Participated in Zoom dua for Nadeem Mumtaz of Fazal Din & Sons, praying for his maghfirat & strength for the family I posted:

Assalam o alaikum all, two before & two following me ie five generations have climbed the steps to Fazal Dins the Mall Lahore,
my dua is that my generations to follow may also know the conviction that up these steps would lie answer to their medicines needs right away or procured in a couple of days, aamin

 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

 Buddha stone carvings, Crosses, abandoned broken down stone hut mosques in remote valleys, supposedly ghosts guarding ‘kools’ water channels, & the ethereally surreal groaning of glacial moraines, the search for ‘salaget’under large boulders ...

 Add to this hills like volcanoes of closed craters where an annual Zho or Yak is sacrificed to keep dormant!
And tales of goats lost to tigers!
The ‘Sia’ (rose) & meadows green with dandelion billowing in the wind!
The Shyok taking it’s toll in life to feed the Indus!
The Genie’s shalwar left to dry on the hill side across the Gilgit river
The panning for gold as the snows melt!
All part of the now forgotten romance of the north!
Lost to development in the name of progress; the slopes of the 8 thousanders covered in trash!

Copied from A forum:

It is time we named this city as ASGHARABAD, after Air Marshal Asghar Khan. It is a shame to continue with this colonial name, a major who conquered it, and we still honour him.
I hope someone who is in a position to bring this about makes a move .

 My take on this:
———-

My views are that name change & removal of statues are in bad taste & mindset not ready to learn from history!

I have said this on other forums where the recent tearing down of statues in the US was discussed!

 We may hate our history but renaming or breaking does not change it, just adds a chapter to it!

After all we still joke about Layallpuris not Faisalabadis
People still use The Mall
And Drigh Road is the main artery in Karachi

The only name that has stuck is Gadaffi stadium!
