Pentasect has seen its second summer. For a print magazine, being in publication tells a volume about the team (readers and friends included) involved. For an online magazine, running is not that difficult, remaining relevant is. Relevance needs to be measured by a single metric: How the tribe of readers, friends, critics and reviewers are engaged with it.
I find it a matter not only of joy or mere happiness but a sense of fulfillment that we have been running together for a good share of months.
This issue features two works on Learning English – by two veteran English teachers – one from Calcutta and one from Andhra Pradesh. A generation of Contemporary Bengal – who have been systematically, betrayed the exposure to English laments almost in Hebraic sorrow as the understanding dawns now.
We are in the process of Launching an University – not a degree-mill, not a place providing parchments, not a building but a true university. We would share the details with you soon
Rest all regular features. Calcutta Culture Glossary concentrates on Calcutta in anticipation of Change.
Best wishes to all of you. May the Rains shower mercifully on the Ricefields of Bengal.
