He grew up in a large middle-class joint- family at Kolkata whose ancestral routes would take readers to a village in Phoridpur and Lahiri Jamindari in Pabna(now both in Bangladesh), and to the town of Berhampore in Murshidabad (India) - not far off from where the Nawab of Bengal once ruled. After graduation in commerce, the author completed the highest professional degrees in Finance while his passion continued to be the eyes and ears of the soil. Occupational necessities made him settle away from the soil into far off corners of the country for many decades. With the passion of a social researcher and a habitual narrator, a capsule of a dozen unique short stories titled “Floating Towel” is launched. The book is a way to reach out to the citizens of Earth and share the landscape of changing times and changing morals of the species and sharing the worries for the future generations to come. The author firmly prays that the saying is disproved - coal doesn't lose its colour while washed. The second book of short stories and poems titled " The Crows’ Nest" is going to be published shortly.view less
