My lists don't contain celebrities, mostly. The people I have known- colleagues, students or classmates are present in the list, to which I add regularly. Family members are not in it, for avoiding possible nepotism charges :)
Shrabani, my exec. assistant in JIS University, and her friends - Karanjyot, Sunita Samanta and Debasmita are some I want to add to this list. Very simple, easy-going and affectionate, they were there to celebrate my birthday, and events in their lives. Two got married while I was in Kolkata. I also got a lovely farewell from them jointly. Wonderful experience! Here they are-
Another admirable duo was Sayantani Saha and Ananya Ghosh. I had been meeting Ananya Ghosh for suggesting analysis approaches in her Ph.D. thesis, and discovered that Sayantani, my ex-student, was her friend. We had two great outings and I also cut a cake to say Kabhi alvida na kehna.. to promise we'll keep in touch! Pic from our last meeting at Axis Mall.
