He majored in English Literature from The University of Calcutta and then did M.A. in English Literature from Jadavpur University, Calcutta. After teaching English for some years in a renowned public school, and for short stint in a college in Calcutta, he joined a bank, and as a bank officer earned the topnotch diplomas in banking like CAIIB (Bombay) and ACIB (London). He gave up the job in the bank as Assistant Regional Manager at the age of forty-nine in 2001 and joined Ramakrishna Mission Residential College as a Guest Lecturer. Now retired, Dutta is engaged in guiding students, doing research work, writing poems and short stories in English, and translating into English ancient Indian scriptures written in Sanskrit. First published in 2008, this is the second and more enriched edition of the author's venture. A distingué for its many features which are brilliant and unique, this work is the first of its kind in the world.
