Biography

I studied literature because I wanted to understand life and the world through literature and philoshopy. For the same reason I also wanted to become a professor of literature. I have been associated with various literary movements since my college life. Especially in the little magazine movement of Bengal. My poems, stories and essays have been published for the past 25 years in various mediums including little magazine. I have been editing a little magazine named SURMOS for the last ten years. I am also editor of free thinking periodical named KOTHA-POROMPARA. I like the company of young fellow, their thoughts stimulate me alltime. In my academic part I have completed PhD on Bangla Sociolinguistics. Apart from literature and language, there is special interest in history, culture and ancient artifacts. In all, thirty-five books have been published. Among them seventeen books of poetry, two novels, one book of stories, one book of essays and the rest are research-based. My poems have also been translated into English and Manipuri languages. Several articles have been published on my poetry by literary persons. I like traveling and Traveled to India, Turkey, Japan, China and UK. `Na Cheri Na Chandramallika’ (‘The illusion of cherries and chrysanthemums’) has published a travelogue on Japan travel. I love human, I love different cultures.
