Rest in Peace Nadeem Mumtaz 😢
You are so familiar yet I just can’t place you!
Having been away from Lahore for half an age has made me lose touch with half a life!
@NabihaMeher this is a thread about memories from childhood to a time Lahore became alien to me!

#FazalDinSons The Mall Lahore, my earliest memory is going with my Dadi Mrs Ghulam Nabi Malik as a toddler to what was a shop with stairs, a veranda, an imposing tall door, & dark polished show cases, even as a toddler awesome interior was foreboding!
The Carminative misture,

The Calamina Lotion, & the dreaded Anti-lice lotion (shudders even now) which none did better!
The wooden floor reminded me of tap-dancing & the gent at the end of the hall standing up to welcome us! Always knew we Grandchildren were home for the holidays & a warm handshake

Before the advent of ‘patent’ medicines we waited for the prescription to be filled!
Then came 1978 & our trips to Lahore became a week a year affair!
Yet from Sanda road in 54 to Ganda Nulla next to LOS, to Zaildar Park Ichra, to Main Gulberg, & Muslim Town in 1975

& the opening of med stores, the drive to FD on the Mall was a must - the regal haleem stop, long gone now Imperial Books, the Hico padle van on the corner of the Horseshoe added attractions!
The welcome was always the same, sadly missed last I went few years back!
