Hi there! 4 years ago when I started this blog, I was into hardcore fitness and blogging. Since then, a lot has changed and I thought it was time for an Introduction 2.0

Bio

My name is Akshita and I’m from Kolkata (currently put up in Gurgaon). I love socialising and meeting new people. I enjoy reading occasionally and adventures excite me. I am currently taking baby steps towards an active and healthier lifestyle.

What I do

I’m working full-time as an Actuarial Analyst. If I had to explain what actuaries do in one sentence- we measure the probability and risk of future events and model them. There are a total of 15 exams which are conducted twice in a year. I have cleared 11/15 and I am really close (and excited) to becoming a fully qualified actuary.

My Favourites

• Book: The power of your subconscious mind
• Food: Dosa
• Place: London, Greece (both being my dream destinations)
• TV show: FRIENDS
• Dessert: Cheesecake
