The Other Me
My Adventures Off the Clock ⌛
When my design tools are down, I’m cooking up something different—reviving old Bengali recipes, exploring Bengali literature, and experimenting with Augmented Reality projects like Alien.orgn. My travels across India, from studying ancient temple architecture to savoring local street food, inspire me. This page offers a glimpse into my world, fueled by curiosity, creativity, and a passion for blending the old with the new.
👾 The AR Dimension: Alien.orgn
Exploring the world of Augmented Reality has become more than just a hobby—it's a passion project where creativity meets future. Alien.orgn, my AR experiment, allows me to blend storytelling, interaction, and digital art into an immersive experience.
it’s my AR streetwear apparel brand, aimed at transforming the boring, static fashion game into something dynamic with XR tees. These tees don’t just look cool; they come alive, offering immersive, interactive experiences that go beyond traditional fabric.This project is my most recent creative playground, where art meets technology, and the goal is simple: to redefine fashion with a digital twist.👽

Narayan Sanyal’s intricate storytelling keeps me turning pages, while Satyajit Ray's classics, like Charulata and Pather Panchali, are always on my rewatch list. There’s something timeless about these works that keeps me coming back, no matter how many times I’ve read or watched them.
These works not only entertain me but also inspire my visual design process, rooted in the rich storytelling and vivid imagery found in both literature and cinema. The whimsical illustrations from my childhood comics have played a significant role in shaping my artistic perspective, reminding me that storytelling transcends mediums`

🦄 Stories that Shape Me
As a child, I was completely enchanted by Indian comics. Titles like Chacha Chaudhary, Tinkle, and Amar Chitra Katha were my favorites, filling my days with laughter and excitement.These comics not only brought me joy but also sparked my imagination with their unique blend of humor and cultural insights. ✨
Even today, I revisit these comics for inspiration. Their storytelling techniques and distinctive art styles are foundational to my design thinking. Comics remind me that powerful narratives can be conveyed with simplicity and creativity, influencing my approach to graphics. I find that the playful yet meaningful storytelling in these classic comics enriches my work, encouraging me to explore new visual ideas and challenge traditional norms. 🖌️
🗺️ Travels & Tastes
As an architect, my recent travels across Hyderabad, Khajuraho, and Bhopal have deepened my appreciation for India’s architectural heritage. The intricate carvings and stunning designs of southern temples captivate me, showcasing the brilliance of traditional craftsmanship.
Travel greatly impacts my design thinking by exposing me to different cultures and architectural styles. Each place teaches me how people use and interact with their surroundings, enriching my understanding of user experiences. From the details of a temple to the colors of a local market, these experiences spark my creativity and inspire me to blend cultural elements into my designs. Travel helps me create solutions that connect with users by combining tradition with modern ideas.
