Himu or Himaloy (Bengali: হিমু or হিমালয়) is a fictional character created by the Bangladeshi writer Humayun Ahmed who appears in a disjunct series of novels.[1] The character first appeared in the novel titled Mayurakkhi published in 1990.[2]

Character

The real name of the character is Himalay, a name given by his father. He follows a lifestyle that was instructed by his psychopathic father who wanted him to be a great man (Bengali: মহাপুরুষ).

Himu wears a yellow panjabi that does not have a pocket and lives a mostly nomadic life. He walks barefoot on the streets of Dhaka without a certain destination. He does not have a job and, therefore, no source of income. He prefers the life of a beggar to that of a hard worker, often praising begging. The charterer is decidedly eccentric and unorthodox in outlook.[3]

He has a large number of followers for his spiritual power of predicting future events of anyone, including those of police officers, beggars, neighbors, relatives, and tea stall proprietors. Most of the time he indifferently speaks unpleasant truth about the person with whom he talks.

Himu unlike the atheist psychology Professor Misir Ali argues that the beliefs make things happen, not inspecting or asking questions. This aspect of him makes him a person who lives by the magical side of the world, not using logic.

There are 21 novels about Himu.Five others are Himu-based.
