First, best wishes for the New Year from all of us at Parabaas.
1 ) We are glad to publish two short stories of well-known author Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay. "Brishtite Nishikanta" and "Amake dekhun" have been translated respectively as "Nishikanta in the rain" and "Look at me" by Nilanjan Bhattacharya. These are available at:

and

These have been illustrated by Rajarshi Debnath.
2) We have quite a few articles lined up for release : translation of Buddhadeva Bose's Kolkatar Electra (tr. by Sreejata Guha), sixth installment of Sab Peyechhir Deshe (tr. by Nandini Gupta), a memoir of Satyajit Ray in Santiniketan by the famous Hindi author "Shivani" (tr. by Ira Pande), a short story of Paritosh Sen (tr. by Swapna Dev), etc.
