Hi Riju Da, I hope you're doing well. Recently, I’ve started reading Narayan Sanyal's "Ajanta Aparupa" and am keen on learning more about Ajanta and Ellora. Could you recommend some books that provide detailed histo information on these sites? I’m currently in Mumbai and not sure if the Asiatic Society here has as many resources as the one in Kolkata. Your suggestion would really help to find me the resources I need.

Hello Shamik. In my humble opinion, A.P Jamkhedkar's "Ajanta: Monumental Legacy" (Oxford University Press) and M.K Dhavalikar's "Ellora: Monumental Legacy" (Oxford University Press) are the best introductory as well as informative texts on these topics. I would strongly recommend that you go through them with utmost diligence, which can then be followed up by more in-depth articles. All the best.

Hello, I was wondering if you could guide me towards some recent speculative fiction in Bengali literature that you have really liked? On a more specific note, I am looking for works at the interphase of science fiction & magic realism, like those of Ken Liu or Ted Chiang maybe. I have previously read works by Biswadeb Mukhopadhyay, Sibabrata Barman, Tandra Bandyopadhyay & would be grateful if you could mention more.
