Introduction post: me in a nutshell

IMG_1214.JPG

Hi,
I am Ved, a 26 year old dentist trying to find my place in this crazy world. I was born and raised for the most part in Bengal (India), which is known for its rich cultural heritage. I’ve also lived a few years in Southern India where I graduated from a dental school before moving to California, USA.

I love singing and listen to all kinds of music. I’m passionate about travelling and save money to travel as much as I can, and when I do, I capture moments with my iPhone camera because I’m too lazy to learn how to operate a DSLR! I enjoy cooking (and eating) different cuisines, speak 4 languages, worry too much about life (often unnecessarily) and occasionally enjoy either a glass of Napa chardonnay or smoky single malt scotch (depends on my mood). I prefer deep meaningful conversations instead of small talks and hence have a small circle of friends. I took up dentistry as a profession to continue the legacy of my father (who happens to be a popular dentist in my hometown) but someday I want to own an all American diner in Kolkata.

I have been blessed with an amazing family (mom, dad, a younger brother), who I miss a lot as they live back in India. In my down time I hang out with my super smart, devoted, hardworking and very understanding husband - Anindya, eat potato chips or chocolate cake or even go out for a drive. And when none of that really work, I call up my mom because she always has a solution!

So why Steemit? Well, firstly because my good friend @marianaivascu suggested I join. Besides that, I don’t know why I’m doing this... but I love it!

I’m not a professional blogger... I just write whenever the urge hits. In fact it’s my first attempt at writing long posts. I hope I get better at this with time. Meanwhile, I would love to share my experiences, learn from others and connect here at Steemit. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy reading my posts!

Hi Ved, for your first post this worked out pretty well. Welcome to Steemit!

When I arrived on Steemit a few weeks ago I was very confused how this all works. I read through hundreds of articles about the dynamics of Steemit and finally wrote this The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps. I wrote it for YOU. Normally I wouldn't post my links into others comments unasked. But the massive positive feedback from my readers made it my mission to help newcomers finding this post quickly. Feel free to ask any questions. I will try to answer them all. I apologize if you are not interested in this and I will not further disturb you.
