Alhamdulillah I am back home after my trip which needs explanation.
Being bored at home one needs to get out, but where to go? So I planned to go by car. For many reasons I changed the program backwards and started from My son's place
My grandson invited me for his first football game. Said he likes baseball and football. My camera abilities need overhauling so I cannot post a picture of this great football player of our family. BTW I need to be taught for these things by my son but he seems to have forgotten what I had spent in time and energy to teach him. Nothing unusual. That is the way it is here I guess.
Next "treat" was 2nd B'Day fo Zayd my Nawasa #2 so I went to Burtonsville MD and saw this youngman really enjoy the attention he got from a big family and lots of cousins etc.. Again the pictures I took will have to wait before I can post them somewhere.
Driving 700 miles from MD. to Illinois, took me two days.
Firstly weather was cold and through Pensylvania mountainous district with some snow flurries etc, made me nervous but roads were clear and on the whole I made it to Columbus and Dayton by evening.
Found a very conveniently located "super, inn" before Xing from Ohio to Indiana. From outside it appeared low class motel and I dreaded to go in still took the courage and enter small office An Indian says salam to me but I was sure he was Patel (Nothing against that name, I have worked with smart Dr. Patels many years) because Patels have 'invaded' the Hotel-motel industry of USA.
I said I will see the room and only then will decide. Sure enough it was a typical Patel room but did not small as bad as I thought. Bed sheets were clean (I had my own blanket and pillow anyway so I took the room). The Following day weather appeared good so I was on the road quickly and had my breakfast near Indianapolis. Texted my daughter (who I left in MD) and my niece (Shabana who I was going to see). By midday I was in Champaign Ill. Snow on the ground but lasted only one day weather cleared the following day and I had fun with Raihana who was not avoiding me now like before (she was shy three yrs earlier when I saw her at ISNA) She enjoyed my beard, like Imran says she was used to smaller red beard (her dad) ans so she found slightly bigger and white beard a pleasant change. It was good to see them.
Next on my list was Louiseville Ky. Before going there I have to tell you a surprise treat. Zaheer (my classmate and friend and partner from 1952) announced that he is in California. So Zulfi (my classmate and friend and partner from 1952) who has been in Kentucky made advanced program for "us three". Zulfiqar Haider has 3 sons and 2 daughters. Youngest son is in L'Ville, older one in E'Town and younger daughter also. One oldest (child) daughter is in Edinburgh Scotland. One son in Canada. Zulfi is Shia so I made program to meet him in L'Ville after Ashoora. My original plan was to meet Dr. Waqar who has been in L'Ville for some time and I spent the night there. But Zulfi was only three houses down the road from Waqar as his youngest son also lives in the same neighborhood. This was all I needed and the children from ETown came over that day so i met them all.
Next day Myself and Zulfi were to fly to California. I left my car there and Zulfi's car took us to Cincinnati at Tasleem's place who just arrived in time from his trip on 16th and we reached 17th evening at his place (Tasleem is our classmate and friend from 1952). He took us to the airport and Zaheer with his daughter was there to receive us at LAX.. The next 48 hours we talked and talked and roaming on the beach etc. Shared all our dukh-sukh and relaxed. Flew back on 21st to Cincinnati lunched with Tasleem and rove back to L'Ville. Next day Zulfi's third son comes in from Canada and I shared the happiness of Zulfi with his children and grandchildren. Knowing that he is now too busy I took their leave and spent the night with Waqar again and his family. Next day I left 7am, beautiful weather all the way to Raleigh NC temp. 58 F.
Thus ended my personal varied and enjoyable vacation
Cant complain now. Guess what the severe winter storm just waited until I can get home safe and then came the following day the cold but Raleigh NC is still safe from the storm, See more in my "gupshup" blog further and the picture
