NUSRAT KHALIL JAMALI, SENIOR   

       JOURNALIST LIKES AND

PRAISES  CANADA & CANADIANS

BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER

                TORONTO: Nusrat Khalil Jamali, a patriotic Pakistani and a very seasoned, experienced, renowned and respected journalist with very good standing and tremendous contributions was in Toronto, Canada recently.

       Nusrat Khalil Jamali was actually invited along with thousands of high profile delegates from all over the world to attend the Rockwell’s Automation Fair 2018.

       Jamali was invited and had attended several times the automation fair held annually in   United States.

       Nusrat Khalil Jamali is Business Editor in Daily Gulf Today published from Sharjah.

       I was on a visit to Chicago, US, to meet my near and dear ones there where he came with my friend Amjad Lodhi.

       That over one hour meeting brought us very close. I found him as a very humble and down to earth person. I felt like we have been close friends for years. That laid the foundation of a good friendship.

       After attending the Automation Fair 2018 and meeting his brother in US, he returned to Toronto where his son Asim Jamal, who is an engineer and graduated from the world renowned NED University, is settled along with his family and close relatives.

       Asim also had served as an engineer in the UAE for a long time.

   Nusrat Khalil Jamali plans to settle in Canada along with his family as his son and many near and dear ones are settled here.

       When he returned to Toronto, he contacted me to inquire about my health and welfare. We decided to meet the next day at my place. He came along with Asim. Our common friend, Muhammad Salahuddin, who is a renowned Ghazal singer and is known as Ashiq-E-Mehdi Hassan, also joined us.   

   Salahuddin was on a moth’s visit to Dubai where he had a very good time with Jamali and they too became very good friends. They used to meet frequently, eat and visit many places. Salahuddin visited Dubai and Karachi, Pakistan, along with his wife.

       When Jamali came to my house some of my other friends joined us including Syed Muhammad Iqbal, President of Pak Seniors Forum (PSF), Azhar Bokhari, Secretary, and Afzal Khan Nayyar, Coordinator of Thornclliffe Seniors Club (TPC).

       Salahuddin, who was a senior officer in Pakistan International Airline, (PIA) and Asim Jamal took complete charge of the kitchen and dining table as I was sick. They did a wonderful including serving and taking care of all guests, cleaning the dining table and the kitchen.

       Everyone was full of praise  for the young boy and son of Nusrat Khalil Jamali. He impressed all very much. In the new generation, such young boys of very good nature, attitude and character are found rare.

       The family of Shahid Hashmi, who is Chairman of Canpak Chamber of Commerce, and Seema Hashmi, his spouse, is another very good example. All his kids and family members take best care of their guests and win your heart and praise. They leave a very good impression.

       Salahuddin had brought in bulk  food including chicken and lamb biryani, finger fish and many other items. Almost everybody had brought something with them. The food was delicious.  This changed the complexion of the gathering.  There was no discussion, debate or argument as it was a friends gathering. This made the gathering really memorable. The sitting, eating and chatting  continued for over three hours.

       Nusrat Khalil Jamali will visit Canada again in March, 2019. He is very excited to meet people of this group of friends.

       Such gatherings and activities are part of my sacred cause, mission and vision. My motto is Serve Humanity In Reality. Please spread this message in the interest of humany.
