An ardent lover of Bengali music, Indranil Roy manages to do it all – teaching, writing, and even singing.

Indranil Roy is extremely introverted, contrary to the image that he has among my friends and students. His life changed ever since he started his journey as a teacher about fourteen years back. Every day he learned something new from the kids. Their novel approach to life bemuses him.
