Anushwar, a lighthouse of knowledge

"The book is the greatest interactive medium of all time. You can underline it, write in the margins, fold down a page, skip ahead. And you can take it anywhere," says Michael Lynton.
A book, sometimes, is considered as the best friend of life, sometimes, as the storehouse of Knowledge, best companion of leisure time as well. A book can unite a nation, can cause for anarchy, can show the history, and can reveal the truth like The Da Vinci Code. It helps to outgrow the depression. As Martin Tupper says, "A good book is best of friends, the same today and forever."

Anushwar, a literary organization based on reading book, an initiative of young and enthusiastic book-lovers, started its journey at Comilla University. This year the slogan of the organisation titled as "Akkhoraloke Udvashito Hok Dorshon".  

Shotabdi Jubayer of Department of Bangla, along with Aishwarjya Mim of Department of Economics, and Maher Rahat of Mass Communication and Journalism invented the idea. Then, Abdur Rahman, Jannatun Nisa from the Department of Economics came ahead to establish the organisation.

The organisation has already arranged ten literary sessions on various topics of world literature. On each Saturday, the members of the organization gather together with an aim of enriching their domain of knowledge. Moreover, they've started working to develop a library as a sister-concern of the organization with the books from different disciplines.

The ultimate goal of Anushwar is to bring all the book lovers under the same roof. "In our country, everyone, as the so-called trend demands, runs after the academic success without having any definite goal. But, that is not something that we expect from a university student. Anushwar wants to raise that consciousness by creating a new platform for an intellectual movement," says Shotabdi Jubayer, founder of Anushwar.

A book can change the human concept bringing the whole world in front of our eyes. Anushwar, so to speak, aims to bring some potential writers from the campus. Co-founder Aishwarjya Mim expresses, "We are trying to create a writing-based society. And our ultimate target is to bring out our own magazine to make a space for the latent talents."

All the members expect that Anushwar, being a guiding star, will enlighten their philosophy of learning and will be perfect guide in the path of life.
