Author Ayan Chowdhury

Ayan Chowdhury

A resident of the mean streets of Little Burgundy (really, it's not that bad), when Ayan isn't studying English Literature at Concordia University (while cursing Milton, Dickens, and Chaucer), you can likely find him yelling at the TV for his beloved Montreal Canadiens. Over the past year, he's written for The Concordian newspaper and had his name mispronounced as "Ian" at least a dozen times (really, I don't mind). He also believes that most situations in life can be related back to Seinfeld (if you haven't seen it, we can't be friends). FYI: you can touch his beard, but donations are welcome.
