Friendship is a gift that is fair in all things. It roots from one's heart and involve memories that stay not for a while but for a lifetime. Almost seven years we stayed in Dow Medical College. Shahid H.Abdi is one closest to me during that period and I carry uncountable memories of his friendship. I am specially thankful to him that he introduced me Dow79yahoo group in 2008. So that I was able to find and see the friends which I just could dream. Shahid you must be busy now a days in Ashura programs. Hope soon you will share your memories with everyone in the group. And please participate in 2012 Reunion in south Africa. May the blessings of Allah(SWT) always shower in your life, as you become a light for others. Have a pleasant and bright life. Mullick
