"Kobita Bikel" 5th Birthday celebration

Many thanks for the invitation. At last, you are including philistines (non-literary or, people who are not sophisticated enough to consume poetry like the members of poetry reading circles). This act of your kindness and generosity deserves applause from the Bengali public.

What happened in the past years? The members of many circles used to meet in undisclosed places and consumed some poems with delicious dishes. Once, this is done, then, they sent report to various web magazines - pictorial report for the public. Isn't this same or similar to the act by richly/kingly people showing through visual texts what they eat or drink in some exclusive parties?

Hope, this futile act of owning an art form by a particular group is over. This is not to be the case when literature is supposed to represent life and through poetry we can define, destruct and reconstruct our existence. Poetry is definitely a consumable item, but it would be cruel if we exhibit that act of devouring only to the public!
