My formal training is in Economics with a PhD from the M. S. University of Baroda, Gujarat,
where I also taught for some time. Fortunately, I have been able to combine my love of
traveling with academics by presenting at both National and International Conferences
leading to publications at the national and international levels. My passion, however, lies in
music. I have scripted and conducted lecture demonstrations and musical programs based on
Tagore’s work. My association with Antonym has allowed me to share some of my English
translations of Tagore’s letters and memoirs, reaching out to those of his admirers who may
not be familiar with Bengali.
