| Visit to a Book Fair |
Fair means exhibition. A book fair is an exhibition of books where different kinds of books are displayed and sold. It is a much-awaited occasion for the readers and the writers. As a book-lover from my early age, I prefer book fair to the other sorts of fair. Several book fairs are held in our country in different places on the different occasions every year. Among all of them, I like the 'Ekushe Boimela' most. It is a month long fair held on Bangla Academy premises. This year the fair was started at the first day of February as usual. I went to the fair at the very first day. As soon as I entered into the fair premises, I was fascinated with the variety of the fair. The crowd of keenly desirous readers, disciplined rows of book-stalls, cultural functions all these charmed me very much. People were choosing and buying books. I also bought some books of great writers like Rabindranath Tagor, Sukumar Roy, Jafore Iqbal and so on. I like to laugh always and hence I bought a Sukumar Samagro. I saw a few renowned writers in some stalls. I was able to take an autograph from my favourite writer jafore Iqbal. After that, I wandered through the whole fair for one more hour. I enjoyed ''Fuchka'' from the roadside stalls. Then I came out of the fair before the sunset. The fair gave me a plenty of pleasure. I think its memory will give pleasure also in future while I will be alone and thinking on it.
