Khalid 4 - Up, Up
Monday, 21 May 2012
Exclusive Khalid-4 Get Together at Islamabad reminded me so much of the past. Though I was not there but I can precisely feel what must have happened there. How Jalal hameed Bhatti, Mushtaq, Naveed, Hazrat Noor, Arshad, Razaq, Ikram Kiyanai, Shahid Qadar and Mujeeb must have behaved. I can even quote what they must have talked to each other. This is the level of relationship and long time association we have.
I started my life in the army with Khalid 4 – my first platoon and one of the largest in 55 PMA. I vividly remember Capt (later Brig) Ghulam Nabi – a great soldier and human - who was our Platoon Commander. We were total 31 cadets (including 5 relegees). Later I was promoted to the rank of Company Sergeant Major and posted to Tipu Company (we use to call it Tipu Tigers.
Jalal Hameed Bhatti adds about this meet, "Few days back, a few of us got together in the Artillery Mess of Rawalpindi on an all-boys night out to reminisce the memories, remembering those who left us too early and of the days we were together - same age, same aspirations, same goals and same dreams. Although these so many years have gone past so quickly and these go falling in the fading light, drifted into the time passages, yet their memories are still as fresh as when were passing through these each day, recalling days when were just young boys and now with grey hair (or in some cases no hair). We have wealth of memories that reverberate deep within us when we have once again become part of the crowd - but hinged to the memories that we so eagerly want to get back to."
