Dear Editor, Shodalap:

Thank you for your mail. My computer fonts have been messed up by myself. That's why I could not write in Bengali. I have received so many e-mails personally, most of them praying for my recovery and with their comments on 'Shopno Nagari NY'. I am so much grateful to those who prayed for my recovery and asked me to continue with my writings. I am very sorry that I could not reply to those readers/writers personally. I am addressing this note to all of my well wishers and readers. Specially those who asked me to mail them the last part while Shodalap was delaying. The eager readers could not wait. Now its over. A writer's reward comes from the readers. I am delighted when the readers read the writing with keen interest and express their satisfaction. I am ready to accept any comments including criticisms. That will help me to rectify any weak expressions. As requested by most readers including the Editor, Shodalap, to award them with more writing, I will send you another novel SIMANTA SANGHAD, a story of divided Bengal and it's effects. Very soon I will mail it to the Editor, Shodalap.

Best wishes to all the readers and all my well wishers who mailed me.

 

Thank you,

M. Bahauddin

Editor's note: I apologize to all the readers of Shodalap for a rather irregular updating of Shodalap during the second week of May 2005. This is because, I had been away to New York during this time. I hope the readers will understand.
