Rohon Kuddus

Rohon Kuddus went beyond the stereotypes of exams, entrances, career and such… and let his creative talent free in the world of literature. He is perhaps the most known name in the world of online Bengali literature. Equally adept in both prose and poetry, he writes in a number of Bengali web mags. Not just writing, he has established himself as a talented artist as well having designed the layout of each and every issue of Sristi, an online magazine edited by him. His first book Pizza Balok, a collection of short poems, was published on June 16, 2008 at Bangla Academy. He is a software engineer by profession working for Infosys. ‘Safo’, his satirical take on the life of a software engineer, written in an amusing style in the lines of Bankimchandra’s ‘Babu’, has amused many a soul and forwarded thousands of times!
