When he is not in the theatre, Arnab enjoys drinking specialty coffee, looking up restaurants around town, binge-watching American sitcoms, and browsing through graphic novels. Arnab would like to thank Lily, Mehr, and Shivani for bringing him along on this beautiful and important journey. arnab.banerji@lmu.edu
