My Elder Brother BhaiJan @Akbar M. Bilgrami (Masroor) (1936 t0 2022) son of Syed Farrukh Hasan Bilgrami & Syeda Asia (Abida) Begum Bilgrami
I was born on 30th September 1941 likewise I was 5 years Younger than Bhaijan (Masroor). .
Mujhey Bhaijan mein Bhaijan yaad nahin , illa Partpgarh mein eik dafa Bhaijan k saath hum dono Railway Phatak ki taraf gaye thae Jahan per Surgeon ki Car (Blue color) Mud mein phuns gayee thee (Bhaijan ka saath Partapgarh ki eik yeh hi yaad hai)..
Bachpan (10 maah ki umer ) se apni walida Baaji Amma ki alalat ki wajeh se Amman Joe meri walida ki manjhli bahen theen aur inke shohar merey walid k sagey chotey maamoon, k saath Bhorikpur Partapgarh mein raha ,.Aksar Parents aur family se milne k liye House 5, Siptain Road, Partagarh Jaana hota thaa,
Aapa-Ji (Mushtaq ) joe Bhaijan se one n half years k qareeb choti theen , merey zahen mein hain, woh mujh ko dekh ker chipta laitee thee aur piyaar kerti theen , Suna hai ki hum dono ki shaklain miltee theen , Bhai-Mian (Qamrul Hasan) Joe Bhai Jan se barey thae woh toe achhi tarah yaad hain, Rai Bareli (1944 se 1946-7) se bhi Patrtap garh jana howa aur Bhai Mian k sath Partagarh k baazar mein chaat khayee thee, woh mujhko ley ker Rai Bareili aaya thae aur wahan pata chala ki Dadey aur Amman Bilgram chaley gsaye Barey Dadey ka Inteqal ho gaya (Shayed 1946-7) .,
Rai Bareili se Aligarh chaley gaye aur 1947 se 1952 tuk Bhaijan se raabta na howa .
Waqt guzerta gaya yaa aagey berhta gaya aur hum 1952 Hardoi mein Aligarh se aaye aur reunion of family howee , Iss zamaney mein bhi mein Amman Dadey k saath aur Bhaijan Babu Baji Amman k saath lekin hum sub ki rehayesh eik jagah joe Bavajan aur Ibban Bhai ka Baag aur Civil Lines ki eik bahut maaroof Jagah (Nazir Manzil ) thee.
Yahan Bhai jan aur mein Aam k baagh mein Hockey stick se Ball hit kertey aur eik doosrey ki taraf phainktey aur yahi Khail aksar hota thaa.
Bhaijan 9th mein thae aur mein sixth mein..Mein ne 8th clear ki toe Bhaijan ne Metric clear kiya .
Baag mein rehashi tabdeeli aayee aur Poora Khandan Nazir Manzil mein shift ho gaya thaa.1953.
2022 mein bhaijan se bahut rabta raha aur whatsapp per baat aur messages ka silsila raha , Itnee guftugo ya exchchanges of talks hum dono k beech kabhi nahin rahey thae, agar yeh kahoon ki saari zindagee ki guftugoo eik taraf aur 2022 ik eik tarah toe bhi 2022 ka palra bhari hi ho gaa . Is zamane mein bahut c nayee baatain bhaijan se maaloom hoyeen aur zindagee k bahut se nashaib wa faraza ka ilm howa .
Humko kiya pata thaa ki yeh 2022 hum dono ki zidagee ka Aakhri saal bun jaaye gaa aur Mera Bara bhai jiss se sagey rishton mein sub se purani rishtey daari hai woh Bara bhai 6 November 2022 ko apnee barayee k saath apni aakhri manzil ki taraf inteqal ker jaaye gaa.
Hardoi parahi k douran koyee khaas baatain toe yaad nahin , Bus mujhko sixth mein Bhaijan ka Coat serdion mein mila aur mein ne shouq se pehana thaa , Lekin phir seventh mein dubara inka coat mujhko diya jaane laga toe mein ne kaha ki mein purana nahi pehnoo gaa aur mujh ko bhi naya Coat aur Bhaijan ko bhi Naya Coat mila .

Bhaijan ne sen 2022 mein share kiya ki inka Metric kerna 1955 mein Bilgram mein hamarey ghar k liye eik bahut ahem baat thee aur Bavajan bahut khush hoye thae, Khandan mein kaafi arse k baad kisi ne Metric kiya thaa .>
Iss waqt hamarey gharelo Maashi haalaat bahut achchey na thae aur yeh Babu ,Baaji Amma k liye maashi aitbaar se eik mushkil waqt thaa. Lekin unhon ne yeh waqt bhi bahut baa-waqaar tareeqey se guzaara aur kisi k aagey haath nahin phailaye bus Allah ki madad aur himmat se hi agey bareh aur auladon ko ser utha ker jeena sikhaya. - Babu Kothi mein bhi kiraya dey ker rehtey thae .(Shayed Rs 5 diya kertey thae - Joe jagah Babu ne li ya inko mili yeh dhoyen se kaali hoyee thee, toe Akhtar joe bachey thae eik din boley ki Bavajaan ne humko yeh kaali jagah dee hai , hum bhi inko Kala hi ghar dein gae.
