About Me
You're most likely to find me inside a book or a coffee mug.
The Personal Side
So, what can I say about myself?
Hi! I am Rubina. I was born in Jan 1995, and I am from India.
My forefathers belong to West Bengal and Bangladesh, so I am a Bengali (though I can't read or write Bengali - Oops!).
I was born into a Roman Catholic family, making me a Christian (though I wouldn't say I am a strict Christian; Jesus and Mother Mary are more like my friends).
I was born and brought up in Delhi, and I'm now residing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
I am a Capricorn, an INFJ, an empath, an introvert (more of an extrovert forced into introversion).
I am a recovering people-pleaser - still working on it.
I have been in the doom pit of depression. So when I say I know how it feels, know that I speak from personal experience, and I have the capacity and ear to understand you.
I love coffee, and I haven't found anyone who makes better coffee than me.
I am a Marvel fan. (Are you!?😍)
I am also into Egyptian pharaohs and mummies, supernatural and rebirth.
I love Golden Retrievers and will bring one home someday. (Fingers crossed!)
I am an avid reader since 2007. I love spending my time lost in the world of books.
My favourite genres are Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, and Crime genres. I sometimes do dip my fingers in Science-Fiction and Historical Fiction. You can also find me reading non-fiction books that I hope will help me become a better human and writer.
Therefore, I buy books as if I am immortal.
The Professional Side
May 2014 was when I realised I wanted to be a writer and author. Since then, I have been through quite some ups and downs, and 2021 is the year I finally gave myself permission to write. You can find me at Rubina's Bojra.
As I am approaching the 10-year-anniversary, I look back at my writing journey and realise the most crucial lesson a writer can learn is that it's less about what to write and how to write and more about becoming the person who writes for life satisfactorily.
My goal with my newsletter (Rubina's Bojra), my books (Soul Writer vs. Social Writer), and my podcast (Becoming A Writer) is to let my fellow writers know that they can write and have a fun time doing it. I want to help other lost, confused, frustrated writers connect with their writer soul and enjoy every writing session.
We writers are meant to write freely, write fearlessly, and write forever. Al, we have to do figure out what kind of writer we are and fully embrace it.
I hope you do stick around and we become friends!
