Dear Nedians, it was a oleasure to realize that so many NED graduates are so successful in their lives. I wish them all the best. Hopefully some of you remember me as your teacher. I now live in Abu Dhabi. I needed to get in touch with all of you to celebrate the life of my dear friend Nauman. He was a rare person. Could we establish something in his name? Do post your ideas and maybe together we can pay homage to a life well lived.

All the best
