He grew up in a large middle-class Bengali 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 Bangla. Graduated from St.Xavier’s College at Kolkata. Later qualified from premier finance institutes and served various organisations in various capacities including as an auditor. Since teenage days has written innumerable short stories, essays and poems in English and Bengali and a few of them were published in various online and offline mags like Muse India, Pubali, Jellybean Junction et Cetra. The author’s maiden short story collection titled “Floating Towel and a dozen short stories” has been published and acclaimed by readers. And in a short span, the second book "Mirror of Time - an Anthology of poems" highlighting the fresh poems of the poet author has also reached the readers' hands.view less
