About Sumita

Sumita considers herself as a writer for all reasons. She has written most of her adult life starting with a book of stories at the age of eleven. After an unsuccessful attempt to get into journalism school Sumita fell head first, into advertising copywriting and that started an affair of a lifetime (at the risk of sounding a tad cheesy). Today Sumita is a not so lean and mean writing machine displaying capabilities in many styles. Check out the offerings on display and do get back to her with your feedback and requests for writing work - sumita@sumitachakrabarty.com

The Myanmar Diaries

Both my parents spent a small part of their childhood in Burma, n.k.a Myanmar. I was there in January 2016 to take a walk through their lives and I did it with a sense of trying to fit myself into what their lives may have...
