About Event

Arnab Ray (Great Bong) is a prolific creator, who has been writing online since 2004. Arnab has written 5 novels (some of them are being made into a web-series), technical books, innumerable blogs, and newspaper articles, hosts his own podcast (Attention pliss), and is active on social media. Arnab is a huge fan of Bollywood movies, the game of cricket, and is a keen observer of cultural mores, especially among Indians and the Indian diaspora. Arnab is not afraid to speak (or write) his mind, and he does it with a dose of humor, sarcasm, and literary flourish.

*Bong is a person from the state of West Bengal in India or is from Bangladesh and speaks the Bengali language. “Bong” also encompasses a personality style, and a particular type of philosophy. It has nothing to do with smoking artifacts (or does it?)
