Bismoi ( https://bismoipriyasakhi.com) is the only Assamese monthly magazine which could attain the milestone of Golden Jubilee in the year 2018. Bismoi took its maiden flight into the vast literary sky of the Assamese language on the first day of the first month of the year 1969. Coincidentally, the same year saw the historic first manned mission to land the lunar soil by the USA. Bismoi from its primordial stage started to grow and develop ceaselessly with distinctive tastes soon became the most adorable reading of every household, for both the sexes across 9 years to nonagenarians. Bismoi as a torch-bearer with its nascent popularity amongst the Assamese society opened the floodgate for such other Assamese magazines in tandem. Their commercial avenue was already in stand. Bismoi thus created both readers and sellers, indeed. On the other hand, it brought a means of livelihood to many, happiness, profit and respect as well. As decades passed by, every new generation cradled Bismoi like their predecessors. With the change of time, need and demand, Bismoi, too, changed its theme, content and appearance, however, retained its originality. This enormous and ‘never before happened’ response from our readers and well-wishers resulted into five decades of its compelling leadership culminating into ‘Golden Jubilee’ of publication in the year 2018. Bismoi is in the second decade of the 21st century. Our virtual world with digital footprint has compelled us to metamorphose into digital Bismoi. This will make our relations closer, faster and more convenient than ever before. Digital Bismoi will be vivid, colourful, rich with ambience, yet, highly aesthetic for new generation readers to vibe with. Nonetheless, the romance of reading Bismoi will remain intact. Digital Bismoi will be at a click’s away distance and easily retrievable at your Android mobiles and computer networks. Our new digital avatar will be ‘www.bismoipriyosakhi.com’. We will also keep space for those who dislike the intangible digital life, feel the romance of holding the print copy for posterity and get its aroma fresh from printing house. For them and other collectors as well, the print copy will also be published, simultaneously. At a time when there were no TVs, computers or mobile phones – there was Bismoi. From now onward, Bismoi will march along with the TVs, computer networks and mobile phones. Let us come closer.
Priyo Sakhi ( https://bismoipriyasakhi.com )– With unprecedented popularity and success of Bismoi, we also felt the long void of a colourful sleek magazine necessitating expression of contemporary creative activities and thoughts of the Assamese womenfolk. This gave birth to Priyo Sakhi – a magazine especially meant for the Assamese womenfolk on the first day of the last decade of 20th century, i.e. January, 2020. On the basis of popular and in-depth socio-economic analytical thematic contents, Priyo Sakhi became an instant success amongst the Assamese readership. This fulfilled the chronic necessity of a complete Assamese language monthly magazine meant for women. Being pioneer in its own accord, Priyo Sakhi has been inspiring and promoting a large number of new generation Assamese women writers since its inception. Many of this new generation writers are now successful and well established in the domain of Assamese literature. To cater the need of the day and reach its readers at an earliest, we have endeavoured to publish the Priyo Sakhi in to digital version. From now onwards it will also be available in digital format at ‘www.bismoipriyosakhi.com’. However, the conventional print version will also be available in the stand. Dear Readers, we propose to convert Priyo Sakhi as a faithful mirror, where you can find yourself as a good writer, a poet, an actor, a social worker, a cultural performer, a beautician, a doctor i.e. as a woman in totality. Make a habit of visiting ‘www.bismoipriyosakhi.com’ in your digital device. https://bismoipriyasakhi.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ সমাজৰ কাৰণে ভাল কাম কৰাজনৰ পৰিচয় ৰাইজৰ আগত দাঙি ধৰিব লাগে আৰু ভাল খবৰবোৰ যিমান পাৰি ৰাইজৰ মাজত বিলাব লাগে। ---- বুলজিৎ বুঢ়াগোহাঁই _______________________________________________ Assam mailing list Assam@lists.assamnet.org http://lists.assamnet.org/listinfo.cgi/assam-assamnet.org
