After I closed the book, I sat in silence...my hands pressed against the closed book and my eyes closed equally tight.... I didn't know if there were tears behind my shut eyelids(because when I opened I found none)....The abrupt silence at the end seemed to continue in my hall... I took a long time to finish this book.. Probably reading 20 or 30 pages each time... I think because I stayed longer with him, I feel more attached to him... And Bilal... I loved Bilal so much that even now the thought that he is no more fills me with a grief that is very personal .......What a writer Anees is! What a view of a cliff town has he created! What a reality has he strewn with words not spoken, words expected and the words that never found meaning!!!
