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:
“A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy ... is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“Men of all professions affect such an air and appearance as to seem to be what they wish to be believed to be—so that one might say the whole world is made up of nothing but appearances.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
