A fare well lunch was arranged by Karachi chapter of 55th PMA Long Course in the honour of the out going DG ISI Lieutenant General Zahir ul Islam, who is retiring in the first week of November 2014. General Zahir has the honour to belong to 55th PMA Long Course and visa versa. He wore uniform with us on 12th May 1975 and systematically and gradually all retired from the colour service at their own retiring date. He has the now the honour to be the last from 55th PMA Long Course to hang his uniform for good. It was really humble of him to take out time for this farewell lunch from his very hectic schedule.
As usual Wasif arranged us all for for this lavish and delicious lunch which had never ending courses. Whenever I placed my spoon thinking that it is the last course but than see the steward bringing another course. It was also observed that the General enjoyed his food and, against his earlier habit, never said no to any dish served. May be it is a sign that he has started settling down for his post retirement life.
After the lunch, Wasif addressed the audience and delivered a speech which covered the sentiments of all present and presented memento as token of affection and long brotherhood to General Zahir ul Islam from the Karachi chapter of 55th PMA Long Course.
Here are few glimpses of the occasion. My apologies for the low quality prints as my camera developed fault and I have to hurriedly use my cell phone camera. Anyhow, more are likely to be pasted in due course as the camera photos are in progress.
WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK YOUNG MAN
