==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Ghosal was born and brought up in [[Kolkata]]. He attended A. K. Ghosh Memorial School and [[Jodhpur Park Boys School]], and graduated in history from [[Asutosh College]]. He did a postgraduate course in [[Media Studies]] from [[University of Calcutta]]. His admiration for [[Satyajit Ray]]&amp;#039;s illustrations in [[Sandesh (magazine)|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sandesh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]] magazine was a guiding force in his desire to become a professional illustrator.&lt;br /&gt;
