On May 8, Bangla literature lost one of its golden-age stars. Samaresh’s departure made a section of the press refer to two of his novels to announce that the author of Kaalbela (dark time) has transitioned to “Kaalpurush” (Orion constellation).
Pahela Falgun marks the beginning of spring after cold winter days and we celebrate this occasion in the true Bengali spirit. Shatkahon, a boutique celebrating local craftsmanship in all its work, is at the forefront of this seasonal shift with its spring collection of bold and bright colours blending falgun effortlessly into fashion.
