বছরে দু-একখানা ম্যান্ডেটরি ফেলুপাঠ না হলে বইপড়া জমে ওঠে না। এ জিনিস ক্লাসিক, পড়তে পড়তে কখন পুরনো হবার নয়। এহেন দারুণ উপন্যাস থেকে যে অমন মধ্যমানের সিরিজ তৈরি করা যায়, সেটা সৃজিত মুখোপাধ্যায়ের বদান্যতায় বছরখানেক আগে দেখবার সৌভাগ্য হয়েছে। তাই বলছি মশাই, ছাড়ুন ওসব। আর ও পাড়া মারাবেন না, ওখানে আড্ডাও হয় না, টাইম খানাও নষ্ট। পারলে এটাকেই আরো দুশোবার পড়ে ফেলুন। যতই হোক, ফেলু মিত্তির নেভার ফেইলস।

Feluda was originally written by Satyajit Ray for the children’s magazine ‘Sandesh’. The popularity of the series was such that Ray went on to include a few adult themes in the later stories when he realized that even adults were enjoying the series.
I actually read Feluda before Agatha Christie and as such Feluda was my introduction to detective fiction. The best part of the stories is the evergreen manner of Ray’s narrative. I remember reading ‘Baadhshahi Angti’ which was written in 1960s and when I visited Lucknow in 1990s, I could still recognize the places described in the book. The other thing that I loved about the series was that in every story we learned something new – be it about geometry or about telepathy.
Absolutely and irrevocably in love with Feluda and his adventures – forever a fan.
