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.

Overwhelmed

I am overwhelmed by the compliments from some of the greatest writers in the world. I thank the legendary French journalist Patrick Poivre PPDA for his special appreciation: "On put aussi assister à un entretien enrichissant avec le Professeur Chinmoy Guha, un polyglotte très érudit installé à Calcutta et qui parle un français aussi limpide que celui des auteurs qu’il traduit.." I thank the legendary Edwy Plenel of Mediapart too. It is nice to be called "the finest model of Francophonie in the world" by Jean-Noël Schifono.
