First BTT Release : Dumnigarher Manush-kheko(ডুমনিগড়ের মানুষখেকো) by Satyajit Roy

 Dear friends and visitors,this is the 1st post @BTT and what would be the more fitting post other than a story written by our beloved Satyajit Roy??So here it is!!
 We all know late Satyajit Roy as a famous Indian film-director who won the Oscar and a fabulous story-writer but he had another special quality - he was a superb artist! His b/w sketches were trademark of his own stories,be it Feluda or Prof.Sanku's adventures or simply those one-off short stories!
 But one thing that many readers may not aware that,before the appearance in book-version,all of his stories were originally appeared,sometimes in the multiple parts,in either of Sandesh(his family magazine) or Anandamela magazines -  where he used to draw color sketches, besides the usual b/w ones, just for the readers of those magazines.Those color arts were never published in the books(you will get only the b/w sketches there)!

 Today I am going to post one such story where he showcased his talent not only in the plot but in the drawing - both in the color & b/w medium!The story is "Dumnigarh-er Manushkheko(ডুমনিগড়ের মানুষখেকো)" featuring Roy's one of the famous protagonists,Tarini Khuro!

This story was originally published in the Anadamela on 13th January,1982.Much later publisher included this in a compilation of Tarini Khuro's adventures,but there they retained only a couple of b/w arts,sadly!

সত্যজিৎ শারদিয়া আনন্দমেলাতে একেবারে প্রথম ইসু থেকেই COLOUR-এ এঁকেছেন। আনন্দমেলাতে COLOUR-র SCOPE-টা ছিল বেশী।
সন্দেশের কথা বলতে গেলে তার প্রচ্ছদের কথা বলতেই হবে। অনবদ্য সে সমস্ত কাজ।

তারিণী খুড়ো তার গল্পের আরও একটি দারুন চরিত্র। তারিণী খুড়ো বিড়ি খেতেন আর গপ্পো শোনাতেন... যদিও তার ধরন আলাদা তাও অন্য আর একটি famous চরিত্রের সাথে কোথাও কী মিল খূজে পাও তারিণী খুড়োর ?

Congrats for your first post and thanks for dumnigorer manush kheko.
