About The Campaign

Handwritten letter festival “Oshomoyer Daak” was organized by KrayonMag, a social story telling platform. This one-of-a-kind event, which is very pertinent in today’s context was open to all and took place for three days from October 19th to 21st, 2022 this month at Bishwo Shahitto Kendro. The primitive practice of letter writing is on the verge of becoming obsolete as digitization advances. The days of postmen delivering letters on bicycles with yellow envelopes or crinkling sound are just memories. In this age of emails, faxes, and text messages, no one writes letters to anyone anymore. Handwritten postal letters are going out of practice, which was the main basis for “Oshomoyer Daak” and letter festival from Krayon Mag. KrayonMag had suggested a few topics for the letters as well, some of which were related to the SDG goals, such as “Gender equality, Mental health, Climate change, Education system, Peace not war.” Finally, there was an open letter writing category titled ‘Your dream,’ where authors could write letters about their dreams, parents, family members, favorite city, favorite author, or a character in a book. These letters could be addressed to be a loved one, a relative, a faraway friend or a fictional character. Participants were free to write about any beloved object or character from literature or movies. On the opening ceremony the Chief Guest seat was graced by Aroma Dutta, Member of Parliament, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. Furthermore, among the Special Guests were Ln, Salma Adil, MJF, Founder, Salma Adil Foundation, CFO and ED, Top of Mind and Bhaskar Chowdhury, Poet and Author. The 3 day festival successfully concluded on 21st, October 2022 with an impressive list of panel guests namely, Azra Mahmood, famous Media Personality, Manizey Ibrahim, Author of Upcoming Debut Novel, “Aries: The Beginning”, and Director of Legal Affairs at Ibrahim Securities Limited, Ahsan Bhuiyan, Barrister-at-law and founder of Poribirton Kori Foundation.
