Engr. Syed Shareef Naqvi NED69ers Electrical who retired four years back and presently settled in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He was in town for last three weeks and was very busy with his family attending parties, family weddings and meeting all his relatives. We managed to get few free hours of Shareef and arranged a lunch party at Paramount Lebanese Foods Restaurant in Defense Housing Authority (DHA) and invited few available NED69ers in the town. As normally we all gather at Engr. Omar Vowda’s place but Abul Hassan Jafri suggested having a change so we arranged the meeting at Paramount.

It was a great meeting and we all met each other after a long time. We enjoyed remembering the sweet old memories of NED College and we did discuss and prayed for our friends who are no more with us. We all remember the Irani Café which was right in front of the college. The thing which we all remember was the special Irani Tea and the Pâtés.
