Featured in The Statesman newspaper for being a part of the Kolkata Crime Writers Festival

The Statesman was the first English newspaper I read, or rather I was advised to read for a better command over English. To see my name and picture in the same paper for being a part of the Kolkata Crime Writers Festival at Storyteller Bookstore feels surreal. It’s equally wonderful to see both my books, ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’ and ‘Diary, Deceit and Death’ featured prominently in the article.

The article

Baba was so excited that he immediately went out to grab a physical copy of the newspaper. I only wish Ma was still around to share this joy.

Heartfelt gratitude to my literary agent Suhail and The Book Bakers for being a part of my journey as an author. I’m grateful to my publishers – Arup Bose from Srishti Publishers & Distributors and Vishal Soni from Vishwakarma Publications for their continued support in all my bookish endeavours.

Thank you Amrita Di and Mayura for having me.

Glimpses of the Kolkata Crime Writers Festival on 29th March 2025

Kolkata hosted the first Crime Writers Festival today at Storyteller Bookstore. And it turned out to be an evening to remember with some enthralling sessions and a vibrant audience.

It was a pleasure talking about writing crime thrillers.

Thank you, Srishti Publishers & Distributors, Vishwakarma Publications, The Book Bakers for always extending your support and encouraging me

It was lovely meeting a few readers and signing copies of my books for them.

This event gave me an opportunity to interact with the noted director of Bengali movies, Mr. Arindam Sil and I could handover my books personally to him after he expressed an interest in reading them.

Hoping to see more such initiatives in my city.
