Hi this is Chinmoy Guha

I teach English literature at Calcutta University. I edited the book reviews of a well-known journal for ten years. I taught French at Alliance Française for a decade and worked as Director of Publications at the French Embassy, New Delhi. I have written a few books of essays including one on T S Eliot, and attempted to translate among other things La Rochefoucauld's Maxims. My best moments were spent with family and friends. My father was my idol. I am hurt by insincerity and ingratitude.

Forthcoming book: an album of translations of Jacques Prévert. Forthcoming article: apart from the column Ghumer Darja Thhele in Robbar, a major article on Romain Rolland's explosive journal of Vézelay, published in France by Bartillat in 2012 in Ei Samai (TOI).

I am so happy to discover a new style since I was requested to begin a new column in Robbar in January 2013 by Rituparno Ghosh. Ghumer Darja Thhele has enabled me to look into the mirror. I warmly thank the countless readers from different parts of West Bengal and even from all across the globe. If you don't get the hard copy, you can find it online by simply clicking Robbar.
