I am an aspiring filmmaker.

I was a lecturer at a university. I worked in advertising as a copywriter too. But to settle down with a traditional job and make everyone happy route didn’t work for me. So I took the leap of faith and decided to leave my day job(s) to become a full time filmmaker.

I am also a singer-songwriter. I haven't released any of my original music yet, but you can check me singing a song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWZQIlI3tzE&feature=share

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015, I wrote and published a book "Pebetki Pena", a collection of Manipuri poems.

Teach, Learn, Share

I haven’t mastered anything yet, but I can teach a bit of music theory, singing, some musical instruments (guitar, ukulele, dotara, esraj, pung), few languages (Manipuri, Bengali, Sylheti), screenwriting, filmmaking, copywriting, juggling two/three balls, and fifa/pes video game.

I want to learn more about cinema and music, photography and any other art forms, local languages and cultures (especially food, slangs, superstitions and rituals), or anything that is new to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sing or play a musical instrument. Take a portrait. Make a video.
