My photos in Unesco site

Recently, one of my students told me about the photography contribution of World heritage sites in UNESCO website, which actually helps economically the old heritage sites of a country. As I've a habit to travelling the ancient cities of my country to take photos, to write articles of their history, architecture and culture of that time, I took the opportunity to share my experience with UNESCO.
Me as a photographer
 So, I asked them that I wish to contribute with my photos on world heritage sites of India. They are truly friendly and passed me all information for the procedure and accordingly, I sent some of my selected photos of Mahabalipuram caves and Kanchipuram temple statues of our Hindu Gods and Goddesses with captions. They honored me by publishing all these photos on 22nd October in the UNESCO site. Dear friends, here I'm sharing the site link so that you can see those worldly treasures.

Again with Algerian guests

Since 2012 I'm working with a Howrah-based electrical equipment company Asbesco who works with Algeria since long. This mid-September, the Algerian electrical giant Cameg sent a team of inspectors for their internal testing of products of Asbesco which they take from Asbesco.

Three young enthusiastic engineers came to visit the site and as usual I'm their official translator for 4 days staying in  Kolkata. The test procedures are well-known even to me as I've the previous experience with Asbesco. So, we finished our scheduled testings within 3 days with satisfactory results and the last days we roamed around the city for having some taste of local dishes and buying local-made clothing which are hardly available in that north African state. We also visited some tourist places like Victoria Memorial. But, what made me happy is to meet with Mr. Amino who is not only an engineer but a talented music composer and singer in Algers. I was lucky to listen to some of his compositions at hotel lounge. The other two guests also sang during every dinner which seemed that some friends met after a long time. Formality was thrown into dust after first day's office visit. This is one of my unforgettable interpretation experience.
