Spanish-Bengali Connection

It's my great honour to be a part of a renowned Argentinian literary magazine Lak-berna as a poet. On 10th January, they published their 10th edition where they published my own Bengali poems with the Spanish translations(the translation was also done by me). I felt honoured to see my poems with Spanish authors and poets like Santiago Ocampos, Anne-Marie Labra Muniz. The site address is :

For the fourth consecutive year, I participated and worked in recently happened Kolkata International Book Fair: 2012 in the foreign pavilion ( stall named Latin America) and also worked in the stall named "Peru: 100 years discovery of Machu Picchu". With my friends and teachers, I engaged to show and explain about Spanish & Latin American musics, cultures, geography, history through our music CD, DVDs, translated books, Spanish text books, dictionaries, history books ( mainly translated into Bengali) like "Los Comentarios Reales", "Popol Vuh" " Handbook of Che", "The Green Diary of Che" etc. This year like last year book fair, many renowned and professors visited our stall including the stall of Peru ( Prof. Jose Paz again came to us with his vast knowledge and humor.) 

AS A Spanish Guide

Me with Maria & Cecilia

At Mother House

This is second time on 18th January, 2012 I worked as a Spanish Guide in Kolkata with two Argentinian ladies who have fond of Indian cultures ( foods, dresses, literature- specially Tagore's poems). We discussed all about Argentinian musics and the influence of Indian music in their music genres. They visited the main tourist spots like Victoria Memorial Hall, Saint Paul's Cathedral, Mother Teresa House, including Coffee House and College Street Book shops which gave them a great pleasure to see the Asia's biggest book market in Kolkata. They were impressed by the warmth of Kolkatans.  It's always good opportunity to work with the Spanish speakers not from Spain, but from Latin America, whose pronunciation and culture differ much from Spain.

This is second time in Lucknow where I worked in same venue ( CMS ) in 12 th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World as Spanish interpreter. The conference was held from 9th-13th December, 2011 where the Chief Justices from Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Benin, Burkina Faso etc participated in the conference and gave their valuable speeches on 51C article and the application of child's security laws in their own countries. They gave interview in local TV channels, even participated in interactive sessions with the school kids. So I had to do ample task with them. I did interpretation during TV interviews, simultaneous interpretation in the box and read their speech in English to students and other guests. Even, I worked on the first day as the French interpreter also for Benin's guests as the number of French interpreters was less than they required. This is a lifetime experience u to my career.
