A bit of self advertisement or shud I say blogtisement!!

As u might not know, and I don't suppose there is any earthly reason that there is a high probability of you knowing, I run two more blogs by the name of "Satattar Palli Sarbojanin Durgotsab" and "Me, Myself & My Blog" that can be respectively accessed @ http://satattarpallidurgotsab.blogspot.com/ and http://anirband.blogspot.com/. While the former is on the nostalgic moments shared during Durgapuja, Bengali's most festive moment, by the locales of Satattar Palli where I was brought up from the age of 3+ years the latter needs a bit of an explanation. You see, actually you might have already seen, if you've glanced at the very 1st article in this blog, that from time to time my passion for writing drives me crazy and when that spike comes it becomes unbearable for me not to put my ideas in writing. It was these moments and sometimes something more that occasionally drive me to write short fictions. Though this habit had developed from my childhood days but it was not before I was on the verge of passing out of my college that I saw my writing published in college magazine. After that I did occasionally write but my shyness and procrastination stood in the way of communicating with prospective readers. So it was not until 2006 that I realized that blogs offer a direct way of communicating with readers of my latent talent and thus was created my 1st blog. But as ideas didn't sprout like wildfire in my brain the pace of blogging initially would have made a tortoise too smile in contempt. So then as I was contemplating on how to improve the pace suddenly a marvellous (?!) idea came to me. The point was, as an avid reader of fictions, these days whenever I try to get an overview of books, though the cyber space is filled with reviews of English literature but you required quite an effort to find the same for vernaculars (Bengali in my case) and sometimes you don't get them at all. Thus, I thought that readers with the same craving of fictions as me would find it good if amateurish reviews are available at least. So these days the blog is more for reviews be it literature or movies that I read or see.
