I took the students who were working on Prof Kazmi's life narrative to interview him at his place. He's 92 and had lived through the pre and post partition in India and the students would cover this as well as his life after his migration to Malaysia from India.
He was telling them how Lucknow got its name. When a Brit soldier was informed that they had won and India had fallen, he said we are in luck now. :D
Ioana and I spoke on the phone after Skype failed us. I thought the uni had blocked Skype.Found out later, tak. Cheh. Byk le bill telephone saya.
