History
Ghanada is a middle-aged, tall and thin man, whose first story is Mosha, which was appeared in the Puja issue of Alpana (আলপনা) published from Deb Sahitya Kutir in 1945 (১৩৫২ in Bengali calendar). In the following Puja issues of several magazines, Nuri (1947), Poka (1948), Ghori (1948), Chhori (1949), Machh (1949) etc. were published. Mou-Ka-Sa-Bi-Saw Bonam Ghanada is the last story written in 1987 and published in the Puja issue of Kishor Jnan Bijnan in that year. In 1984, some Ghanada-fans founded the Ghanada Club at Mitra's residence at Kalighat, Kolkata. Siddhartha Ghosh (the writer of Jhantumama) suggested this club in Kishor Jnan Bijnan in 1983. Some other members of this club were Rabin Bal and Kinnar Roy.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
