YEAR
2023

My name is Raj Karmakar and I'm a singer, musical artist & songwriter.

Raj, where did you come from and what year did you come here?

Well, I came from a city called Balurghat, and in 2023.

What were your first memories upon arrival, either at the airport or during your first few days, anything you noticed?

Well, yes, the first memory was very… okay, Which is still going, I guess. Like, they're renovating some of the parts. So there was this big holding where it was written in bold letters: "The future is here!" (Laughs) And that's what caught my attention and I was like, "Okay, that's cool."
