Thank you. Are you based in Kolkata currently?<BR/><BR/>I have read all your post and look forward to more. For myself, I try and write virtually everyday because I believe that is what I was supposed to do all my life but sadly I need to earn a living and work as a Consultant.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>TanmoyTanmoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472125805572571597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-46439078253919444782008-11-27T08:44:00.000+05:302008-11-27T08:44:00.000+05:30Thanks, Subhanjan.

I am delighted to know you and about your interests. Keep reading literature. (I don't mean my stories!) Those who have never read literature are like those who haven't seen the sun rising. <BR/><BR/>I am proud that my story telling reminds you of your grandfather. I make it a point to go out of my way to meet elderly people and listen to their stories. Every elderly person is an oral historian in a way. We have much to learn from them. Maybe, I would write about a grandma and an uncle of mine, sometime.Santanu Sinha Chaudhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062744470522359652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-12920676496721515902008-11-26T23:53:00.000+05:302008-11-26T23:53:00.000+05:30Dear Sir,I am Joydeep and I got to know about your...Dear Sir,<BR/><BR/>I am Joydeep and I got to know about your blogsite from Suvro Sir's blog. After reading nearly all the posts in this site, I couldn't resist writing back to you, although my comment is not pertinent to any particular post of yours. A little self-introduction shall not be entirely out of context here: I did my schooling from St. Xavier's, Durgapur, and then graduated in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology (formerly known as R.E.C.) at the same place. Since the past two years, I am working as a software engineer ('cybercoolie' would be the more appropriate designation) in a firm in Bangalore. I have a strong liking for reading and writing, and though my work schedule doesn't permit me to do justice to the latter avocation, I do read as much as I can, if I say so to myself.<BR/><BR/>Having said this, I would like to congratulate you for your extremely coherent, thoughtful and interesting blog posts. You have a simple, yet powerful way of writing things, be it in the form of a memoir, or a travelogue or an anecdote. There's something about these short stories which you recount that pleasantly reminds me of the little pieces of incidents told to me by my grandfather, who spent his entire working career in the rural areas of Bihar, and had a potful of real stories to narrate after his retirement. The only grudge that I hold against your blogsite is that you don't write much, and I shall be eagerly waiting for your posts from now on.<BR/><BR/>May Lord keep you in the best of health and spirits. I don't have any blogsite, but you can always reach me at joydeep4u@gmail.com. Take care and good bye.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Joydeep.Joydeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002902225511574873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-40745143541453991042008-11-25T11:24:00.000+05:302008-11-25T11:24:00.000+05:30Manjari is in the latest hit - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane N...Manjari is in the latest hit - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. I was taken aback by the fact that you had really met her. The movie is a good one and a must-see for any teenage lover.Subhanjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754980269154740990noreply@blogger.com