Amma ne mujh ko bataya thaa ki Farrukh mian ne tumko hamarey saath (1942) rakhne ki eik shert rakhi thee ki Mushir k Kapron aur taaleem ki zimmedaari ka khercha woh uthayen gae . (Khane peeney ka hisaab iss zamaney mein maayub samjha jaata thaa )
Yahin Nazir Manzil mein Bhaijan ko Urine infection (Paishab ruk gaya thaa ) aur woh aaj bhi mujh ko charpayee per laite hoye yaad hain.
Iss zamane k Bhaijan se bahut rabt zabt nahin thaa eik toe 5 saal ka ferq doosrey Bhaijan bahut khaamosh aur mein khilendra aur her jagah mera amal dakhal , Noeroz mein hum shareek Rung khailne mein , Patang urane mein, her khail mein sub saath saath bus Bhaijan hum sub se alag thalag .
Bhaijan ki aagey ki taaleem k liye Lucknow ka intekhab howa, Kiyun yeh faisla howa iska pata nahin, -
Lekin yeh baat aaj bhi yaad hai ki iske liye ghar mein zaraye na thae aur Baaji Amman ne apne saarey bertan tanbey aur Peetal k Baichey thae - woh barey barey bertanon ka dhaer aaj bhi meri nazron mein hai bahut barey bertan thae .
Bhaijan Lucknow chaley gaye aur wahan eik kamre mein kiraye per rehtey thae aur College mein perhtey thae . Iss zamane mein mein Amman aur Dadey k saath Muharrum ka aashura kerne k liye Manjhley daadey k ghar gaya thaa. Daadey/Amman aksar Manjhley Dadey k paas Lucknow jaatey thae aur mein toe inke saath hi hota tha .
Lucknow mein Manjhley Dadey aur Manjhoo Chacha eik Imambargah waley ghar mein jahan neechey Imambargah aur Orange Machliyan eik Fish pond mein mujh ko yaad hain , Doosri jagah jahan Najmul Bhai , aur Kabban saath rehtey thae , samne maidan thaa, aur teesree Jagah oopri manzil mein rehayesh aur neechey Kharbooze aur kakariyan biktee theea jaana howa , yahan hi Mein ne aur Shama (Now Bahbhi jan) ne saath cigrette pee thee - Bhabhi jan (Shama) Manjhley dadey ki cigreett layee aur hum dono ne Seereeh per kharey ho ker kush liye thae .

Najmul Bhai waley ghar k zamane mein Bhaijan Lucknow mein thae ' Bhaijan ki taaleem jaari na reh saki (Bahut se wajoohaat hon gae shayed) aur bhaijan wapas aa gey Hardoi.
Jub hum Lucknow gaye thae toe Faqa shiknee k liye Dadi k sath hi hona thaa , hum aur Bhaijan ko Bhook lagee thee toe Bhune howey chane ley ker khaye thae kiyuki Faqa shiknee k liye kafi waqt chahiye thaa . Hum dono ne bhune chaney khareedey thae aur eik saath khaye thae. .

Babu My Father Syed Farrukh Hasan Bilgrami son of Syed Faiz Hasan Bilgrami (1903 - 1977)
My father was strong man and lived an honorable life and never asked any support from mankind for any kind .
His career which is in my knowledge shall be noted here for General information. I do have several memories (good and Bad both) for Babu .
Babu best and favorite son was @Akbar M Bilgrami (Second eldest ) and Daughter Sarwat Fatima .(Eldest among us). It is what we have noticed through his apparent attitude.
Me (Mushir Zaidi ) and youngest brother (Akhtar Bilgrami were not having those levels , .
Babu was attached with Conventional Muslim League of Gen.Ayub khan (1963 to 1967) .and he was attending meetings and Jalsa wa Juloos normally with Gohar Ayub .
He started to make a Library for which a proper Land was marked at Block5 Federal B Area , but it could not be finalized as regime was changed -
Later this land was turned into a residential place, and small plots for common man
l .
K will add many thing here later but I will post here the Death of my father when me and my younger brother Akhtar were in KSA and One Afzal came to our home in the evening (it was Holiday), and after some formal talks he had shown me a Telex from my elder brother Akbar (Masroor) informing sudden death of Babu.
13 years ago
I do hope all these are correct

Bhooli bisri batain
Saza wa Jaza I was in class IV in Louisa Souls School, Aligarh UP India and my class teacher who was English teacher as well, sometimes takes her class in sunshine( Lawn) during winter. I and one girl Razia was mostly honored to hold her hands while she was seated on chair. The feeling and honor of this chance was like we are on throne.
Once Amman was going to Numaish at 8 pm (Aligarh annual exhibtions), I was also willing to accomny her while I was studying (I was in Class three), Dadey slapped me and insisted to read your lesson first. I did it with tears then dadey had taken me to numaish with amman and given some special treat .
