The biggest compliment was that he was very large hearted. I was close friends with Amu mainly due to Wanderers Cicket Club, he too was like his dad I am told.
This brings back many memories and reflections, happy to remeber but also sad due to the loses.
Warm regards

My father the late mohd attaur Rahman honorary elder of the kikuyu friend of pio gama pinto and mboya, always remembered with great affection his big game shooting days in Kenya with Bali
I believe Bali was gored by a cape buffalo whilst using a 416 Rigby.

I just came across your name on this website. I presume you knew one Me Baldev Chibber of Nairobi. Me and my family members once visited you at your home in the fifties. Would be glad if that was the case.

Bali went on weekend safari with Afzak Chaudhri, my brother, someone senior from the Pakistani Embassy and others. They were chasing to get to some game , Bali driving his new Landrover, it hit a hole in ground (probably dug by wild dogs or hyenas, the front wheel went in, the long n short was, Afzal ended with cut earlobe on the gun rack. I understand the Pakistani official was smoking , he swallowed the lighted ciigarette, yuk, must have been painful.

From Mombasa, I was in Lahore when I went to meet Bali, was staying in The FLATTIES, the only 5 star hotel in LAhore, on the Mall.

Bali was busy organising the logistics for MGM shooting film BHOWANI JUNCTION. The leading actor was Stewart Granger with Ava Garner – attracted many, seeking autographs and Bali was happy to get these for them.

BHOWANI JUNCTION was filmed in Lahore based on John Masters novel.
university students in Lahore, from Kenya were with Bali who had arranged meeting the actress Ava Gardner and Stewart Granger.
All MGM crew was in the Flatties Hotel.

In Kenya MGM’s Richard Brooks filmed SOMETHING OF VALUE based on Robert Ruark’s book. The leading actors were Sidney Poitier and Rock Hudson.
Bali helped MGM on this filming also – the helping was not for free !

Indeed the MAULADAD HOUSE was on Forest Road, across from Sikh Union Club cricket ground. MAULADAD family lived in this big house on a large plot of land; which had a detached guest house, garages for 3 cars, servants quarters and of course the TANDOOR, on the side of house covered under corrogated sheets .

I hope in am not mistaken in thinking that the Mauladad Family home was righy opposite the “Sikh Union” today known as the “Simba Union”. If so, My Gran-Father was a neighbour.
Our Family House literally behind the Mauladad Family Home.

Please confirm if I am thinking of the same family.

kind rgds,

Kuldip

Ps: Enjoy reading your Blog~and to know that someone is proud of his ancestor.
