Arnab Ray

Arnab Ray is an Indian novelist, blogger, podcaster who currently lives in the United States. While finishing his PhD at Stony Brook University, he started his blog with the name ''Random Thoughts of a Demented Mind,'' in August 2004, using ''Greatbong'' (''bong'' is an Indian slang for Bengali) as his pen name. The blog focuses on satirical social and political commentary.

Ray embarked on his writing career with ''May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss'', a non-fiction book that came out in 2010, and contained much of the commentary that Ray was known for by then through his blog. This was followed by ''The Mine'', a psychological horror novel that came out in 2012, followed by books in the drama and crime-thriller genres. His last novel ''The Mahabharata Murders'' was adapted as a web series ''Mahabharat Murders'' on the Bengali OTT platform Hoichoi.

In 2019, Ray renamed his blog as ''The Greatbong Blog'' and started a podcast called ''Attention Pliss!''. Provided by Wikipedia
