About Me
THE JOURNEY SO FAR
MY FAMILY
SOME OF MY PASSIONS
Meeting random strangers and getting to know their stories…
Visiting teachers, friends and their parents from my long past just to thank them…
Indian music and Tabla from when I was a teenager
Started running at 39 years
Learnt mixology at 45 years
Spending time with hospice patients ever since I turned 49
Learnt motorbiking at 51 years
Started boating at 55 years
Traveling the world with family… 53 countries and counting
Writing in general… with fountain pens in particular… pen friends from over the world
Picking up some new skills from time to time… not without its own share of failures
Reading books and write reviews… but of some particular genres though
What I look forward to everyday – sitting at a bar with our dog after an evening walk
WHAT I DON’T GET EXCITED BY
Regarding what I am not or what I do not like, you may want to contact my wife for a longer list. But I know for a fact that I am not a movie buff (for whatever reason, I cannot sit down and watch a movie) nor watch TV at all and I am somewhat too much of a disciplinarian when it comes to how I will spend my time. I always have a list 🙂 (and crop circles!!) I put a lot of premium on getting to know people. I dread and avoid large gatherings where I can never have a meaningful discussion with anybody. Of course, my wife would summarize the above observations as being boring, pretentious and awkward. “Quirky” is the way she describes me. Maybe she has a point 🙂
ON THE WORK FRONT
Rajib,
I like the new site. The layout is clean. Cool without a lot of clutter.
Meeting you was truly inspiration. I have been yearning for a good role model. Now, like Eklavya, I will use this website as my THE beacon for practical and useful advice.
Hi Rajib, the site is great. So much to learn from you. I am fortunate to have a friend like you. Keep it up. Best wishes.
Avijit, thank you so much!! I absolutely miss our Durgapur days!!!
Hi Rajib,
Did you pass out in 1983 from SXS? Keep going as usual.Best wishes.
Indeed, Arijit!
A wonderful record of life, which will give you satisfaction, when you turn back. Observing children carefully gives us lot of happiness. They are our riches. They are our memories. Our Joy.
Wonderful memories keeping as a book give you lot of satisfaction when you turn back after sometime. Playing with children and observing them is a great thing and enjoying the family, many cannot do these days, good job. Children are our riches, joy and pleasure.
Rajib – good job on the nice blog. I wonder where do you get the time to write so well !
BTW – the pics are from an iPhone or from any Android phone – they always seem to be turn out so well in all the lighting conditions.
Rajib,
I like this new look at your website. And I just noticed you took up the 100 mile each month as well. That is what I did in 2013. Need to start that back , now that i have gained 9 extra pounds.
Keep writing.. It is fun to read.
Cheers – Raghu

You have your autobiography almost written. You can add in few more details and you can publish it.
Thank you Samantha! I need to add a section on the skateboarding some time..

I share the affinity ofeeting random people and engaging in meaningful conversation….my observation thus far is people are far more alike than different, despite what our eyes and biases would tell us. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you in person and through the birds eye view via your facebook.
Adam, I concur with your observation. That is invariably where I land too as I meet people from various walks of life in our trips to different countries.

I am feeling jealous, I am a 14-year-old freelancer who left school and spends 90% time sitting with pc with my family, At my age the kids play and I do this But I hope my future will be brighter than playing one. Nice COntet
Thank you!
