Description
Summary:[...]not one of the trains and convoys he escorted suffered a single casualty. [...]with those unfortunate souls who crossed swords with him with limited information and or knowledge in his area of expertise, he was ruthless Ü.The punishment was either a really really long lecture, to be listened to in complete silence followed by a curt recommendation to read this book and that book and then given photo copies of his articles and writings, some to be read in deathly silence right there and then!! The less fortunate, if lucky, were just treated to a silent cup of tea, if that, and sent post haste back to where they'd come from!! Sheena and our children, Sara Haider Mehdi, Shayaan e Mohammad Mehdi and Shaan e Ali Mehdi were privileged that he lived with us for many years and on a daily basis soaked in his tremendous wisdom and intellect.
