My Former Course Mate Mr Khursheed Ahmed

Dear Khursheed

It has been a long time that we have not met each other. We started to revive our friendship about 5 years ago when I browsed our University Alumni to find out contacts of all our lost friends. Luckily I found your hotmail address, and that was where our friendship started to bloom again. The last moment that I called you was when I was doing my master degree at Bradford University. I just wonder how did I manage to get your phone number or address and I got an invitation for your wedding. I was trying hard to attend your wedding with my wife but I got no personal transport and it quite a haste to ride with a train than change to a bus and another public transport just to reach Nelson, Preston. I wish I was there during your wedding and I like to see how you are growing up with your family and children.
.
You know, I still remember how you presented me a "Khurta" that was sewn by your sister. When ever you returned from your hometown, you never forgot to bring the spinach curry that I admired until today. I will never forget to remind my wife to prepare that recipe extracted from my favorite cooking book written by Pamela Punjabi. Those are memories that will never parish from my sincere heart and will still be there forever.
.
Time passes by so fast. After being separated for almost more than 20 years, only yesterday you manage to forward me your most handsome and candid photograph. You never changed except your old black plastic glasses and your long curly hair already gone. Your beard and smile still remained the same. You look very young and energetic. Are there any secret recipes that you would like to share with us? But now, would you like to share your family photo? Lastly, I always hope that we can reunite anywhere be it Kuala Lumpur or London, even Paris, just to share our precious lives, perhaps to be the most memorable experience.

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan

Pokok Kemboja Inilah pokok kemboja yang baru aku semai. Harap harap dan berdoa hiduplah mereka Ini satu lagi semaian dari spesis baru yang aku dapat dari SB Kemboja yang di semai semula akibat tumbang ti tiup ribut tahun lepas suadah subur dan baru mula berbunga. Warnanya bright pink Ini pun sama juga kemboja yang mula berbunga selepas di tanam semula akibat tumbang di pukul ribut. Inilah kemboja besar berwarna orange and pink. Risau juga takut tumbang di tiup angin. Do you know that Kemboja possesses its very own characteristic smell? Yesterday I was picking the varieties of Kemboja from the ground and I started to smell them. To my astonishment, all of them explained a different kind of aroma. . I was at SB one day and while I was enjoying driving and viewing the varieties of plants, I saw a pink with maroon lining Kemboja by the road side. I stopped my car and asked the Indon man how much was the Kemboja. He said RM75. The size was about3 feet tall and already blooming. I was cont
