I recall how he used to interact with the cadets so
well during our Petaro days. When I met him in 2004 - 35 years after I left
Petaro, he reminded me that I had beat him in the game
of Scrabble when I was in Matric. It was such a good
feeling that he not only remembered me, but he
remembered that incident so well. Such is the greatness of these teachers
of ours.
Soon after he joined
the college, he was given charge of the
English Debating
Club for a year in 1966. In his patronage, he
groomed a number of fine debaters. He was also the
Patron of The Cadet
magazine in 1968.
After Petaro, he held
different positions, and eventually became the Principal of
Sadiq Public School.
After his retirement, he
chose to settle down in Karachi. At present he is the
Principal of the Army Public School in Malir.
