POETRY / One who stands alone in the crowd

TRIBUTE / ‘Je Jole Agun Jole’ was first published under the title ‘Kar Ki Noshto Korechilam’

'I dedicated a lion's share of the life I've lived to poetry. I've thought of poetry as a guiding star'

POETRY / The shabby turtle without a shore

Tributes pour in for late actor Waliul Haq Rumi

Rumi's journey in acting began in 1988 with the play "Kreetodash". During the same year, he made his debut in the showbiz industry with the television drama "Kon Kanoner Phool", which earned him praise for his performance. Alongside television, he has also acted in several movies. In 2009, he debuted his silver screen with the film "Doriaparer Douloti".

The way they breathe help the city come to life, and the geography of the city has never been better realised by Joyce than right here
