Heartfelt condolences! Knew General Rahim as a senior 4 Balochi, met him a few times at Reunions. Knew General Naseer Akhtar well from CCH where he was in the Ist Year FSc and I and his brother Munir Akhtar buddies in the 8th Class. Muzaffar Usmani was my coursemate: 36th PMA 2/
2/ Of all 3 I was closest to General Naseer Akhtar, or 'Naseer Thee' as he was called in School. Munir Akhtar's nickname was 'Mochi' (mine was Chakki for my fat behind!): I lost contact with Mochi in about 1967. He moved to the U.S. if I recall. Gen. Naseer's younger 3/
3/ brother was the lovely man Naeem Akhtar who was Wing Commander Aurangzeb Wing when I joined school. If I recall he was killed in the '65 war in the rank of Captain? If anyone remembers better do tweet please. The memories are flooding back. These were the Officers and 4/
4/ Gentlemen of the Army I knew and was a proud part of. They were not Pizza sellers and kidnappers and torturers...5/
5/ Neither would they sully their reputations by being seen in the same photograph with #Yahoos and #Goondas like #ChheedaTalli aka @ShkhRasheed let alone being buddsy wuddsy with him!!
6/ I should not have sullied this thread by including #ChheedaTalli's name in it. However on to happier memories. As to nicknames, like all boarding schools virtually everyone had one unless one was completely colourless and drab! So we had a 'Champion', his younger brother 7/
7/ was 'Khota' (No not #Selected @ImranKhanPTI), and the next brother 'Lidd' - yes donkey-shit😂🤣A cousin of theirs was 'Makkhi'! Incidentally Major 'Champion' was a wonderful Senior and remained my friend for a long time. The poor man lost a leg in a freak accident with a 8/
8/ tonga but never lost his humour, his big laugh, and great kindness for his Juniors. I recall that I met him once at his house in Islamabad and @KhawajaMAsif, who is also from Cadet College, was there too? So, nicknames: There were three seniors called Terry, Goli, and Atiq 9/
9/ who let out (!) at different times, each in a different tune. So the chant when any of them were within earshot went like: 'Terry TIYOON; Goli PHAEYNN; Atiq CHI
😂😜Of course Terry who was from HasanAbdal itself, and senior and bigger than me beat me up at least once! 10/
10/ Another great Senior was Lt. Gen. Iftikhar Ali Khan, Ch. Nisar's brother. Very pleasant, and kind man, who and I remained Senior and Junior friends for long years...

Two beautiful experiences happened/are happening to me today: 1) I went to Lowe's the hardware folk to buy a sack of birdfeed for my teeming feeder. My debit card was not accepted because a return payment had not been credited. The lady my age who was tending the cash out said 2/
2/ 'Wait. We can't let the birds go hungry and paid the $32.60 herself. I was AWE struck and thanked her. No, honey, go feed the birds! P.S. @M_Suharwardy she was a 'Tori'. 2) I am now watching the eclipse. The moon is 7/8th it's size, it is getting dark, the birds are in 3/
3/ (Sorry, Muzamal, GORI!!). ...their nests, it is almost dusk at 3.45 PM. Subhan Teri Qudrat I say, wondering about the vastness of the Universe and the insignificance of us creatures. I mean if our earth is a mote of dust in the Universe, we humans must be motes of dust on 4/

Disagree totally! UNPRECEDENTED Janab Farooqi Sahib? UNPRECEDENTED? Does your understanding of Pakistan's political history start with this cruel #Dolt's being foisted upon the country through blatant rigging and end with his being kicked out of office? Forgotten ZAB's 2/
2/ judicial assassination? Forgotten the huge bombing of Benazir's procession that killed upwards of 500 poor political workers, wounded hundreds more, she herself being shot in the head? Forgotten Mr. Nawaz Sharif's imprisonment in Attock Fort and the death sentence awarded 3/
3/ him. You two gents have forgotten the repeated dismissals of 5 PMs, ALL elected? Forgotten the years long jailing of Benazir in Sukkur Jail next to the lunatics barracks, the jail staff supplying them with brickbats to throw on her barracks roof? Forgotten the awful 4/

I am surprised you've only JUST found that we are not a 'serious country', young man! Let me tell you a little story. While ZAB was undergoing his 'murder' trial in the LHC (not Sessions) he used to be brought to court in the back of an open police van, sitting on a cane chair 2/
2/ the jail doctor had recommended it due to ZAB's bad back. One day the chair was missing and when he asked why, he was told,'Hukam nahein hai'. So he refused to sit on the wooden benches. Telephones jangled and one hour later a chair was produced. He arrived in the court 2 3/
3/ hours late. Maulvi Mushtaq roared, 'WHY are you late'? ZAB said, 'My Lord, you know why'. 'Don't talk to me like that, you criminal' Maulvi shouted (Not 'accused', mark). ZAB: 'My Lord, don't shout at me, I am a former President and PM of the country'. 'You are a criminal, 4/

Extremely horrid optics ...
2/ Which quite obviously means NO action will be taken against the great Bajwa, nor against his aiders and abettors Faiz and Ghafoor who, 1) conspired with the Judiciary to remove Mr. Nawaz Sharif from office, disqualify him for life and jail him to make way for the 3/
3/ #FascistGoof who they then #RIGGED into office. And who then proceded to destroy the poor country's Economy, Social Mores, and Foreign Relations. AND who brought the Army to a near mutiny. Indeed, Ghafoor also called better Pakistanis than him who live abroad for fear of 4/

Spot On. BUT we must be mindful about OTHER politicians Human Rights!!
2/ The crackdown on Imran Khan 'Sahib's' ill-read young supporters who went to the extent of beheading Capt. Karnail Sher Khan's statue is certainly 'draconian'. Well, so was the lifelong disqualification and jailing of 'Nawaz Sharif' under a compact between the then ISI chief 3/

Indeed! Also, @baqirsajjad makes no mention of: 1) That PM Nawaz Sharif was dismissed from office and jailed in a sham case by a Kangaroo Court, the Judiciary acting in consort with the Army to make way for Imran who was then MASSIVELY #Rigged into power by the Army in broad 2/
2/ daylight and on Live TV; 2) He does not say that Project Imran was fathered by 4 COASs and 5 DGs ISI over 20 years; 3) Nor that Imran's sit-in In Islamabad was engineered by the Army which resulted in massive trouble for citizens, and when PTI thugs led by none other than 3/
3/ the present 'President' of Pakistan attacked and ransacked Pakistan Television; 3) Whilst he talks about the 'poor government policies' of the present government he does not tell us that the economy took a nose dive during Imran's time, the Rupee falling from 105.00 to 4/
