NILKHET

It would have been really difficult for us to buy books at such a low price if Nilkhet didn't existed. It's not only about price, their collection is awesome too as Ajanta apu mentioned. Long live Nilkhet!

i'm new in this group. But couldn't resist myself to post a comment on 'Nilkhet'. Whenever i heard about it, i get myself nostalgic. When i was in DU, i was a residence of F. Rahman Hall. To me it was like everything. i used to spent a lot of time there. N it feels great to walk through those narrow corridor piled up with books. i used to tell all my friends,if in any case Nilkhet got burnt the loss would be greater than the loss we faced by losing our Intellectuals in 14th dec'71.
Nilkhet is Great! Joyotu Nilkhet,Joyotu Boi Pora!

dont ever mention Nilket in relation to fire in the same sentence. Thats like...like.....i dunno, a complete nightmare to even think about!!!
*shivers*

LOL

One day it was about 11:30pm. And suddenly we heard a noise coming from Nilkhet region. And those of us who were coming back from that area told us that Nilkhet got caught by fire. We were very shocked & after hearing it, me with some of my close friends started running towards the fire caught region. And there was a huge crowd. Most of us were varsity students. All tring to get access to the market to save it from fire. After spending few minutes i came to a situation when i looked carefully around me. The thing i could realize was, not all people around me was like me & my friend who came to help the people of the book stores. Some were talking about looting the books if they can get the access. The real fear of mine started then. I realized that our favourite Nilkhet is running two risks at a time. Oh, it was such tuff situation for me. Suddenly the fire department reached as a savior. As the shops were luckyly very close to the main road,they could easily reach there n stop the fire. Fortunately only two or three shops were affected. So, i think now i'm clear why that two impossible word came in my mind altogether.

i just want to thank you for starting a topic like this. U know what, your topic selection was great!

thanks for taking me as a friend. By the way have you read Siddhartha by Herman Hess.....I met one french in Kolkata last month who recemmended it as one of the best...

Ank, i'm not trying to be rude, but pls dont compare nilket to a fair. to me its highly unfaithful to a place that sells books at cheap rates to students who are low in pocketmoney and love books.




My case rests here.

This group seems to sleep alot. Anyway, I thought I'd start a new topic.
If you're a Dhaka-bashi and a book-lover, then you know Nilkhet like the back of your own hand.
Anyway, this board is for suggestions for books, both bangla and english, that anyone has read and enjoyed, and would like to recommend. Also, if anyone has questions about a book or where to find it, leave your question on the board. I'm sure everyone will try to help answer it if they can.
