Akhtaruzzaman Elias: The power of imagination
Had he been alive, he would have turned 82-year-old youth this February 12. I say "youth" because, in spirit, he remained ever youthful. He had a deep curiosity and interest in everything around him; he observed the world with the delight of seeing it for the first time. So, it can rightly be said that age never weighed him down—he was vibrant, fresh, and even when he was on the verge of death at 54 due to cancer, he did not give up.
