Sagnik Mazumder is a young artist, violinist and computer programmer born in Asansol.

Early Life
Born in a traditional Bengali middle-class family, he was trained in singing and sketching at an early age. His interest in the sciences can be attributed to the books of his grandmother, who herself was a lecturer of Botany at a nearby college, while his interest in art can be attributed to his father, who was a prominent photographer, having obtained the Rashtrapati Award in 2002 for his work on the 150 yrs Indian Railways documentary of the Rajdhani Express. Almost as a icon to the diversity of Indian culture, he learnt three languages (Bengali, Hindi, English) and obtained lifelong friends in Milind Peter Topno(Christian) and Aatif Masood Hasmi(Muslim).

Teenage Years
Though having an unnatural affection for the arts, his primary interest was in the sciences.
