However, due to professional commitments, my musical pursuits had to be paused for a few years. In this context, I must gratefully acknowledge the pivotal role of my dear friend, Sujoy Sarkar. It was he who reconnected me with my passion for music. Sadly, he left us too soon. I believe he is still smiling somewhere, encouraging me and wishing me well.

Over the years, I have had the honour of performing at prestigious events such as Haldia Utsav, Kasba Utsab, the Birth Centenary Celebration of Soumendra Nath Tagore, and the West Bengal Book Fair. I've also shared the stage with accomplished artists including  Subhendu Maity, Sanghamitra Gupta, and Pratul Mukhopadhyay.  Collaborating with Pratul Mukhopadhyay has been particularly fulfilling. His powerful stage presence and soulful renditions have inspired and influenced me deeply.

My performances have been broadcast on All India Radio, Doordarshan, and leading FM radio channels. In 2012, I released my first CD album titled "Aangey Bajichhe Banshi", a duet with Sara Chattopadhyay, under the Ananyo Music label.

After nearly two decades away from formal learning, I returned to music in 2015. I consider myself truly blessed to have had the opportunity to learn under legendary Kabir Suman. This association has been transformative—not merely about learning songs or ragas, but about rediscovering music itself. With him, every lesson becomes a window into deeper musical understanding—exploring the layers within a composition, finding connections between music and life, and realizing the omnipresence of melody in our surroundings. For this, I remain forever grateful.

One of the proudest moments of my musical journey was sharing the stage with Kabir Suman on April 22, 2017, at Kala Kunj, during the 25th Anniversary celebration of his iconic album “Tomake Chai.” It truly felt like a dream come true.

My educational journey began at "Alor Parosh", a nursery school, and continued through Jagadbandhu Institution and New Alipore Multipurpose School. I later graduated from Netaji Nagar Day College and completed an Advanced Post Graduate Diploma in Computers & Information Management from Uptron Academy of Computer Learning. I remain deeply thankful to all my alma maters for shaping me both personally and professionally.

My father and lifelong inspiration, Bibhuti Nath Gupta (21st August 1925 – 16th January 2011), was a respected teacher and a devoted vocalist. A principled man and a survivor of the Bengal famine of 1943, he also bore witness to the final journey of Rabindranath Tagore—an experience that left a deep impression on him.

My mother, Indira Gupta (20th August 1933 – 7th February 2009), was a passionate reader, gifted writer, and devoted homemaker. Her poems and articles graced the pages of esteemed publications like Sandesh, Desh, and Jugantar. Her unwavering encouragement and belief in me were instrumental in everything I’ve achieved.

Gopa (27th June 1974 – 30th April 2021) became my life partner in 1996. She was a kind, loving soul—always smiling—and a wonderful mother. Tragically, we lost her during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her presence in our lives was a blessing, and her memory continues to live on in everything we do.

Our daughter, Damayanti (Tupur), was born in 1998. She holds a Master’s degree in Education and a B.Ed. from the University of Calcutta. She is currently working as a teacher in a reputed institution. Through her, I continue to rediscover the world with fresh eyes and renewed hope.
