My mother was a history teacher and since my childhood, her stories on Indus Valley Civilization, King Porus demanding respect from Alexander, the wisdom of Akbar the Great, humility of Aurangzeb, the betrayal of Mir Jafar during the battle of Plassey, and many others fascinated me. As I was a student of science, I did not get the opportunity to explore the wonders of the past but I strongly feel that young people should be groomed in history. It is out of that urge that I have written short pieces on individuals or events that made an imprint and shaped our history. I hope I can get through to people with my dream of spreading knowledge through my writings. Happy reading!

I have been deeply involved with Stay Curious since its inception in December 2019. The simple narrative style of Stay Curious attracts many. This simplicity of presentation is a unique characteristic of Stay Curious. I sometimes write on various topics such as history, travel, and even about myself. Besides, I also write on cyber-security, but those are mostly academic. I try to focus more on the presentation style of my writings. I do experiments on various narrative techniques in my pieces. Interesting?

We would like to see your active presence on Stay Curious. We also look forward to reading your writings on this fascinating platform too!

I was never into writing until recently when I realised that I’m not as bad as I thought myself to be. It’s always stressful before I write a piece. Putting my ideas together and gathering appropriate information is a hassle, but when I actually get to work, it acts a stress reliever for me and I enjoy it thoroughly. . From a young age, I have been taught to find pleasure in reading about history, but I never got into it until very recently. I hope more people enjoy reading about history as much I do.

Being an introvert, writing feels like the most peaceful and easiest means of communication. Penning down my thoughts makes it more convenient to share a piece of my mind with others. Thus, I always resort to writing whenever I can. Working for this platform has given me the opportunity to write more, and I thoroughly enjoy it.

History has always been a matter of fascination for me. Something about connecting to the past and reliving the moments has always been a source of attraction for me. Stay Curious is a platform that has enabled me to materialize this hobby of mine into a working experience and I am truly enjoying every part of it. From Babur establishing what was to become one of the greatest  Empires which would last a good 700 years to the cultural enrichment Nawab Wajid Ali Shah brought to Bengal, it has been an absolutely amazing experience so far. Many a great feat can be achieved by exploring the halls of history, and Stay Curious is just the right place for you!

History is not made by us but our very existence is a result of it. The learning curve should never go flat so never stop asking questions, for curiosity has its own reasons for existing. Always stay curious!

I’ve been deeply involved with the concept of Stay Curious since its inception and to see all our creative thoughts and work materialize into a “go-to website for historical metadata” is of immense pleasure to me. I like to think of myself as a multipotentialite with a hand French literature, another in learning Deutsche and a keen fondness of art however history with its many fascinations has always been one of my core interests. For as long a I can remember, I have been an avid reader of books and on a free day you’d be sure to find me watching a 3 hour long documentary on how a simple village boy, Temujin, transformed the mightiest Mongol to ever live, Genghis Khan. Events of the past never fail to put me in awe as I wonder through its mysteries.

Stay Curious is a platform where I can pen down my thoughts and present a whole picture of undistorted history to the world and so far the journey has been highly rewarding and altogether amazing.

I have been addicted to reading books since my childhood. When I first wrote for Stay Curious and the readers loved it, I was filled with joy. Stay Curious is a platform where history is presented in such a fluent and captivating way that it seems to unfold before my eyes, as if I were a part of that history.

History helped me realize that who we are is the outcome of a dynamic process, rather than some stagnant destiny. All identities are crafted and all narratives are constructed. Nothing is ever what it seems, be it personal, national, or global.

I’ve had a strong interest in learning English since I was a kid, thus I’m very fond of writing and reading. I like learning about history that is often not included in popular history books but definitely deserves the spotlight. As I am a history enthusiast, I always look forward to sharing such interesting knowledge with today’s youth on a platform that is easily accessible.
