls, that encourages them to put into action the words I write, just the way I put my learnings to action from reading works that inspired me.
I do not know yet, where this journey will take me, but I intend to keep at it, because part of the fun is in not knowing exactly where it is headed.
I realize that I have never used so many ‘I’s in any of my pieces so far, and here goes a few more of them.
I write on tags such as:
Life
Life Lessons
Self
Self-Awareness
Self-Improvement
Self-Love
Psychology
Emotional Intelligence
Growth
Personal Growth
Personal Development
Relationships
Inspiration
Here is a link to the first piece I published this year:
Here is the link to a piece that’s one of my own favourites:
Here is a link to the piece of mine that recently got published in the Publication — Change Your Mind Change Your Life:
If I was born in a time when written words were not a thing, I’d be the one to invent them to make them a thing;
I’d have to make my way to words, so that they could find their way to me.
That’s all About Me, for now anyway.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering why the picture of the Moon, it is because that’s my namesake;
In my culture, ‘Chandrika’ means Moonlight, and I hold much love and wonder for my namesake.
Now, that finally completes all About Me, for now anyway.
