BTV's new show 'Fire Eso Chithi' explores the history of letters, this episode on Nazrul's letters
A new fortnightly programme, 'Fire Eso Chithi', exploring the history and heritage of letters has begun on Bangladesh Television (BTV). The subject of this episode of the programme was 'Nazrul's letters'.
The first episode of the programme was broadcast on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, at 11:05 pm.
The programme has been researched and scripted by noted writer Anarya Murshid and is presented by BTV newsreader Mehenaz Munni. Its producer is Golam Morshed and its chief coordinator is Enamul Haque. Doyel Communications assisted in the production.
Through discussion and art shows, the programme presents how letters have changed over time. It seeks to bring out the emotions folded into nearly forgotten letters, along with the communication system of the past, the social picture, history and heritage, art, literature and philosophy.
Producer Golam Morshed said that for this research-based programme, younger guests are being invited alongside elderly guests. Through a bridge between two generations, he said, "Fire Eso Chithi" has become a mirror of the times, in which stories of feelings passed from generation to generation can be seen.
Mosiur Rahman, chief executive of Doyel Communications, said letters have existed through the ages and will remain. He said the programme tries to make a human appeal: even amid a busy life, it matters to understand the feelings of loved ones.
According to the organisers, the programme has been arranged as an attempt to reopen the dust-covered mailboxes of tradition.
