Satyajit Ray
End to controversy over Satyajit Ray’s ancestral home is needed
Satyajit Ray’s ancestral house, rich in memories, is being demolished in Mymensingh to construct a new building for the Shishu Academy—this has been a topic of media discussion for several days. The issue has also sparked debate and criticism on social media. Satyajit Ray was a legendary figure in Bengali literature and cinema; his father Sukumar Ray and grandfather Upendrakishore Ray were also prominent figures in Bengali language and literature and pioneers in children’s literature.
Dear Uma, dear Durga
Durga is dead. Harihar's family is leaving the village of Nischindipur. Leaving the village filled with memories, Apu will go far away, to Kolkata. All the belongings are being loaded onto a bullock cart. Mother and father are busy. Apu thought to check what secret items he should take with him. While moving a clay pitcher from the top shelf, something rolled down. Apu saw a golden box, the very same one that had been stolen from Sej Thakurun's house the previous year.
