অটোগ্রাফ

By -
গত সপ্তাহে জার্মান এম্বাসি থেকে আমার একটা কার্টুন কিনেছে। আমি তখন ছুটিতে তুরস্কে অবস্থান করছিলাম। তাই তারা কার্টুনটা ডেলিভারি নেয়নি। তাদের ইচ্ছা আমার অটোগ্রাফ সহ কার্টুনটা কিনবে বলে গ্যলারী থেকে জানালো।  আজ যখন গ্যলারিতে গেলাম তখন, এরিক বলল কার্টুন টিতে একটা শুভেচ্ছা বার্তা লিখে সাক্ষর করতে। এরিক আরো জানালো জার্মার এম্বাসেডর কার্টুনটি দেখে খুব পছন্দ করেছেন, এবং কার্টুনটা তার ছেলেকে উপহার হিসাবে পাঠাতে চান।
আমি যদিও সাধারণত কাউকে অটোগ্রাফ দেই না,  তবে মাঝে মাঝে দিতে ভালই লাগে।
