Dialogue between two friends on visiting the Ekushey Book Fair

Zafi: Hello Zarif! How are you?

Zarif: I am fine. What about you?

Zafi: I am fine too. What a lucky chance to meet you!

Zarif: Lucky chance indeed! We have not meet for a long time. What are you doing now?

Zafi: I am busy with my studies. You know I am taking preparation for the ensuing BCS examination. So, I am to study a lot regularly.

Zarif: Oh, I see. You might know that the book fair is going on. Have you visited the book fair?

Zafi: Yes, the day before yesterday I visited the book fair. In fact, I like the book fair so much.

Zarif: Nice! What is your feeling about the book fair?

Zafi: Really fantastic! My feeling about the book fair can hardly be expressed in language. By the way, have you visited it recently?

Zarif: No, I will visit the book fair at the later part of it. I have already made a list of the books I would like to buy. Have you purchased any?

Zafi: Yes, I have purchased five books—all written by Dr. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal.

Zarif: What is the reason behind purchasing only the books of Dr. Zafar Iqbal?

Zafi: He is my most favourite writer. His books are mostly written on our War of Liberation and are written for children.   

Zarif: I appreciate your choice. I have planned to purchase some of his books. I will also purchase two books of Professor Dr. Anisuzzaman.

Zafi: I may visit the book fair with you again. I may also buy two novels of Rahat Khan. The total arrangement of the fair also impresses me.

Zarif: It is okay. The book fair is really a pride of the nation. Not only the locals but also the foreigners are found visiting the book fair.

Zafi: Your are right. The foreigners are also enjoying the fair a lot. In fact, visitors of all walks of life are highly encouraged to visit the fair. Thank you.

Zarif: You are most welcome. Soon see you again.
