MEREY MOHSIN - Allah ki barkatein nichawar hoen in per

There is not any single day of life when someone is not obliging  another one and a long list of people whose favors and obligations in the life's journey are like Gems & Jewels which  do made life more valuable for self and others as well. Neither listing of all of them is possible nor numbering is a easy task However it is mere try to record and describe them in numerical order one by one, names appearing therein are one way or other, had an obligation or lot of favors on me.
ALLAH subhan-altallah is the most merciful that I was born in a Syed Shia family and in the lap of one of the most decent  parents and had surrounding of very caring brothers sisters aunties uncles and grand parents and many other relatives. My birth date is 30th September 1941 and birth place is Partapgarh a district near District Allahbad , situated in east of UP India .
PARENTS both belong to a respected noble family of Bilgram, District Hardoi, UP, India.
Father Syed Farrukh Hasan Bilgrami (born in September 1903) was a Commercial photgrapher later joined as Mukhtar- kar (Attorney ) at Courts of Wards a department of British Goverment  in India to look after estate affairs of a deceased Raja, Nawab, Land Lord whose next of  Kins were not grown up to take care of estate's routine matters. My grand-father(Syed Faiz Hasan Bilgrami) was sub-registrar and died early in the child hood of my father (perhaps 1914). My grand mother (Ummeed Fatima) was very graceful, beautiful, strong lady of her times and she had taken care of her sons (Maqbool, Farrukh, Irtiza) daughters (Mannat,Ummat,Azmat,zaibun) after death of her husband. My mother has seen her alive ( until 1939 or so).
Mother Syeda Aasiya (Abida) Begum was daughter of Syed Mohammad Muslim Bilgrami who was Rayes (Land Lord) of Itoara buzurg ,presently district Mahoba (earlier district Hamirpur near Jhansi in south of UP India). The agriculture land still exist and my cousin Hasan Imam (son of mamoon) is taking careof it .
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).
It was unfortunate that first wife of my father was died and left two children - daughter (Sarwat Fatima) & son (Qamrul Hasan).  On the other side my mother's mother died and my mother was living alone with her father who was almost blind and life was tough in a isolated place like Itoara. Under these circumstances my aunt proposed for the wedlock of my mother and father and it was found best in the situation prevailing and good  for all.
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.
