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.

Chilekothar Unmadini
Chilekothar Unmadini (Ananda Publishers) is reprinted for the 4th time. 3rd reprint of Ahammaker Abhidhan (Gangchil).
Sir, it was an invigorating experience while we used to listen to your lectures on Coleridge and T.S. Eliot, in Calcutta University M.A. English classes. Thanks to a man whose endeavor has always been to create not just good students, but good human beings as well. A perspicacious commentator, a great lecturer, who has an eye for the keenest details....I still remember your work on the 'still point', and Claudel's works, your books, journals and your real-life experiences which encouraged us to move on, in spite of all odds. Thanks for being such a wonderful person... SREETANWI CHAKRABORTY (M.A. English, Batch of 2007-2009)
