"Book two is finished. Book one's theme was - freedom and confinement are not always antitheses. And in book two, the author plays with the theme of time and relevance. Life goes on, titles and fame get insignificant... Book two got more momentum, loving the journey with Count Rostov's." — Mar 22, 2026 11:47AM

“Nostalgia” comes from the Greek word nostos, to return home, and algos, pain. The ancients used the term to describe the state of mind of Hellenic soldiers of Alexander the Great garrisoned in far-off Asia.

“Adri's heart has time to break many times as she crouches down to get a better look at the child. Adri has seen war, she's seen suffering, but you never get used to it. You never know what to say to a four-year-old who hurts and thinks that's normal, because life has never shown her anything else.”

“একবার যখন দেহ থেকে বা'র হয়ে যাব
আবার কি ফিরে আসবো না আমি পৃথিবীতে?
আবার যেন ফিরে আসি
কোনো এক শীতের রাতে
একটা হিম কমলালেবুর করুণ মাংস নিয়ে
কোন এক পরিচিত মুমূর্ষুর বিছানার কিনারে।”
