Hello, dearest readers!
This can serve as a small dictionary-like-thing to words/relations that I mentioned in my native language, which is Bangla or Bengali. For your better understanding, I'll be adding words here with their respective meanings time to time as I go when/if I mention a new native word in the book. I'll also try to leave pictures attached for your visualization. Please hit me up or leave a comment if you come across any word you couldn't find clear. I will definitely explain it to you!
