Remembering my father, Late Principal (retd) Muhammad Ramizuddin Ahmed

Date: December 13, 1982. "There you are....!!! That's the way, my son...!! Look at that ..!! That's a good camera...!!" I wonder what he was saying at that moment cuddling super cranky me, his just a year old first born. But, that summarizes his dealings with me, ie the tone or the order of our relationship. A perfect mentor, a perfect teacher, an influencer, a strict commander, an expert personality analyzer, designer & builder, a great mathematician, a sports enthusiast, a patient instructor, a fearlessly and fiercely stubborn uncompromising bloke against any sort of oppression, bullying or injustice, a superb warden, excellent manager, skilled organizer, unparalleled conflict resolver, a go-to person at his workplace to carry out high-intensity responsibilities, a research loving mathematics and primary & secondary education specialist with research experience at home and abroad.........and the list goes on Ma shaa Allah , Al hhamdulillah. Actually , I can't count all the ways how his footprints along with his instructions still are guiding me. It's now been exactly a year since he left us all. But still, not a single day passes that I don't feel his presence in my heart directing me in the way to think, decide, act and judge when needed. It's amazing how a father with his greatest instrument of parenthood made a lifelong instruction manual for all his children, SubHhaan Allah !! People celebrate Father's Day sharing pics with their fathers online. I chose this old one that best describes my Dad's parenthood. Everybody, please keep him, Marhoom (Late) Principal (retd) Muhammad Ramizuddin Ahmed in your prayers. May Allah bless his soul Magfirah, place him in Zannatul Firdaus and enable his children, students, and disciples to follow his instructions properly in their search for true success in life, Ameen.
