Raza was my batch mate and my roommate in Latif
House (1965-1969). We were the best of friends
throughout those 4 years.
Raza was a great guy always. He was one of the
best debaters that the college produced, and he
brought great laurels to the college in
inter-collegiate debates with different schools and won many
first prized in debating. He was President of the
English Debating Society.
He had a great voice, and was famous for the
English songs he sang. Most of us remember the
folk songs he used to sing.
In 12th class, he was elected the Chairman of the
College Honour Committee.
After Petaro, Raza
left for California, USA and joined the Northrop
Institute of Technology to study Aeronautical
Engineering.
Upon his return to
Pakistan, Raza decided to get into the field of
education, and he established the Foundation
Public School at Karachi. Over the years, FPS has
become one of the most prestigious educational
institutions in Pakistan. It has a branch at
Hyderabad as well.
It is an honour for
me to be the roommate and batch mate of Raza Kamal
Minhas. |
