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.
The Crime Writers Festival is back with its second edition on 21st March at the Storyteller Bookstore from 11 am to 7:30 pm.
I’ll be moderating the panel on ‘Books to Screen – Between the lines and the lens’ with director Jaydeep Mukherjee, actress Ananya Chatterjee and screenwriter Padmanabha Dasgupta as panelists, 6:30 pm onwards.
Please join us for an interesting, informative and intriguing session.
I’ll be moderating the panel ‘Books to Screen’ with actor Ananya Chatterjee, director Joydip Mukherjee, and scriptwriter Padmanabha Dasgupta on 21st March at the Storyteller Bookstore, Picnic Garden from 6:30 p.m.
I hope to see book and cinema lovers in large attendance at the Crime Writers Festival (2nd Edition).
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.
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.

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.
Kolkata is having its first crime writers festival on the 29th of March at the Storyteller Bookstore, Picnic Garden from 2 to 7 p.m. I’ll be a part of the panel discussion on the topic “In Agatha Christie’s footsteps” from 4:45 p.m.
Heartfelt gratitude to my publishers Vishal Soni Sir of Vishwakarma Publications and Arup Bose of Srishti Publishers & Distributors.
Join us for some enthralling sessions on crime writing. See you on the 29th.
