Boojho Tau Janein?

Posted by Shahran on August 7, 2007

I must say that I am delighted to see this blog, after such a long wait, where all NEDians can share their thoughts. This is an attempt to provide another place for discussion, where NEDians can discuss their thoughts and ideas, not only with fellow NEDians but also with the rest of the world.

This blog is an attempt to bring together the voice of NEDians, talking about things they would normally, at NED, enjoy discussing over a cup of tea or a Kabab Roll at Mech Corner, Civil Lawn or at some teacher’s room.

Having said that, here is my first Blog: “Boojho Tau Janain” .

Maumaa yeh hai ………………..

He is a prominent personality who is no longer associated with NED but most NEDians would remember him for his services.

He has been in the profession for 30 years and had earned a doctorate from a country which is in the news these days :) .

To his credit are numerous extracurricular events at NED.

His interests include the poetry of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, which is increasingly popular in the US these days. He even organized an event titled “An Evening with Rumi” a couple of years ago, which had Urdu, Persian and English recitals of Rumi’s Masnavis.

Like other teachers, NEDians had given him a notorious title–and he even expressed his anger when students used to call him with it :)

I am not sure how that title was given and what was the root cause but we can discuss that later.

But I would first like the NEDians to guess this revered personality.
