The only lacuna that exists within this site is that it does not cater to regional literature, which is so rich and diverse in itself. It would have been so useful to have a space here to exchange books in other languages too. Maybe some day, I would see a "Gotya", "Gora" or a "Shyamchi Aai" in these very pages. I wait for that day. :-)
