Javier Velarde & Asesh Ray
As a member of Indo Latin American Association and of Spanish Study Centre, Dum Dum, I participated and worked for the first time in 2009 in America Latina stall in Kolkata International Book fair. That time, the ambassador of Cuba( in India) was our chief guest for launching translated books ( from original Spanish to Bengali). This year also, I worked there though whole two week long book fair.This year, famous professor Jose Paz visited our stall and changed the ambiance with his emphatic personality and songs. The 2nd February was the busiest day for us, as the Peruvian ambassador Mr. Javier P. Velarde launched three translated books on that day and also visited the stall. It's a marvellous experience for me.

My Students From Cultural Segment

Indrajit Bhalotia, Golfer

Painter Rathin Kanji
Dancer Keka Majumdar
While teaching, sometimes, I receive calls from well-known artists who are interested to learn either Spanish or French. For their show, they have to go to abroad often and to overcome the communication problem with the non-English speaking audience, visitors and intellectuals, another foreign language is obligatory for them to learn. Such a way, I met a famous Kathak dancer and a painter whom you find in these pictures.

As A Language Teacher

Me & my students in Yield
Though I started my freelancing career as a French translator, then encouraged by my friends and colleagues, I started teaching French & Spanish in two language schools in Kolkata---Yield & English Centre ( New Alipur). Gradually, I teach individually  and even the several groups from various domains like business, medicine, law, accountancy, literature etc. For each and every one, I have make several teaching method as they need their domain-based terms, topics, dialogues. For the children, my teaching method is much more different than that. Here you can find the places where I teach and some of my students.

As The French Interpreter




Foreign Delegates in CJ 2010


Dalai Lama with the delegates
The year 2010 was an awesome experience for me while I was working in the 11th International Conference of World Chief Justices (11th December-13th December), Lucknow. From 92 countries, 358 participants came to that event. I was thrilled when I was informed to interpret first the peace speech of Dalai Lama on the very first day of the conference. His presence on the stage inspired me so much that with ease I continued to interpret for French speaking African delegates from Madagascar, Gabon, Cameroon, Tchad and above all for the French delegations.
