Visiting Ekushe Book Fair 2025

Ekushe Boi Mela was once a highly anticipated event for me and my cousin. We carefully planned our book purchases, and the fair felt like a third Eid.

Almost all of us had childhood idols—people who seemed destined for greatness, inspiring us to dream big and aim high. Yet, as time passes, some of these bright stars falter, leaving us to wonder what went wrong. Often, their downfall stems from having too many choices, overconfidence, or a lack of vision.

Book Review: Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Asenni
