Swarnadeep Bandopadhyay

We start our heavenly journey from star to star with one of the brightest, the 'hottest' and the most popular star in hel(L). He was often looked upon as an active volcano, who could erupt any moment. He's had his share of pangas - be it with classmates, with professors or with an elderly 'maryada-sheel' dharmaguru. He is truly a trendsetter - even if it is a pink tie on a yellow shirt! It must be noted here that Nature has its own way of neutralizing things e.g. for acids, there are alkalis, for hot, there is cold. Similarly, for moochbum there was Naveen Swami, and for our star under discussion, there was our senior citizen Sudarshan Daga. A fundoo in Operations Management, and a star singer of 3.4, I present to you - Swarnadeep Bandopadhyay.....

Scene1: Parichay 2007

The stage was set for the newly inducted PGP23 to showcase their talent. At the convo ground stood scores of PGP1s and PGP2s. The PGP1s, waiting to see what was to unfold, while the PGP2s chanting, "Jackson...Jackson...we want....Jackson..." Jackson was the star of the PGP22 3.4 and was known to have enchated the audience in the past. Would anyone step into his shoes? And then came the reply! The voice that silenced the crowd (PGP2s) and showed what a star singer sounds like. The song 'Alvida' never sounded more energetic. Kudos to Dada for that brilliant performance. With this scene, Dada had surely arrived, but there was more about him to be seen than just his performances.
