I'm currently buddy-reading eminent Bengali author Satyajit Roy's book, Professor Shonku Samagra, with Muskan. Samagra means complete or entire in Bengali. The book is a collection of 40 science fiction stories. Professor Shonku is an extremely popular fictional character. He's a wise scientist with profound knowledge, and he goes on interesting adventures in his stories. All of Professor Shonku's stories were written in diary format. There are several amazing stories in the book, such as Professor Shonku o Egyptiyo Atonko (Professor Shonku and the Egyptian Terror), Professor Shonku o Golok-rohossyo (Professor Shonku and the Mystery of the Sphere), Corvus (A Latin word which means crow), Professor Shonku o Macaw (Professor Shonku and Macaw), and many others. Many of Satyajit Roy's stories were translated into English. So, non-Bengali people can read his stories as well. Satyajit Roy was a great author. He was a multi-talented person. Apart from being an immensely talented author, he was a magazine editor, illustrator, film director, calligrapher, screenwriter, and lyricist. Satyajit Roy won an Oscar in 1992 for his lifetime contributions to Indian cinema. He is considered to be the pride of Bengali people. A biopic was made on Satyajit Roy in 2022, and it received positive responses from the viewers. I admire him a lot! He's my favourite author.
When I was a kid, I used to read Bengali books only. I studied in a Bengali-medium school. Therefore, I felt gravitated towards Bengali books naturally. I read stories written by Satyajit Roy, Sukumar Roy (Satyajit Roy's father), Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Narayan Gongopadhyay, and so on. Nowadays, most of the kids study in English-medium schools. A lot of Bengali people look down on Bengali-medium schools now. However, I consider my Bengali-medium background to be my strength. It helped me become strong in my mother tongue, Bengali. I've the ability to write Bengali stories because of that. I wish to become a bilingual author in the future. I'm willing to write books in both English and Bengali.
It is incredibly important to preserve your mother tongue and pass it on! I wish you all the best in writing successful Bengali stories. That way you can reach many people who don't speak English. English can overcome language barriers, but it can never replace the mother tongue.

I wanted to buddy-read with you in June. But it's completely fine if you have work. You should prioritise your work because it's more important.
