Abstract

Taslima Nasreen is a Bangladeshi author whose name is always in the news. Sometimes it's because she said something bold and honest about fanaticism, and other times it's because she gave a voice to oppressed people who had never dared to say what they felt inside. Today, the world is moving forward in the area of technology. Art and writing are getting better and better as time goes on. Still, it's sad to say that there is a corner where everything is dark, even though it looks like everything is fine from the outside. The author who has the courage to bring this darkness out into the open is Taslima Nasreen, who is not afraid of the oppressive powers. The poet in Taslima Nasreen can't ignore how important it is to touch the body, which also needs to rest and feel safe. Love is the medicine that makes the body feel better. The kiss is a way to show love. When the poet has done everything from early morning until late in the evening, he or she is too tired. Love is what she needs. She is used to getting two kisses on the lips from her lover. She can't get enough of love being shown through a kiss on her lips. She can't picture being able to sleep or rest without a kiss from her lover.
