Re: Memories...

Wowwwww Thaadall! it's been really long since we've had that.

Please enjoy it. The only sherbat we have here is RoohAfza and Khus (the green one). Perhaps if I get the recipe for Thadall we may be able to concoct it here as well!

Bad print label on the bottle and I cant read a leg out of it...

Promise promise...I'll direct my Thatta branch manager to email me the scanned copy of the recipe--asap which I'll post here.

ROOH AFZA to Hakim saeed aik aisi cheez bana gaye--ke unki Sahabzadi Saadia bhi heiraan rehti hein!!!! Its called MAHROUB-e-MASHRIQ here...!

KHASS tou Ammijan ko pasand hai...humein khushboo ki takk aur woh bhi jubb Lahore mein houn aur garmeeyoun ke COOLER mein jo KHASS ki chaddar lagti hein tou AIRCONDITIONING ka baap bhi muqabila nahin karsakta...USS thandakk ka-------:)

Khush Rahein....

Re: Memories…

You are so right about those coolers and khas. All those memories…:hinna:

Rooh afza was created by Hamdard at the time when it was one company (before partition) . Later on Hakeem Ajmal of Delhi took over Indian part and Hakeem Saeed took over Pakistani company.

Rooh Afza of india is bottled by Hamdard India

Hakim Saeed had an equal right to the formulae created or devised in India hence when he opted for pakistan he carried it with him. It goes without saying that Hakim Saeed was one of the founders--if we are to refer that---of ROOH AFZA.

Hakim AJMAL KHAN was a great friend of my Dad's Uncle in Delhi. I'll scan and post his tareekhi pic on this thread in next two days...!

Saadia Rasheed heads HAMDARD (Pakistan) WAQF now...her daughters are also her aide there besides Rashoo bhai..her hubby!

Re: Memories…

According to wiki, Hamdard/Rooh Afza were founded/invented by Hakeem Ustad Hasan and then later seprated into Indian waqf and pakistai waqf.. wallah o alam

Re: Memories...

I have my Grandad and his brother's coin collection, which I think is pretty special as his brother died very early in his life. Lots of cool coins in there e.g. Indian coins from the British Empire and massive 1 pennies from Queen Victoria's reign. I have been adding to the collection for the past 6 or so years.

Our ancestral home in our village in Pakistan is also very special to me. However a lot of things that were there have been taken over time or moved by family members, which is quite sad.

Like to know the source which feeded the info on WIKI…as we all know that most of the stuff on WIKI is unauthenticated.


I find umpteenth errors on what WIKI says on my Dad !!


I will revert after talking to Saadia on this..


Thanks for the pointer–friend!
