Aziz Super Market: A place that changed drastically

Once upon a time, Aziz Super Market use to be a hub for cultural and literature activities. A culture of "thought and creation" developed centring around the book stores. Be it the famous hangout of Ahmed Sofa or the office or balcony of LittleMag - there was always people hanging out with a cup of tea. Aziz Super Market was a place where people would not only discuss books or cinema but also make them; for instance, ideas of short films or songs, among others, originated there.

You can barely find anyone hanging out in Aziz Super Market anymore. Only a handful of book stalls are left in the whole building. The place has transformed from an idea hub into a clothing market.

On the World Books Day, The Daily Star Books is attempting to tell the story of Aziz Super Market in its glory days and how it changed over the years.
