I just finished watching the movie "When Harry tries to Marry" and was reading the cast and crew list shown in the end. I suddenly came across the name Hridoy Deka and then googled his name and found your blog, which contains a lot of information about him. I had never heard of him before and this guy has already worked on so many projects. Assam should be proud of him. Regards,Sandeep Bora.
