Spanish-Bengali Connection

It's my great honour to be a part of a renowned Argentinian literary magazine Lak-berna as a poet. On 10th January, they published their 10th edition where they published my own Bengali poems with the Spanish translations(the translation was also done by me). I felt honoured to see my poems with Spanish authors and poets like Santiago Ocampos, Anne-Marie Labra Muniz. The site address is :

For the fourth consecutive year, I participated and worked in recently happened Kolkata International Book Fair: 2012 in the foreign pavilion ( stall named Latin America) and also worked in the stall named "Peru: 100 years discovery of Machu Picchu". With my friends and teachers, I engaged to show and explain about Spanish & Latin American musics, cultures, geography, history through our music CD, DVDs, translated books, Spanish text books, dictionaries, history books ( mainly translated into Bengali) like "Los Comentarios Reales", "Popol Vuh" " Handbook of Che", "The Green Diary of Che" etc. This year like last year book fair, many renowned and professors visited our stall including the stall of Peru ( Prof. Jose Paz again came to us with his vast knowledge and humor.)
