Contributor Bio(s): Ray, Sukumar: - Sukumar Ray (1887-1923) was a prolific Indian writer, poet and playwright. He was one of the first writers of nonsense verse in Bengali, for children. Son of children's fiction writer Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury, Sukumar graduated with honors in physics and chemistry from Presidency College, Calcutta (now Kolkata), and trained in photography and printing technology at the London County Council School of Photo-Engraving and Lithography, and Manchester School of Technology in England. He developed new methods of halftone block-making, and was also elected Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. He is the father of internationally acclaimed Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray. After Upendrakishore's death in 1915, Sukumar Ray assumed the editorship of children's magazine Sandesh started by his father, and remained editor until his own untimely death.Roy, Niladri: - "Niladri Roy is a self-described dyed-in-the-wool Bengali, with varied interests. An engineer by training from Bengal Engineering College, Sibpur, in India, he is a full-time practicing technologist based in Silicon Valley, California. His interests, outside of his profession and occasional experimentation with writing, include piloting single engine aircraft and high-altitude trekking in the Sierras and Himalayas. He is the author of the book Everest Base Camp Trek - Kathmandu and the Ascent of Kala Patthar (Blurb, San Francisco, 2008). Roy, a naturalized American, was born in Assam, India, to Bengali parents, grew up near Kolkata, and emigrated to the United States in the mid-1990s." |
