Who am I ?

Hello! I was born in a village called Patna (P.O.:- Baraudaypur, P.S.:- Patashpur) in the Midnapur district of West Bengal, India on 4^th November, Saturday. My parents are Shri Khagendranath Kar and Smt. Manjubala Kar. My father was a school teacher of Mathematics at Baramohanpur Higher Secondary School. My mother had devoted most of her life for the joint family of my father and eldest uncle (Shri Nagendranath Kar and Smt. Nanibala Kar). We are two brothers (my self and younger brother, Shri Kali Krishna Kar) and two sisters (eldest sister, Smt. Swapna Das, and younger sister Smt. Madhuri Chanda). I lost my mother when I was 10 years old. From that time I am trying to know the meaning of life.

I have joined as a lecturer at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur on 31^st January, 2001. Here, I am finding the definition of My Complex Life through my research and teaching.
