Awards × 1 Mon Amar Tomakei Chay || Dil Mera Bass Tumhein Hi Chahta Hain || My Heart Only Wants You Sanjana had always felt inferior to the transfer student who moved into the girl's hostel and took her "debate champion" title immediately. She'd fought hard to get it back after all the family pressure upon her. As a prize for the win, she got to review and observe archive stories from the university's forgotten literature collection. Among them, she found papers that did not seem to be opened in half a century. Curious and observing, Sanjana found those to be letters between two women back in the days written in Bangla. Born in Kolkata but moved to Delhi at a young age, Sanjana did not understand Bangla entirely, nor could she properly read the language. Hence she had no choice than to ask Rupali, the Bangladeshi girl, the only girl who spoke Bangla in their class, the transfer student, for help. As they discovered the meaning behind the letters together, Sanjana found parallels between the words spoken back in the day with her own growing attachment with Rupali. How will this relationship pay out? Stay tuned to find out. Second Place 🥈- Potato Mini Awards (Best Blurb)
