A Minute Away.....


This is one of my favourite pictures of Anupam Roy - not because I clicked it, but because I got to click it at a moment when he wasn't aware that he was being clicked, when he was just about to enter the stage and reach out to all those people out there who were calling out his name, and while he was standing there, quiet and calm, eyes reading the moment outside, listening to the chanting, and maybe, listening to something inside his heart as well.

The Beginning of A Story: Anupam Roy On The Novel Path


Okay, so I JUST HEARD this !!! And of course, as all my friends and readers on my other blog already know, am a crazy book lover, so this one is definitely a very exciting news for me!!!!

So what's the news?

Anupam Roy has started working on a novel.....whoa whoa whoa! (And just to let you know, I'm going to flex all my charms and influence and the like to get my hands on the FIRST signed copy! You may happily go for the second, third and so on.....!!!)

 For those of you who can't read the Bengali script, here's what it says, in an English translation as well as I could: (the exact Bengali is also shared at the bottom of the post in the english script)

'Anupam Roy is working on a new novel at home. ''I'm trying to write it by breaking away from the typical Bengali language and the typical novel style. Just started. Let's see how it goes.''

Though the name isn't decided yet, Anupam regrets he isn't able to write it in a serialised manner (or something that can be adapted to a serial?) sorry I couldn't get that translation correct.

'' I'm writing as and when I'm getting the inspiration, else it gets stuck.  Right now it's in that 'stuck' phase. Let's see when it gets over'' says Anupam.

 Wow.....and now, the bengali in english script....

'Upanyashik Anupam!

The Anupam Roy Band: Aka The Chilled Out Band


So over the years I've met a few people who are part of the music industry. Most of them are in the Hindi music industry and are either individual artists or part of a band.
Knowing the guys from The Anupam Roy Band has been a different kind of a revelation though - of course they are the first, and as yet, the only band/artists I know or have interacted with from the 'Bengali' music world.....
