I am thrilled to announce the arrival of my new book in Bengali ‘Satyajiter Nayak Uttam Kumar’. Every aspect of Satyajit Ray’s timeless 1966 film ‘Nayak’ (The Hero) has been discussed.

Delighted to share the arrival of my new book ‘Akida Samagra’. I’m grateful to Ananda Publishers Private Limted for their constant encouragement in helping me establish a detective character in Bengali teenage literature.

27th of December 1974. Calcutta.
A Bengali film for children is released.
The name: ‘Sonar Kella’ (‘The Golden Fortress’).
Fifty years later, on the date of release of the film, I am delighted to share that an essay by me delves into the reason of the magic of the film.

Delighted to share that a sci fi story of mine in Bengali featured in SANDESH - a children’s magazine revived by Satyajit Ray in 1961.
The story is about ET who subtly attack the minds of children and their means of escape!

The unsung artists of West Bengal.

While Durga Puja draws near, the pandal-makers with their team of non-descript artists, work feverishly to present their work which apparently transient is actually eternal.

@GhoshAmitav This is bad and very disturbing!

@MridulDirector @duttsanjay @daliptahil @BuddhadevVarun @Chandraunshuh @ActorKamil @AshGowariker @TSeries @NetflixIndia One of the loveliest and charming films of the year so far! I feel all the characters have done full justice to the roles with their well-timed reactions and accurate pauses! The children deserve a special mention and your handling of them was superb! Congrats to the team!

@DalrympleWill Congratulations! This is one of my favourite books! It’s nice to see being translated in other languages.

@DalrympleWill The smile is so philosophical and yet enigmatic! Where are these sculptures now?
