Good By Muhammad Zahir Khan

Lahore was sizzling on one of the hottest evening on June 27 when over 75 members of 55the PMA Long Course Lahore Chapter and their families were having a cool evening in a fabulous get together in an environment that is always characterized by emotions, passions, love, affiliations and cherished memories.

Evening started with greeting each other and usual “Oh, Hi, Long Time, Bohre Ho Gaie Ho, Bache Itne Bara ho Gaie Heian”. Everyone was updating each other. We all met Saqlain’s daughter, a wonderful young lady whos name is the best in the world, Khalid’s daughter who is leaving her marks in mass communication studies, Fazal’s son, a very cluefull young man, who has completed his 12th year of education and is looking for line of career (I think like his father he will settle for engineering). Then Qadri’s son who has graduated from Ghulam Ishaq Khan. He was escorting his father after major surgery. Like always I observed that seeing the course mates engrossed with each other, lady wives were surprised on ‘how these people act when they are together.”

Evening went well over sumptuous food. And at the end, Brig Muhammad Zahir Khan took the rostrum. Brig Zahir Khan is a wonderful man; passionate, full of conviction and emotions and completely in know of what is happening to men at their best who belong to 55 PMA. This being his last course event (he along with other brigadiers of 55 PMA is hanging his helmet on July 15, 2009), he updated about everything and also recapped what Lahore Chapter has been doing over past two years. His beautiful pictorial of previous occasions when we had gathered brought even more memories. Good by Muhammad Zahir Khan, you have knitted the 55 PMA family very well. We will remember each and every moment ever. But who says this was the last get together. We are going to meet again; soon. No? Stay tuned. Pitures of the evnt are coming.
