Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen expressed her eagerness to attend the Mahalaya event at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on October 10. Having returned to Kolkata for the second time since her long exile in August, Nasreen praised Bengal’s Durga Puja festivities. Regrettably, she will miss Durga Puja this year, as events are scheduled at Mahajati Sadan on October 8, followed by two other events on October 9 and October 11.
Nasreen hopes to reside in Kolkata during Durga Puja proceedings from next year onwards, as the city hosts an art exhibition during the festival. On Mahalaya, she will likely attend the event at Eden Gardens, subject to security arrangements. In August, Taslima Nasreen returned to Kolkata after nearly two decades, with Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari welcoming her at Rabindra Sadan. A book launch for her works is set for October 11 at the BD auditorium in Salt Lake.
