Thank you and for your kind words. Are you still in Bhatkal? And thank you for adding some more stories of our Elders. Like you my cousin too got his cleaning of four months in Dr Nadir Ali Khan Sahab (DB)'s company. The Relation with the Shaikh from Meerut is from Dr Sahab's Khatauli days, if my memory serves me right. Dr Sahab got his middle level education in Khatauli. I'll, IA, verify the details and try to add some more info. I do not know whether you have access to Tazkitat-uj-Jameel compiled by Professor Ahtisham Ahmed Nizami Sahab (DB) about Hazrat Maulana Jamil Ahmed Sahab Qadri Badayooni Hyderabadi (RA). It has more about Dr Nadir Ali Khan Sahab (DB) (and others many of whom you'd know.) Wassalam
