BTV airs 'Phire Esho Chithi' to rekindle feelings of bygone days

A letter is not merely a collection of a few words! It is like the sweetness of waiting, a tender fragrance clinging to the pages of paper. Every letter is like an echo of the beautiful throbbing of the heart's feelings.

The faded ink of the letters, the sweet bell of the postman's bicycle, a thousand-year-old tradition of communication and one of the companions of lived life: the "letter"!

Bangladesh Television (BTV) has arranged a new programme titled "Phire Esho Chithi" (Come Back, Letter).

The first episode of the programme was aired at 11.05pm on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The theme of this episode of the fortnightly programme was "Nazrul's letters".

Researched and scripted by eminent writer Anarjo Murshid and presented fluently by BTV news presenter Mehenaj Munni, the programme brought out the past and present of letters amid changing times through lively discussions and art shows.

The producer of the programme, which is based on history and heritage, is Golam Morshed, while the chief coordinator is Enamul Haque.

Doel Communications is the production support organisation.

Speaking about this, Producer Golam Morshed said, "In this specially research-based programme, we are inviting young guests alongside senior guests for discussions. Through bridging two generations, 'Phire Esho Chithi' has become a mirror of time. And in that mirror, the story of fast-moving feelings from generation to generation is being visualised."

Doel Communications Chief Executive Masiur Rahman said, "Letters have existed through the ages and will remain. Through this programme, we have tried to make that humane call about how important it is to understand the feelings of loved ones even in a busy life."
