Joy rules the post Shakti Chattopadhyay era of Bengali poem. His way of telling story is rare in today’s poem. Most of his work tells story not just a thought.

Working with Bengali Phonetic Keyboard

I have been looking for it for a long time. I sometime feel very sad when I see GOOGLE’s online phonetic keyboard without “Bengali” layout.
