Today me and Ammar had been to Cambridge to my cousin Filzah's place. I had gone to meet her father Hashmi Mamma (Prof. Seyed E. Hasnain) who is my maternal uncle. He is a scientist of international fame. His area is Biotechnology. He established the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting (CDFD) in Hyderabad, India. He was appointed the Vice Chancellor of the Univ of Hyderabad by the then President of India APJ Abdul Kalam. He is now a professor at IIT, Delhi.
He has been awarded most of the top prizes and awards in his fields including the Padma Shree.
He is a great human being too. Extremely down to earth and ever ready to help anyone. He is an inspiration for all of us in the family.
The long weekend is over and it is back to work from tomorrow.
My blog on Papa (my grandfather) is almost ready. I shared the draft with Abbu and awaiting his feedback.
