Swarnalee Dutta

A woman who is trying to improve herself as a person, a mother, a researcher, a learner, a dreamer. At present, me and my amazing husband are growing up with our toddler son. In between, I work as a post doctoral researcher in Microbiology. I sing and I write whenever I feel it from my heart. I keep learning whatever life teaches me. I have a starting problem as in, I am reluctant to take initiative. But whenever I am in the arena (either willingly or pushed), I give in my best.