In those days one night I was insisting for something before sleep and Amman got angry and remarked haramzada ( I was not aware what does it mean) but I replied Aap Haramzadi. Dadey (Amman's husband) got up and slapped (six to eight) on my cheaks with full force and was sent out side to sleep with Razi Bhai( cousin studying in BA in Aligarh University). I cried with tears for hours as it was a new thing and very painful. I still take it as fearsome-dream. But I could not figured out until today whether a child was at fault for this punishment I did not salute Dadey & Amman in morning and did not talk to them, until Amman tried to convince me and I lodged my protest for being beaten so cruelly, Things were patched-up and I submit my apology to dadey in the evening and in return I was awarded with gift and nice things but I suffered with fever lasted for long time whether it was the consequence of this event or some viral but later it was found as severe condition of Typhoid fever.
In Aligarh once I had infection in ankle due to mansoon rain which caused nasoor (deep roots of infection). Dadey used to take me to Surgeon Lekhraj Singh Private clinic at Lekhraj Singh road miles away from our home at Banna Devi, for dressing and treatment for months One day the wound was cleaned with steel equipment, black blood and some white particle small worm type came out and then it was treated (burned) with some acid, which later healed. The nurse was an anglo-Indian
a bautiful young lady, gentle and soft spoken. She used to go daily on a lady cycle
MEREY MOHSIN - Allah ki barkatein nichawar hoen in per
I visited India in 2014 and also seen Itora first time in life - While walking there with others wife of hasan Imam 9Meri choti Bhawaj) told me - "Mushir Bhai apke ultey aur seedhey haath per jitnee zameen Hude nzer tuk hain sub aapki hain) It was all plain land.
Related this land and preperty, I do recall the action of three sisters of my Maternal uncle Syed Nasir hussain Zaidi Bilgrami (deceased in 1955) to transfer their share of all property in favour of Hasan Imam.
My mother elder sisters one (Ruqayya Begum) was married with my elder uncle (Maqbool Hasan) and second one (Sabira Begum alia Kaniz Kubra) married with my father's yougest mamoon (Jaffer Hussein).
Brothers one Bhaijan Syed Akbar Mehdi (alia Masroor Hasan) Bilgrami was born on 22 August 1936 (meri yad main 20 Aug.) and elder than me for five years. We could not live together due to various circumstances but the tenure of together is undoubtedly full of brotherhood.
His sacrifices for the family is unlimited and it is his support (Allah ki rahmat ke saath saath) that rest of family members could find ways to live in an honorable positions.He has to break his education and started working at Hardoi (office jobs) with a Printing Press for 15 days(remuneration of which was given in shape of shirt cloth) - I do remember its design) , then petrol pump for few months then Zimidari Abolishen department for few years, then moved to Karachi, Pakistan in June 1958(on the encouragement of one cousin Rafique Fatima urf Raffe- phuphijan Mannat Fatime ki beti ) where he joined Premiere Insurance as cashier, later joined Bank of America and so on well known as Banker and served on Key posts. BCCI, Schon Bank, Gulf Leasing and many more financial institution.are among list.
chota bhai Akhtar Bilgrami born on 9 September 1947 at Partapgarh (6 years smaller than me). Although he was living with parents but we had a chance to live together much longer than elder brother and played together. He has supported me and my family as & when required. His attitude shows his affection towards my wife and children and grand children.
Engagement of companion for life partnership (IMAM ZAAMIN)
It was April 1965 when we were living in 1567/2, Joharabad (Federal B Area) Karachi. I and Maddan were gossiping when Farrukh Fatima Jafri (Nickname Phakko) came from Paposhnagar for her vessels kept with us, She was not observing purdah except from me and bhai'jan . I was interested in one iron net belonging to them and was lying with us for several years. I asked Amman and paid an advance of Rs.5 and difference shall be paid later if any, and Diary of Bank of America is also given for her father.
In the meantime I told Maddan that Baji amman used to say good words about this girl and she is good match for someone interested. His remarks were why don't you select for you. I said first of all Bhaijan's marriage is not finalised and I am not Settled yet. He said Just choose and reserve and other matters can be deferred. These words were so appealing to me that soon she left I went to Amman and asked her to talk about our match.
Amman told me you are naughty and used to talk not seriously, and if you agree to marry then I can talk. I immediately said no marriage or nikkah before Bhaijan's marriage however engagement is possible if yes from them within a week time other wise no from my side.
Like wise Amman agreed and next day Amman and Akhter went with sweet box and my visiting card and details on back. An inquiry was made from my boss Abbas Hashmi of NSC by some one from her family. Within week it was agreed and the date of 25 April 1965 ( 22 zilhijj ) was agreed for Imam zamin.
From our side Amman Babu Bhaijan Akhtar Baaji Zeenat Choti baaji Suriya phupo, Shama unofficially nominated as Bhabhi jan and one wife of W Hussein as desired by DADi. Haider Nawab and Aftab. I had managed an official car Fiat and others taxis to travel from Fb area to PIB colony . Two tokras of laddo (One was not taken out from the Car) and choriyan, ring, dupatta, Imam zamin was sent together.
