My
Recent Visit to a Book Fair
Hasan
Mahmud, Dhaka, 05 February: Every year Bangla Academy organizes 'Ekushey Boi
Mela'. The fair is held in the Bangla Academy premises. There are a huge number
of books on various subjects in many stalls of different publishers. The main
thing about a book fair is not only sale of books but also display of books on
different subjects. Many novice writers want to start their career from a book
fair.
Yesterday I
visited the 'Ekushey Boi Mela' and purchased several books of my choice. I got
there a chance of comparing books of different writers published by different
publishers. I was amused at seeing hundred and hundred stalls. All sorts of
books were displayed in the stalls. I found there some contemporary writers
visiting the fair. It was a special attraction to me as I could have a glance
of my dream characters.
The
discussion program and cultural function arranged on the premises attracted me
to a large extent. However, the arrangement was nice but huge amount of dust in
the book fair made the visitors uncomfortable. Some stalls were found selling
snacks and thus polluting the premises. The authority should pay close attention
to the problem.
