What an evening it was as I shared the stage with the stalwarts of the Bengali movie and OTT industry – Ms. Ananya Chatterjee (actress), Mr. Padmanabha Dasgupta (screenwriter) and Mr. Joydeep Mukherjee (Director) at the Kolkata Crime Writers Festival!
It was a real pleasure to moderate the session on ‘Books to Screen’ and hear their success stories along with what goes behind the screens.
My books ‘Diary, Deceit and Death – A Raya Ray Adventure’ published by Vishwakarma Publications and ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ published by Sristhi Publishers are both available at the Storyteller Bookstore, Picnic Garden.Â
I’ll be there tomorrow moderating the panel ‘Books to Screen’ 6:30 p.m. onwards. But I would love to sign a few copies of both the books and hand them over to my readers personally. So come and meet me around 6 p.m. and grab a signed copy of my books.
Join us for an interesting and engaging session as we talk about crime thriller books getting adapted to screen with Ananya Chatterjee (actress), Joydeep Mukherjee (director) and Padmanabha Dasgupta (scriptwriter) on 21st March at the Storyteller Bookstore from 6:30 p.m.

And it’s a wrap! While unavoidable circumstances led to my limited presence at the Kolkata Book Fair this year, I’m grateful to all my friends and readers who picked up the signed copies of my books from Sristhi Publishers Stall and Storyteller Stall.
It was wonderful meeting you Shouvik.
Thank you for the support Srishti Publishers & Distributors Vishwakarma Publications The Book Bakers Storyteller Bookstore
I hope to be back next year at the Book Fair with a new book.
Yesterday was my second year as an author at the International Kolkata Book Fair 2026. I visited the Sristhi Publishers Stall (E-94) where I signed copies of my non-fiction book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ and interacted with a few readers.
The next stop was at the Storyteller Stall (E-95), where I signed copies of both my books – the detective thriller ‘Diary, Deceit and Death’ featuring Raya Ray and the true crime story ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’.
Met and chatted with some of my fellow authors. It was heartwarming to see a few readers who have read all my books drop in to say hi and enquire about what I am writing next.
Team Storyteller captured my journey as an author where I also spoke about both my books, about those who have been my pillars of support in this journey and my thoughts about Kolkata Book Fair this year. The reel is available to view on my Insta page.
Heartfelt gratitude to all my readers, my publishers – Sristhi Publishers and Vishwakarma Publishers, my literary agency – The Book Bakers, and Storyteller Bookstore team.
Signed copies of both the books are available at E-94 and E-95 (both stalls are near Gate no 2). So, go get your copy now and don’t forget to send me a picture.
I’ll be there at the Storyteller Bookstore Stall (E-95, near Gate no. 2) from 7 to 7:30 p.m. signing copies of ‘Diary, Deceit and Death’, meeting and interacting with readers. So if you are in the Kolkata Book Fair premises today, please drop in to say hi.
Tomorrow, 27th Jan, I’ll be at the International Kolkata Book Fair in the Sristhi Publishers Stall (E-94, near Gate no. 2), signing copies of my book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’, meeting readers and interacting with book lovers from 6-7 p.m.
So if you are around, drop in to say hi.
