His unconventional journey of pursuing knowledge is understandable from an excerpt in “A Beautiful Mind”, the abridged biography by his nonagenarian national teacher father: “Srikanta has been keenly inquisitive since childhood. Deep perception, self reliance, iron-determination, and untiring effort have enabled him ever to penetrate the crux of critical research/academic problems in no time. Srikanta has outstanding academic background in general and exceptionally good in physics and mathematics. Tranquil mindset is his in-born gift. His cool, cordial and smiling interactions are endearing to all and sundry.”
