Thank you Srish!
I talked to Gautam babu. He is a nice man and is doing a great job with his associates of Manna Dey Sangeet Academy. I wish to join them. But as I do not stay at Kolkata, I don't know how I can participate actively with them.

Anyway, thanks a lot for providing all the required information.

Amit
