- Sayomdeb Mukherjee has a rare genetic disorder called Dopamine-responsive dystonia (DRD) that was discovered 15 years after he was born. But that didn’t stop him from achieving his dreams.
- Den was born with a rare genetic disorder called Dopamine-responsive dystonia (DRD) also known as Segawa syndrome (SS). It was at the age of five when he experienced involuntary muscle contractions and uncontrolled movements.
- DRD was first discovered by Dr Segawa from Japan between 1995 and 2005. Den was diagnosed by the doctor treating his nephew. “When we finally identified it, we were reluctant to try the medications as so far nothing had helped. Every time we pinned our hopes on a development we were disappointed. We prayed for a miracle and it worked. My condition improved significantly. My muscles relaxed, the stiffness reduced and body pains lessened,” he adds. Den and his family accepted the fact that now he could talk. Adapting to the new situation took time and he found himself with no purpose.
- He channeled all his anger and frustration towards writing and wrote several “trash articles and stories” for nearly two years. Seeing his writing, his mentor at the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IICP) in Kolkata, where he did his schooling, allowed him to do a presentation at a national conference when he was 20.
- Joydeep Banerjee, the then Station Programming Head of 91.9 Friends FM, offered Den his show ‘Haal Chhero Nah Bondhu’ (Never Give Up – Dear Friend)’ in 2011. He was awarded the Radio Excellence Award and Best Bengali Radio Jockey “I had no experience of speaking in front of a mic and every time I went to the show, it felt like it was my last. But I have done some 820 shows in five years,” he says. Post his show, he wrote two books — ‘52 Steps’ on his radio experience and ‘Memoirs of Time’, his autobiography.
- In 2015, he got an opportunity to act in a movie directed by Rupam Sarmah. The movie ‘One Little Finger’ (2019) had around 80 disabled actors. Den played the lead character of an RJ.

20199. रूस-यूक्रेन युद्ध का असर: एमएसपी के ऊपर गेहूं का भाव, रतलाम में 3000 रुपए प्रति कुंटल तक बिका गेहूं
- रुस-यूक्रेन युद्ध के बाद विश्व बाजार में भारत के गेहूं की मांग बढ़ गई है, जिसके चलते देश की कई मंडियों में गेहूं एमएसपी से 200 से 500 रुपए ऊपर बिक रहा है। 7 march 2022 को मध्य प्रदेश की रतलाम मंडी में ए ग्रेड गेहूं 3000 रुपए कुंटल बिका, जबकि पिछले एक हफ्ते से मंदसौर मंडी में भी 2200 से 2400 रुपए कुंटल का रेट चल रहा है।
- मध्य प्रदेश में रतलाम जिले के किसान महिपाल सिंह सोनगरा ने कहा, "सोमवार को 22 कुंटल गेहूं हमने 3000 में बेचा जबकि, शनिवार को हमें 50 कुंटल गेहूं का 2800 का रेट मिला था। इससे एक दिन पहले हमारे चाचा को 2771 रुपए का रेट मिला था।
- भारत का निर्यात इस वित्तीय वर्ष के आखिर तक रिकॉर्ड 7 मिलियन टन तक पहुंच सकता है और अगले साल इससे भी आगे। डिमांड इसलिए भी बढ़ी है, क्योंकि यूक्रेन और रुस का गेहूं पश्चिमी एशियाई देशों (तुर्की, सीरिया, ओमान, लेबनान, सऊदी अरब) जाता था और वहां अप्रैल में रमजान हैं। इसलिए गेहूं की खरीद तेज है। अब रुस और यूक्रेन में माल नहीं आ पा रहा तो भारत से उसकी भरपाई हो रही है
