Personal Life
The books I love, the moments I remember, and the little things that make the journey worthwhile.
A little more about the person behind the papers
Research is an important part of my life, but it is not the whole story. Outside algorithms, papers, and academic discussions, I enjoy the quieter parts of life: reading, travelling, spending time with people, discovering unfamiliar places, and simply noticing the small moments that are easy to miss when life gets busy.
Academic life has also meant moving through different environments and meeting people from different backgrounds. Those experiences have made me appreciate curiosity not only as a research habit, but also as a way of living.
A few moments along the way
A small collection of photographs from shared meals, celebrations, trips, and memorable moments with friends and colleagues. These are the kinds of moments that make life outside work just as meaningful.
A small shelf of favorites
Bengali literature has a special place on my personal bookshelf. I am drawn to stories that mix mystery and adventure with human relationships, nature, imagination, and the texture of everyday life. I also enjoy books that connect ideas from computer science and decision-making with everyday life.

Simple things, lasting impressions
Reading
Especially Bengali fiction, mystery, adventure, and stories rooted in ordinary human life.
Exploring
New places and unfamiliar surroundings make life feel a little larger.
People
Good conversations, friendships, and shared experiences are among the best parts of any journey.
Memories
A photograph can turn an ordinary day into something worth remembering years later.
Stay curious
âAlbert Einstein
Curiosity is one of the threads connecting the different parts of my life. It can lead to a research problem, a new book, an unfamiliar place, or simply a question about something seen on an ordinary day. I like keeping that sense of curiosity alive.
The page is still being written.
This is intentionally a small collection rather than a complete biography. I will keep adding photographs, books, places, and moments as the journey continues.
