Some days I call Rupa from a pay phone and say, “Rupa, will you put on a blue saree real quick and stand on your belcony? I really wanna see you. Just stand there for a while. I will walk by the street next to your flat.” I know Rupa doesn’t believe me. Yet she puts on a saree real nicely. Ties up her hair in a bun. Just touches the kohl on her waterline and stands on her belcony. She waits. I never go. I can’t be like other guys. I have to be extraordinary. I walk all day long. The road never ends. The road without a destination isn’t supposed to end anyways. “eyes like peacock” Humayun Ahmed

From the book "bohubrihi" (one with many dimensions) by Humayun Ahmed. The quote translates "giving you all the light, keeping the darkness for myself". A renowned belated author and one of my favorites.
