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.

Remembering Eliot
The tribute to Eliot by the 2nd year M.A. (English) students of Calcutta University was a memorable event. Everyone was outstanding. I am sure very few universities of the world--if any-- paid homage to Eliot in this manner.
Great, sir, let us then do it next year under your guidance. Apart from reading Eliot, can we also arrange for reading papers on him? If things go on well, an "Eliot Research Club" may emerge from your Gurukul, sir, which I believe you would relish :)
A shame I missed it. Sir, can we arrange "Reading Eliot" in CU every year on or around 26 September?
ReplyDeleteoh yes! that'd be wonderful.
