DALTON WILL ROCK THE CULTURAL ARENA IN FUTURE..

..

Dalton Zahir is an animated Bengali boy who is enlightened with extraordinary genius.

One need not to raise eyebrow at hearing the name of “Dalton”, this innovative lad put the name of the famous scientist before his original name to show his devotion towards him.

Undoubtedly Dalton is an intelligent fellow.

I do not say from my long experience in journalism rather I can feel it deep inside. Noted writer Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury and poet Asad Chowdhury also agree with me. It takes time to discover his inquisitive mind as it unfolds slowly, veiled in his inborn candidness.

I can clearly recall when I saw Dalton for the first time.
He came to me with a report in his hand. Although I frowned to have heard that Dalton is his pseudonym, long conversation with him convinced me that it is not a complete misnomer. While going over his report I could feel he has an unquenchable thirst for truth. This prompted me to strongly recommend him for Daily “Lal Sobuj” and subsequently he joined there. That was the beginning of our intimacy which has developed into a deep relation over the years.

Not only reporting, this multifaceted boy is good in writing as well. His writing touches upon the dark picture of our decrepit society. His first book “Juddher Kotha Muktir Kotha” unveils his deep patriotism. “Onnorokom Mritto” is one of his thought provoking novels. How the dreams of the common people are shattered by opportunist political leaders is nicely described in his novel “Kal Shopno” Dalton has unleashed his creativity not only in writing he is also actively involved with Radio and TV.

Although this jack of all trades is yet to become master of anything, I am sure this irresistible boy will rock the cultural arena in future.
