Family Tree Update

May 29, 2008

Hello,

Let me introduce myself. I am known in the family as Arshad- the first son of late Kaniz Fatema, daughter of Nawabzadi Khurshidi Bano and Khwaja Moazzam. I have a sister named Reshma from my own father and a brother named Qais from my mother’s second marriage. My Grandfather and my Father were the Pir Saabs of Paribagh.

 

I see my mother’s name in the family tree.  She expired 2 years back.  May be you can put late with her name.  And add me in the list. 

Thanks. 

Shah Syed Badrul Bari ( Arshad)
President and CEO GLOBACOMM Systems and Solutions- Baridhara Dhaka

Dear Anas,

This is Saaria Hossain, daughter of Late.Hatif Hossain from Dhaka. 

How are you? Hope everything is going well. I often do visit your website; you guys have done a great job. I really appreciate what you have done for the whole Nawab family. 

Anas I have one little complain regarding my father’s identity, uploaded on 22nd feb. 08.  There is written that he settled in Nawab Bari after he got married but this info is wrong. I agree that his FATHER was from Bhagalpur but He was the Nawasa(grand son) of the Nawab Family. Here I have mentioned the family tree please have a look at it.

He belongs to the Nawab Family and every senior member of this family knows this.

 

His family tree is as following :Abdul Hai Nanna Mia (19 Ahsanullah Road)-daugher Rafiqa Bibi- son Syed Abdul Hatif

 

Do me this favor, the info. That is written on the obituary news of my father that HE SETTLED IN NAWAB BARI BY GETTING MARRIED is wrong. Please do edit the required part; I will be thankful to you.

Best Regards   

Saaria Hossain- Dhaka

Answer: Please accept my sincere apology for the mistake.

As per your recommendation I have made necessary changes and updated the family tree.

Summer in New York…

May 27, 2008

On a much lighter note, apart from the “Shady Deals” below, summer is beautiful in New York and today was a beautiful day — 72 F(24 C approx) with a light breeze. I spent last night playing ping pong with my cousins Anas, Arshad, Fardeen and Shahadat until for 4am this morning and went to my aunt’s(Zari phuppu) place in the afternoon for a barbecue–the first this summer.

Later came home and found this song on Youtube. I would like to dedicate it to my sister Ayesha and all my cousins, aunts and relatives with the same name…

Shady Deals in Nawabbari

May 23, 2008

By Residents of Shahzada Mia Lane

We, the residents of Shahzada Mia Lane, would like to bring to your notice that crooks have been actively involved in selling land belonging to members of the Dhaka Nawab Family. They have been duping innocent beneficiaries of Nawabbari by manufacturing fake deeds and documents. This has been an open secret in Nawabbari for quite some time now, but the poor innocent residents of Nawabbari haven’t had the courage to confront these thugs. These thugs recently sold the RIVER VIEW CLUB for a huge sum of money.

We, the residents of Shahzada Mia Lane out of concern for our neighbors and brethren in Nawabbari have posted the following two posters, listing the names of the involved culprits:

Translation of the poster
Culprits
1. Mohd Sameeruddin (Sameer), Ringleader
2. Khawaja Abdur Rahman Nanna
3. Khawaja Kalimulla (so called Khawaja)
4. khawaja Mohd Akbar (Budda Akbar)
5. Mohd Kaisar and their group
 
These culprits sold the famous and historic land of our ancestors, the River View Club, by manufacturing fake documents and divided the money among themselves. They have made a lot of fake documents (of property in Nawabbari) and are looking for buyers at this time. All the named culprits should be arrested at once.

I am from…

May 23, 2008

 

BY SYED HAMZA    

I am from the Quran,

from the Kufi and the Tasbeeh.

I am from Ali and Bahauddin

from Tareequat and Naqshband.

 

I am from the aging apartment,

The smell of spices erupting from the walls.

I am from the Coriander,.

the aging Jackfruit trees

whose long gone limbs I remember

as if they were my own.

 

I am from Carrom and dark skin,

from Cricket and Hockey.

I am from endless conversations and evening tea,

from addiction to soap operas.

I am from ” respect your elders” and “complete your prayers”,

from “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”.

 

I am from Ramadan and Eid.

I am from New York and Nawabbari,

from Curry and Pilaf.

From the struggles of my father,

who brought together a family.
