The Smartest Guys on Earth!

I’ve got the following text from an AI analysis on Google and I’m using it here as a quote, although I had no idea who’s written it or when—the analysis is not revealing its source, if any. Of course, it’s only a part of the analysis that impressed me most, and therefore I thought of putting it down here for all people of the same ilk. And yes, I’ve tweaked it bit to cover more of the categories of people obviously involved.   "Many emerging or existing artists/writers/discoverers feel ignored, with their work going unnoticed, which is often a burden of being in creative industries , rather than a reflection of talent."  Very right indeed!

My two fathers

Yes, I have two fathers and it's not a joke.

My father by marriage, Bibekananda Bhattacharya was a great musician, composer and tabla player.

I lost him in 2007, but he continues to live with us.

I consider myself very fortunate to have two such great father friends and unfortunate to lose them both--well, physically.
