Take out your calendar and start jotting down dates on which you will visit the Central Park Mela Prangan. This year’s events look spectacular with a dash of Guatemalan flavour. From a regular adda at the iconic Coffee House on College Street in the early year 1970s, a group of literature, enthusiasts, and publishers came up with this initiative. The aim was to give book lovers a place to exchange thoughts, ideas, culture, enclose a generation gap and get all their favourite writers works in one place. They came up with- Boi Mela or Calcutta Book Fair, which later turned up at Kolkata Bookfair. Nothing can melt a book lover’s heart more than a good book! True in every sense. And truly nothing excites a book addict more than a book fair! Surrounded with books, best sellers and publishers! Every year our beloved Kolkata gives us the biggest book fair. This year the 43rd International Kolkata Bookfair was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal Smt. Mamata Banerjee. 1st of February was recognized as the Guatemala day. The Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal Smt.
