About Aparna Ray
Passionate about travel, cultures, people, books and movies, I am a qualitative researcher and social media enthusiast based in Kolkata, India. Blogging since 2005, I love penning my daily English Newsmericks and also occasionally blog in Bangla/ Bengali (my mother tongue) at খোলা জানালা. At Global Voices, I help bring the ongoing conversations in the Bangla blogosphere to the global audience. I also carry back global conversations to the Bangla/ Bengali community by translating select posts from Global Voices into Bangla at Global Voices Bangla Lingua.
