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

Word play

The pigeons look a little skewed to the north, this morning. They pick up dabs of fat clouds on their fly pasts and that’s what makes them tilt a bit. I find that it puts gaps in their guuutttur…guutttur… just like I’m doing now. But then, I don’t pick up fat clouds. Silly me.

Someone threw the word vociferous across the table to me. I caught it in the middle, at ‘fer’ and was wondering what to do with it when someone said ferment and I threw it over to him. Really, ferment? Doesn’t it have a nasty taste and smell to it. I mean, why couldn’t it have been fervor or fertile. So much nicer.

It must be the crazy weather. I find that I have words like mayhem and dripping sticking to me. Can’t seem to get them off me. Why?

Why can’t I say the word rendezvous without waiting for a knock on the door? Or why do I feel a sense of sadness at the innocence of my right toe nail ? Sometimes I find the strangest things in my stream of thoughts as they whoosh around in my head. When I pick out one it kicks and screams and struggles and I have to put it back. Damn…
