Amazing read
Awsome site
Like before, I have to commend you on this wonderful job. Well Done Sabah!
What a presentation!
His Gran-father, Father would definately have been very proud of him. What an asset to the Family.
Well Done Sabah Zahid!
I highly appreciate everyones comments.
Thank you.
Its simply amazing. We do have our son-of-the -soil heroes. All that is needed is to make them famous and let the people know that we do have our own heroes of which we should be proud of.
I can’t believe I missed this. It’s amazing! Great job Saba!
Sabah, i am very proud of you to have created an eye opener for the Mauladad family, and to show how famous uncle Bali was. i have tried to find additional info,pictures,but in vain yur Dad got the best from my Mother,there is a book called “Encounter with lions” by Jan Hemsing i canot find the book,but if you can there is quite a lot of text and pictures. Zahid has called me several times but i could not find it,i will carry on searching,and also in stored old archives to find any pictures. All i can remember as a child and in my teens uncle Bali used to call me “papru” when ever he came back from safari’s, and i used to love exploring the dirty,muddy land-rovers,pretending to be a hunter,playing with empty gun stands,and being held in the arms of uncle Bali,and his gun bearers Mbebi and kipsoi. Uncle Bali’s favourite dish was moongi daal with green chillies/onions on the side with hot chapatis served at no time notice,only a call from New Stanley hotel. I would suggest to add uncle Bali’s pictures in his youth to his prime and family members on this site.
Salam Uncle Assad,
I really appreciate your comments and input. I have bought the book “Encounter with lions” by Jan Hensing from Canada. I am working on your suggestion and we are going to add a family page to this website and a separate page about his car racing rallies. His family page will include his complete family tree supported by photographs. I already told my dad to collect and send the relevant information regarding all the family members of Chaudhry Mauladad.
I ejoyed reading your experiences with my grandfather and I hope to add more pictures of my grandfathers youth.
Kind Regards,
Sabah.
Fascinating web page you’ve put up. Thank you, very much
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article – however you forgot to mention he took out the famous Aristotle Onasis. I remember him well – happy memories
