Yes, you are totally right about the quality of his writing. He was basically a good commercial story teller with Bangla simplicity that average Bangladeshis could identify themselves with. I have not read him that much but watched some of his dramas. The man departed too soon for his age, I suppose. He will be missed deeply in Bangladesh!

Humayun Ahmed was a good friend of mine for twenty years,1974-93. His literature was mediocre, but he earned enviable popularity. I am sure he would be remembered for a while.

He has given a new life to the TV-drama-world in Bangladesh. I am sure - he has shown ways to so many lost drifters through his novels, dramas, and writings. I have never met him personally but - the news of his departure felt like a loss of a close relative. May God rest his departed soul with peace and tranquility for eternity!
