I am a St Anthonian from Lahore. I was admitted to First Standard in 1950 and matriculated in 1958 and joined FC College. Then got my engineering degree from UET Mughalpura in 1964. I have been living outside of Pakistan since 1980.
Recently I came across your writings and thoroughly enjoyed your style. The one on Jack Fardy is hilarious. He had taught us in 7th and 8th standard of “B” Section.
I notice that the piece on Jack Fardy starts with a reference to April 1968 when Martin Luther King was eliminated in USA. I was studying for my masters degree in the US at that time.
When were you in St Anthony’s? And where are you currently based?
I just returned after a 10-week visit to Pakistan. Would like to meet you on my next trip.
Dear Nizami saheb, many thanks for appreciating my work with the usual Anthonian zeal.
You seem like a PUKKA Lahori, doing God knows what in Ottawa!
You're way senior to me. How were you able to pass ten classes in eight years? You must be a brilliant student, I suppose.
When was I there and where am I based are difficult questions to answer. I let the readers figure out the answers from my work and those subtle hints embedded in the articles. For you it means more classwork. Think of Mr. Fardy's thick cane and just get to work.
I believe there's an annual Anthonians' dinner coming up soon. Were you able to attend the centennial celebrations in 1992?
In the meanwhile, keep reading and commenting on my blog, and do pass on the web-link to other naughty boys.
I noticed that you got yourself listed in the GHAZIs if not the SHAHEEDs by joining as a FOLLOWER (while being a leader).
Still 'Under Construction'...
