subhan allah great family
This is just really awesome..proud to be his granddaughter..hats of to my grandfather…and sincere gratitude to all the people who have compiled this.
hi nabiha
superb i am proud to be a part of this family
Mashallah! Great work! As always extensive time and effort has been put in by Aleem Azizuddin aka Pyaremam. It’s well documented and an asset for future generations to come. Jazak Allah khairan!!
Its an great effrot by Mr Aleem Azizuddin to take up the challenge of reviving the yester years of his Late father Mr Ismail Mohammed Azizuddin who was a Poineer in the field of veterinery Science at a very young Age as a Pricipal of Veterinary College.
His remarkable life and study of his Biography would be definitely set as an example for the future generation.
My Accolades goes to Mr Aleem Azizuddin for his tremndous efforts to enlighten his own family as well as people through website and Internet.. – Farook Ahmed
Hats off Aleem for enlightening the legacy of great family
Let me first start with thanks for this wonderful work about the life of one of the stalwarts of my mother’s family. I recollect my mother’s eyes shining with proudness whenever she mentioned about her uncle’s photo display in the vet college in Chennai but being a kid I never understood the significance of her moment of pride.
I was not fortunate to have seen the stalwart because I was not even born when he passed away but I now recollect the striking resemblance he has with his younger brother who I have seen once as a kid in Villupuram. I have been fortunate to have met and talked to the Heroine of this Biography, the “ChandMumanjaan” of my mother as my mother fondly called her. She always impressed me every time I met her with her poise and charm and at the same time with her humility and she even visited my house during the house warming ceremony.
I recollect my first visit to her with my mother to the bungalow in Kodambakkam during the eighties. Also I have somehow maintained the link to the next generation (Hilal Mamu, Shahidha Aunty) but also
with their next gen (Ishrath).
We all have a craving for glory and in this case it is not the glory of the self but the past glory of another man that is giving me the adrenalin, a moment of pride at this moment when I read through the short but eventful life of a legend who is now celebrated by his children. It is just a tiny connection I have but it feels wonderful to read through the story of the academic accomplishment, his love for the sports, etc. It feels sad and pity that he lived a short life but definitely a bigger life, it can be seen that within the short span he has made an impact large enough to leave a legacy.
My father used to speak very highly about the educated background of some of the men in his in-laws’ family and he was proud about it. Now I understand the reason behind his proud feeling when I read through the biography, it brings forth a clear picture to us what that glory was, a glory curing a time period which is well past us but I am sure will live past us.
Thanks again for the meticulous work
Masha Allah !!!
Appreciate the great efforts in bringing up the website connecting many of the branches of our family tree.
Best Regards
