Born and raised in Kolkata, I developed a love for writing from my schooldays at Don Bosco Park Circus and continued to nurture that liking right through my college life at St. Xavier’s. But I had never thought about making a career out of it. As it happened, I was never a very serious student and so Science was out of the question and I opted for the second alternative-Commerce and did my B.Com Hon’s. Along with it I also was ranked 2nd in Costing (Inter). That’s when I got bored! I went in for a walk-in-interview and got a job as Management Trainee with Gujarat Ambuja, Kolkata and was placed in their In-house Corporate Communications Department. That was my first brush with advertising and I was lucky to work under a great writer –Joyabrata Chatterjee. After seeing some of my writings, he was the one who encouraged me to make a career in copywriting. That’s when I went for my first ever Copy Test with National Advertising. The number of people who came for the test took me aback. Most were elder to me and I was sure that I didn’t stand a chance. Well, I was in for a pleasant surprise when next week I got a call from the agency saying that I had been selected. That’s how I landed my first job as a Copywriter, and have since then never looked back. During this time I had visions of stardom (like any other young boy). I gave auditions first with Times FM and was selected as an RJ and did some shows with them. Later on I again attended an audition when ETV was launching their Bengali channel in Kolkata. Well, I was chosen and then for the next 6 months I had a rollicking time anchoring a road show for them on Saturdays and Sundays and working from Monday to Friday as a copywriter. (At this time I was working with Radiant Adv., a leading Kolkata agency.) Then came the time when the agency wanted to promote me to the post of Creative Director, Copy and needed my full time. So, I had to make a choice. TV Anchor or Copywriter? I opted for the second one. Glamour took a backseat to my love for writing. Presently with Interpub, Kolkata as Creative Head. I Love Watching Action / Adventure movies (Hindi & English), good comedies and WWF Listening to Indipop, Rock, Hindi Film songs & Bengali Jibanmukhi & Band songs Going for long drives & outings but not a regular disc hopper Reading Compulsive reader-fiction/non-fiction I Am A Die-hard cricket fan Ardent Animal Lover Happy Go Lucky
