 In the same year , together with Subhas Mukhopadhyay and others , Ray was able to revive Sandesh , the children 's magazine which his grandfather once published . Ray had been saving money for some years to make this possible . A duality in the name ( Sandesh means both " news " in Bengali and also a sweet popular dessert ) set the tone of the magazine ( both educational and entertaining ) . Ray began to make illustrations for it , as well as to write stories and essays for children . Writing became his major source of income in the years to come .
