Arnab Sen has been a long standing member of the LMBCS.  In fact he's been a member before he can even remember!  Arnab is part of the budding youth membership.  The youth are inaccurately categorized as persons between the ages of 5 and 35.  Basically in the eyes of the uncles and aunties a Bengali is a youth until he or she gets married.

Nevertheless, the badge of "youth" is befitting to Arnab as he is only 23 years old.  However, Arnab has ammassed the experiences of a well travelled man and can definitely shed this outdated brand.  In the year 2007 Arnab set off to India to work for Satyam Computers Ltd. as an International Trainee.

Upon arriving at the information technology giant's doorstop Arnab found that there were more people than there was work.  Like many of the other employees of Satyam, Arnab spent the majority of his time taking coffee breaks.  Arnab utilized the lack of work he found at Satyam and used the open weekends and seemingly endless holidays to travel the great lands of India.

He viewed World Heritage Sites in multiple states, savoured his favourite biryani from multiple restaurants and conversed with other international interns from multiple countries.  All in all Arnab had a great experience, but who wouldn't if faced with unlimited travelling matched by an inversely proportional amount of work.

Upon his return to Canada, Arnab has found a job with a local software company.  He works tremendously hard and commutes to work on the SkyTrain.  Arnab's hobbies also keep him quite busy.  His hobbies include creative writing or blogging, cooking, travelling, and reading.  Arnab is the LMBCS's youngest purohit and is a great asset to us all because he has taken on the task of learning the intricate rituals of the pujas we celebrate every year.

Next time you see Arnab at an LMBCS function be sure to stop and say hi.  Also make sure to ask him about his experiences in India as he will surely regale with you a funny adventure.  Here's a suggestion: Ask about the time he had to run from a Hindu mob!

Lastly please take a look at Arnab's breakthrough performance at 2005's Bangla Utsab.  His portrayal of a Bengali father was hauntingly accurate yet tearfully thought provoking.
