I have been involved with the stage theatre for the last 28 years in the UK and India. I have learnt acting skills through my membership in a nuber of theatre groups in Kolkata. Later, I received theatre training in the UK. I follow the teachniques and teachings of Sanford Maisner. I have founded a Bengali Theatre group called ‘NATABAR’ which is active in India and UK. I am also the Artistic Director of the theatre group called Cardiff Theatre which is a project by KIRAN. I am a theatre trainer providing training in LAMDA courses and also Arts Award ‘Gold’ assessor. In the previous years, I have written, acted and directed in the following stage plays:

I am a fiction writer who is experimenting abundance or deprivation of basic human needs on close human relationships. The interactions between my characters are the manifestations of the balance of needs at the individual as opposed to societal level.
Recently I am carrying out a literary project called ‘Crime Fiction – Today and Yester Years’. I was awarded a bursary for this project by Literature Wales as part of the Platforming Under-represented Writers Funding Scheme. The project aims to encourage talented writers from under-represented backgrounds to develop their professional and artistic potential, and to create opportunities to advance their literary career.
