I am an upper middle-aged man residing in Kolkata, India currently working as an IT professional (website & software development) in a very humble small scale, working from my home. Side by side, I am also a musician (vocal & instrumental), actor, drama director, experimental film maker, creative writer and artist/ calligrapher.

There was a time when I was doing very well and was considered to be the richest person among my relatives and neighbors. Then came a bad time. My wife developed mental illness and is gradually deteriorating year by year. I have a son who is only 12+ in 2014 because of my late marriage. He is very talented, but yet to small to share my problems with him.

The nature of my wife’s mental illness is such that it does not reflect in the outside world or when she is on a social visit or entertainment. So, no one can see her problems which develop only within the domesticity and there is no outsider present. I also have a sister younger to me who is a physically handicapped person since birth and has neurological problems which in turn is making her more and more frustrated, short tempered and illogical as she is growing older.

Circumstances forced me to close down my office, reduce the size of professional activities to almost one tenth and start working from home. This is resulted in financial crisis too in today’s expensive world, and that is adding to the frustration of both my wife and sister.

Of late, I have increased my level of work tremendous strength of mind amidst all the adversities, and time has started improving so far as my financial problem is concerned. But that is not adding any satisfaction to the two ladies because of their own behaviourial problems.

I am quite popular among my fans in the cultural fields, but no one actually knows how lonely and sad I am deep inside. I am also worried about the future of my son, who is so talented, but is gradually getting mentally disturbed because of the problems in the house, which might affect his studies and career in the future, although he is still brilliant currently.

Anybody liking to be my friend/ healer/ sympathizer/ adviser may kindly write back to me at
