'Reading Photographs for a change!'
Today, 28 February 2017, is the last day of the Boimela, so there's no point in giving stall numbers and other details – buy this book from online book stores, from the publisher or even from one of the few bookstores that still stands in this city of designer boutique houses, cafes and restaurants.

‘From Cox's Bazar to Capt. Richard's Fort via Evil's Jungle...’
I found this thrilling adventure story review worthy more for its writer than the story itself. 'The Deadly Island' a treasure hunt expedition is meant for young readers, written by Sidratul Muntaha a student of class nine, Govt. Science College and High School and he wrote the story while studying in class seven! Being a teen-ager himself, the writer knows exactly what a teen ager of this time wants and serves it correctly.

'A War Makes a Man – A Man!'
Unreal -- the perfect word to describe this book that is inspired by 'real' events of our Liberation War of 1971. When Cartoonist Ahsan Habib, Publisher/Editor of the 40-year-old Fun-Satire Magazine UNMAD, a living legend started writing, his works were mostly humorous. But in between, he has been showing his strength in novel and short-story (fictions) writing as well.

'Translated Poems Only to Prove Poetry Needs No Translation!'
Gultekin Khan, in 2016, had emerged as a 'published poet' for the first time with a compilation of original poems. Her poetic abilities took the Bengali poetry readers and lovers by surprise – in a very good way. To many, her very late appearance in the world of poetry, was considered injustice to contemporary Bengali Literature and to her talent.

‘I Am Not a Feminist'
There is a lot of contemplation over this word. Whether it is what it means in the books, or whether each person modifies it according to their own needs, the ideology behind this word always seems to be up for grabs for each person who claims they are or they are not one.
