After 31 years, Colvin, Ganj, Girls of IT COllege and Loretto, Simsons, Ranjana&#39;s &amp; Aminabad continue to haunt me even now, . Akhilesh Das, my class fellow in Colvin, was a scoundrel even then, remains a scoundrel and will remain a scoundrel till his grave,which unfortunately in the current political scenario is not going to be very near in future, despite all our wishfull thinking. I miss Gomti,I miss Vintage Car rallies, I miss morning shows in Mayfair, I miss the conversation I used to have with a &#39;rickshawala&#39; which went something like this - &quot;रिक्शे आले (&#39;aale&#39; not &#39;waale&#39;) , हज़रतगंज जाओगे?&quot;... &quot;हाँ जाएँगे&quot;.. &quot;कितने पैसे लोगे?&quot;... &quot;जो मुनासिब हो दे दीजिएगा&quot;... &quot;तुम बताओ के कितने मुनासिब होते हैं&quot;... &quot;वैसे तो पचहत्तर पैसे होते हैं!&quot;... &quot;अमाँ छोड़ो, पचास में तो कल गये थे&quot;... &quot;हनुमान सेतु पर चढ़ाई कितनी है&quot;.. &quot;छोड़ो, हम तांगा ले लेंगे&quot; &quot; चलिए सत्तर दे दीजिएगा&quot;... &quot;चलो!&quot;.

They are amazing.<BR/><BR/>Wanted to congratulate you on your clarity of thought, a balanced approach and a wonderful attempt to portray true nature of muslims.<BR/><BR/>I have had verbal duels with hindu fundamentalist supporters and I've always felt an acute need of muslim voices that echo my perception of IM. With people like you, it becomes easier for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and many appreciations.Abhiramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07219856053834569840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-27962988279364344852008-10-05T04:14:00.000-07:002008-10-05T04:14:00.000-07:00Belated Eid Mubarak!

I have been addicted to your blog for quite some time. Gomti has a special place in my memory as I used to watch its " masti" and beauty during the monsoons and <BR/>her cries for the rest of the nine months!!. Is darya ki khamoshi bhi aik khoobsoorat ghazal kahtee thee. It was fun to see its flow from Motimahal Hostel balcony with sardar ji's Paratha/anda in one hand and either Times of India/ or Dainik Jagran in the other hand. We used to organize taraveeh prayers on the top of the hostel and there was always communal harmony amongst all of us. We used to share joyous moments on the eve of holi also together. <BR/>At times I used to bike from my hostel to Nakkhas/near chirya bazzar to my Phoophis house. though it was hard to bike around KGMC charhai!!! Bhai used to bring Kulcha Niahri and Toonde ke Kabob. There used to be a place in Nakkhas where kashmiri Chai used to be served. I hope that tradition is still alive. <BR/>It should be a fun for you on the eve of Chand raat there. Khoob Gahma Gahmi hogi. Tarah tarha ke rangeen kapre, joote, topian etc goya ki kandhe chil rahe honge!!!. haan yeh baat aur hai ki usmaein koi aisa bhi hoga Jo apni ammi kai liye apne bachaye hue paise se " roti banane ka chamta" khareed raha hoga(reminds me Munshi Premchand). I hope it is all peaceful and is celebrated with the spirit of love and "bhaichargi"<BR/>and communal harmony.<BR/>best wishes and duain<BR/>Anser Azim ChicagoAnser Azimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13482708104207832770noreply@blogger.com
