Deba a.k.a. Mota is a chap with myriad shades such that one cannot fathom the bottom or the edge ever. He is like the curveball that can outshine and outwit with anything under the sky, be it geo- politics, books, cinema, Sufi music, ghazals and the list rides into the sunset… but not to forget technology and how can we not mention gastronomy!

You’ll rarely see him worked up (his son’s demanding antics may be an exception) and one would most often see him as the good Samaritan lending his altruistic self to the cause of others. But when he is irked, he recites the choicest expletives in chaste Odia that will put a Sanskrit pundit to shame!

His cherubic demeanor not only conceals sharp acumen, but also his penchant for great moments with best buddies by raising a toast or by getting levitated. A perfect embodiment of companionship, any event will be incomplete without him, and therefore Benvenuto al divertimento, Mota!
