He is married and father to 2 bright children, a son and a daughter.

He has been an active member of BCAP since 2001. He states "For me, BCAP is like my family. This is a forum where we exchange our ideas and share our good times. This is a forum where we keep our cultural and religious heritage alive. This is a forum which helps our children to learn Bengal’s tradition and language. It is a forum through which we support each other. With the arrival of new members, the BCAP has grown considerably in last 7 years. With this growth, the new members have brought new ideas too. This is a strength of BCAP. Although we have diversity among the members but surprisingly our actions are united. This is why; it is really an enjoyable as well as useful experience to be a part of it."

He cordially invites and welcomes all interested parties to join the Bengali Cultural Association, Peterborough.
