The Appearance
The appearance of Misir Ali may be a mystery in itself. His physical description is not fully given anywhere in the books. It is said that he is a middle-aged man. It is also often stated that he is tall, thin, and wears thick powerful glasses. It has been stated multiple times in the stories that he has strangely intelligent eyes.
In some Bangladeshi teleplays, Misir Ali is portrayed as bearded or with a moustache. Whether he really has a beard or a moustache may be questioned. It has been confirmed by the author himself in one of his autobiographies that Misir Ali has a headful of hair, thick-framed glasses, and unshaven stubble. These are the only constant aspects of his appearance.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“Hence, the less government we have, the better,—the fewer laws, and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal Government, is, the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual; the appearance of the principal to supersede the proxy; the appearance of the wise man, of whom the existing government, is, it must be owned, but a shabby imitation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“This mesa plain had an appearance of great antiquity, and of incompleteness; as if, with all the materials for world-making assembled, the Creator had desisted, gone away and left everything on the point of being brought together, on the eve of being arranged into mountain, plain, plateau. The country was still waiting to be made into a landscape.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
