Fahad's Farewell on 22 September 2007
On september 22, 2007 We held an iftar party in the GIST kitchen for bid farewell to Fahad bhai who was leaving for U.S to start a job there. His work place is located in California and he went there on H1 visa. He had already completed his two years in PhD at GIST. He froze his PhD and went for US aiming to come back after one year, though it is uncertain. Lets see what happens as I will be here more than one more year. Many kinds of food was available. Tallal made Pakoray, Dr. Nasar brought some dumplings filled with minced meat, Fahad made some sharbat, Dr. Asif brought Biryani, we contributed in Juice, Pizza, Fruit and the rest. The food was very delicious. After the dinner we made some tea using the 'Earl Gray Tea' which had expired 2 years ago. We were joking about the harmful effects of expired tea while quoting about the people died in these days because of poisonous liquor in Karachi, Pakistan. But thank God, nothing happened to us. It was a beautiful evening. Tariq bhai and Umer were missing during the event. Later Umer told me that he had gone to the GIC. I dont know why Tariq bhai did not come. The food was more than enough and most of the Pizza was not consumed. We saved it in the fridge and used it in the Seher on next day. Fahad bhai left for U.S on 29th September. I met them on the sehri on that day. We really had a very good time with him and he was liked by everybody in GIST. Fahad bhai we wish you best of luck towards your future endeavours.
