          1.1 About the Author


          Geetashree Chatterjee was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, brought up in Delhi, is a graduate
          from Delhi University. She also holds a Diploma in Personnel Management & Industrial Relations.
          She has worked with the Petroleum & Natural Gas Sector for 22 years (including 13 years in HR).
          She loves listening to Hindustani Classical Music, now; she is an avid listener of music. She is
          also fond of other art forms such as painting, sculpting or dancing.
          She is not exactly a passionate reader; however, particular topics and subjects might compel her
          to read. Like reading, writing was never on her mind. It was not even a hobby or least a passion.
          However, it suddenly happened to her. She just began to express her feelings and experiences on
          paper. Though she has always been intrigued by the beauty of language – be it English, Bengali
          (her mother tongue) or Hindi, writing was not on the cards. However, it began probably as a
          sort of replacement therapy for music.
