“সূরা বনি ইসরাইলে আল্লাহ্‌পাক বলেছেন - 'আমি প্রত্যেক মানুষের ভাগ্য তার গলায় হারের মত পরিয়ে দিয়েছি।' আমরা সবাই গলায় অদৃশ্য হার নিয়ে ঘুরে বেড়াচ্ছি। কার হার কেমন কেউ জানে না।”

“The years of disillusion, the long debate of who-belongs-to-who, gathered at the mighty feet of the Bangladesh Liberation War like flood waters rising, gathering thick weeds and crusty dirt and pulling it all in one direction. At times, when the body count was high and the air tasted like bloody ash, the way mass graves smell, Sariyah had wondered what progress was supposed to taste like. Often it tasted like unanswered questions, stuck in the teeth. Bangladesh had given her the true answer, though: progress at its best is home-grown. It should taste like joy – pure, unhindered joy. Like the freshest sun-ripened mango on a tree, a little sunrise in her palm.”
