A heartfelt thank you from Dishari 🙏❤️

We are deeply grateful to Bay Area Bandfest for organizing a special Meet-and-Greet with POTA to raise funds in support of Dishari — and for generously donating $3,000 to our library.

This meaningful contribution will directly support our mission of keeping Bangla books, literature, readings, and cultural programs accessible to families and communities across the Bay Area.

Our sincere thanks to the entire Bandfest organizing team for choosing to stand with Dishari, and to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make this support possible. Your generosity reminds us of the strength and beauty of our community. ❤️

Thank you for believing in Dishari. 🙏

'সেতু'র জন্য যাঁদের লেখা মনোনীত হয়েছে,
তাঁদের মেইলে জানানো হয়েছে।
যাঁরা লেখা পাঠিয়েছেন,
তাঁরা অনুগ্রহ করে মেইল চেক করবেন।
দুঃখের সঙ্গে জানাই,
যাঁরা মেইল পাননি,
তাঁদের লেখা মনোনীত হয়নি, এমনটাই ধরে নিতে হবে।

তবে, লেখা পাঠানোর জন্য সকলকে ধন্যবাদ।

'সেতু' কবে প্রকাশিত হবে,
কীভাবে সৌজন্য সংখ্যা পৌঁছে দেওয়া হবে,
তা জানানো হবে।

পুনরায় ধন্যবাদ।

Dishari Public Library is extremely excited to host the talk on the “Rise of Two Stars in History: Uttam Kumar and Soumitra Chatterjee” by renowned film scholar, critic, translator, and author Prof Sanjay Mukhopadhyay. This will be an online event.
In this engaging lecture, Prof Mukhopadhyay will examine how Uttam Kumar and Soumitra Chatterjee came to embody the aspirations, anxieties, and evolving identity of a changing Bengali middle class in post-Independence Bengal. Through an insightful exploration of their landmark films and iconic characters, he will illuminate the complex interplay between cinema, history, society, and culture. Far beyond a celebration of two legendary actors, this talk offers a compelling historical perspective on how these extraordinary artists became enduring cultural icons whose legacy continues to shape Bengali and world cinema.
