Ipsita Mohanty

PhD Student, Wandering soul, Bibliophile, Foodie

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am Ipsita and my name has its roots in the ancient language of Sanskrit, meaning the most cherished or the desired. Being the first born to my parents, I guess the name was justified (my sister is named Amrita to rhyme with my name, I assure you she is not too happy about this :P). After completing my undergraduate studies in Chemistry, I traveled half way across the world from India to United States to pursue my PhD study.

What I like to do in my limited free time!

  • Reading books (I love reading contemporary Indian writers like Rohinton Mistry, but being a voracious reader I can read anything I lay my hands on)
  • Cooking (A more recent hobby I concede, but my kitchen has seen a few MasterChef worthy dishes πŸ˜€ )
