\nSpirit of love all around<\/strong>
\nAn air of love was wafting through the Amar Ekushey Boi Mela yesterday, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day as couples were seen walking hand in hand in the fair precincts.
\nThe spring torrents brought the young souls and at the fair they seemed to have taken wings.
\nMany were seen buying books and flowers for their sweethearts, which added\u00a0a new dimension to the fair and turned it into a place meant for celebration.
\nThough it was not a holiday, stalls witnessed a huge sale, especially of volumes of love stories and poems.
\nCrowds were also seen around the food vendors outside the fair, as the couples enjoyed some delectable, local munchies.
\nTania Sultana of Rokeya Hall of Dhaka University accompanied by her better half said, \u201cWe were hanging out on the campus since morning to celebrate the Valentine’s Day,\u201d adding, \u201c Now, we are in the book fair to buy books for each other\u201d.
\nA total of 1,377 books hit the fair in first two weeks since its commencement. Like previous years, poems topped the list with 277 closely contested by novels, in which category 273 new titles arrived.
