Gauranga was gracious to spare time on quite a short notice, and his insights were were exceedingly valuable. As someone hoping to build a career in academia, talking to Gauranga proved to be extremely fruitful, as he gave me specific and to-the-point advice, while simultaneously being exceptionally humble.

I am a researcher currently working in the field of AI & ML. I received the prestigious Khorana Scholarship from Dept. of Biotechnology, Govt. Of India in 2024 and I used this scholarship to spend my time at Harvard Medical School.
During my free time I would love to play a game of chess, teach math to a friend, solve puzzles, do some competitive coding, or watch a movie (preferably dramas). I love reading nonfiction (mostly biographies/autobiographies). Hate fiction (coz, truth is stranger than fiction!). I love traveling and doing landscape/still-life/portrait photography. I also love sketching or writing philosophical/biographical articles.
Of all the tasks I could do best: pacify and help a worried friend, solve a math problem, offer thoughtful advice, and maintain a positive attitude in challenging situations there are many virtues I am proud of embodying and love to practice. However, the one thing I cherish the most among them all is teaching and mentoring. Having said that, one might wonder: Of all the other possible alternatives, why did teaching become the chosen path? Why not anything else? I believe the reason lies deeply in one’s psychology and way of life. As you may have figured out, I have always been an intensely curious and passionate person. Consequently, I engage with everything I do — reading, listening, eating, and experiencing — wholeheartedly and with dedication. I approach both books and conversations with people with the same passion and attentiveness.
Therefore, I have developed an innate belief that people themselves, with all they say, discuss, and in particular, teach, better be interesting. However, many of the teachers I’ve encountered have unfortunately been either monotonous and apathetic, overly strict and hostile, or discouraging and uninformed. This sentiment is not personal but is shared by many people I have known. Consequently, many have either lost interest in what they used to love or have persevered by encouraging themselves, disregarding these disheartening circumstances.
Having said all this, it is, therefore, an immense pleasure to teach, guide, or mentor beyond merely instructing, ALL FOR FREE!
