People will start missing Dr. Yunus. It won\u2019t take long\u2014a maximum of a month. We had so much freedom back then; we\u2019ll feel it when that freedom gets squeezed again. Whatever the boys wanted, they did. When they felt like barging into the Secretariat, they did. Crashing an adviser\u2019s office? Easy. Five advisers in one meeting?

I feel bad that Yunus is no longer in power. I can\u2019t sleep at night. Showers happen fashionably late. From Fajr to Maghrib, I fast from food, water, intimacy, and even underwear (solidarity with the cause, you understand).
