Dibyendu Ghosal was born and brought up in Kolkata City, previously known as Calcutta, India to Saradindu and Ranu Ghosal.. A Master's Degree in Computer Sci. & Engg., and having his devoted time in Literature, Arts and world Cinema. A man of literary convictions and having the courage to follow his convictions unmindful of the popular trends . His knowledge and works in World Cinema, including Art-house, Parallel as well as commercial is huge. The lifestyle and writings of Dibyendu Ghosal is surrounded and moulded by Elizabethan era British culture. Always been a Intellectual and a frequenter to Film Forums and Film festivals in India, he is fond of serious and art-house movies like those classics of Tenesse Williams, Elia Kazan, Jiri Menzel, Ray & Ritwik as well as Gillo Pontecorvo and Bertolucci of Italy. Mr. Rajendra Krishan, editor of Boloji spiritual and literary magazine, has compared his writings to Nineteenth century playwright & novelist William Somerset Maugham. Dibyendu Ghosal is educated and grown up under the influence of the School of Thought of legendery Broadway & British Theatre dramatists & Hollywood actors Richard Burton and Joseph Fiennes, thus harping on mental stress and strain, mental strategies and sufferings in his writings rather than plots or characters. His non-compromising attitude in literature has compelled him not to alter his writings by bowing to market trends or publishers' demands or thumbrules. Wine, cigar , emotion, arts and literature are in unison in his writings. He generally constructs his pieces sharing patterns based on 'Universal' values and structures, like the oppositions of life and death and life and after-life, nature and culture. And leaning on Christian doctrines in which he firmly believes. He never bowed before the publishers' demands and deadlines or the current market trends and never altered his style of writings.

He is also a member of the Amnesty International and an associate member of the Afghan Women's Mission and the Kabul-based Revolutionary Assoc. of Women of Afghanistan, contributing a few articles against the torture of the Afghan warlords on the people there . A very unobtrusive young man, a secluded life gives him retiring manners. The extremes of vigour and simplicity converge to meet in his nature. Under a sophisticated Roman catholic culture, inartifial tastes, and an un-pretending atheism outside, his powers are unadapted to the practical business of life. He writes from the impulse of nature, the dictates of intuition, and from such stores of observation. Never known to be a fighter, he is better known as a man of the Aristocracy for the language he uses in his writings -- fond of Romeo and Julietta cigar and vintage French wine, a delightful decadency follows. «View Less
