 | Rakesh Biswas |  |

Rakesh Biswas would like to be introduced as: an emptiness or nothingness which tries to cloak itself with its body and other accessories of a limited functionality. As far as functionality goes his job is a full time occupation of trouble shooting advanced systems (humans) which more often than not have thankfully been provided with self repairing capabilities.
He also tries to teach this so called art to other advanced systems (medical students) each of whom learn what they can. At present he is teaching in a medical college as associate professor, Internal Medicine in Bangalore, India. He lives in the college campus in Whitefield which also houses an IT park. He believes the next revolution in Medicine would be ushered in through IT and braces himself up for the future. At the same time he can't cease being fascinated by medieval medicine that in spite of all the scientific advances does survive somewhere in the present. In his works he attempts a synthesis of these apparently conflicting worlds of the scientific and surreal. His future plans include staging a power point presentation of his novel using drama as one of the special effects. He believes that all humans are born physicians by virtue of an ownership right on their systems and aims to act as a facilitator in the global understanding of disease. He needs valuable reader feedback to further this purpose, all of which he plans to incorporate in an interactive narrative framework in subsequent editions of his novel(some of which he has already done in this first edition)

 | Works by Rakesh Biswas |  |
|
God is fascinated with his walking and talking human laptop so much so that he's completely immersed in its innards, which conjure remarkable dream sequences in its LCD screen from time to time. Gradually he begins to believe the laptop isn't separate from him and completely forgets he's God. All he can recollect from his Godly existence is a black LCD screen all around with a boring drone of Aum coming from time to time.
The screen saver dreams, on the human laptop come as a lifesaver but is at the same time a vulnerable toy, prone to disease and disrepair. God starts searching for a mechanic, who knows all about his human system. All he finds is a host of assembly line workers who know bits and pieces but can't tackle his system as a whole.
