| Zaiyan Khan in Thunder Bay - on a freezing day |
The little kid we had known as Razia Khan’s grandson is today, a strapping young man raring to break into the highly competitive world of computer professionals with a foreign degree under his belt.

In fact, he had brought a beautiful memento yesterday (the actual day of the anniversary) but in Yusuf R’s absence, the presentation had to be put off for today. Pity, Mrs Niloufer Rassiwala could not make it to the Garden in the morning.
