Dr. Adrita Ray feels that her profession is very demanding and one should be mentally prepared before getting into it.

Dr. Adrita Ray was born and brought up in Kolkata. She is presently undergoing training in a government hospital and is also following her passion as a food blogger.

Adrita did her schooling from South Point School, Kolkata. She gave both Engineering and Medical entrance examinations and finally decided to get into the medical field. She did her MBBS from the Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, also known as the SSKM Hospital.

Adrita says that she never had any issues when seeing a cadaver in her initial years as a student. She says that one has to be emotionally strong to be a doctor as doctors have to face cases like rapes and child deaths daily. She says that government hospitals often have resource limitations as they have to cater to a huge population and hence everything has to be managed properly.

Adrita shares that she has always been a creative person and needed a creative outlet for her thoughts. She used to go out and click pictures of food and dishes and one day just posted it casually on her Instagram page. Slowly, she grew interested in the field and also started getting followers. She also reads a lot of books whenever she gets time.

Talking about her achievements, Adrita says that getting her medical degree and professional registration number were big moments for her. Also, when she gets a good response to her posts and people ask her for advice, she gets a sense of achievement.

Adrita says that we should learn from every mistake of ours and try to better ourselves. We should always remember that there are people who are less fortunate than us and hence we should always count our blessings and keep moving in life.

Adrita thinks that the Covid pandemic changed everything for everyone. During the first wave, everyone was scared as it was a new virus. She had to get acquainted with wearing a PPE kit and examining patients in it. The second wave was a terrible one according to her. She says that many people lost their lives and it was a very sad sight to see. People were also skeptical of Covid patients. Some helped them while others maintained their distance.

Her Success Mantra in life is to never have regrets. She thinks that whatever happens in life teaches us something valuable.

Adrita feels that a true leader is one who motivates people and always pushes them to do something great in life.

Adrita advises the medical aspirants to enjoy what they are doing. It is a tough field to come into and one should be prepared for the future. For food bloggers, she says that creating good content is necessary. Honesty is also important and we should be wary of paid reviews as they are unethical.

In her free time, Adrita likes watching Netflix, reading books, and listening to music.
