My Recent Visit to a Book Fair
Mabrur Atiqi, Dhaka, 09 July:: 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.
