Abbottabad once again hared the footsteps of its very old residents, who in 1975 thumped the roads of Kakul and surrounding areas with lots of hufs and mufs. This time , however, it was a pleasant re-union with grown up kids and their kids, fathers and grand fathers and mothers and grand mothers. This being a special occasion since after April 2008, a few would be left on the active list, we are dedicating a separate page to cover the proceedings of this great get-together which was arranged courtesy Ghazanfar and associates.

It may be mentioned here that it
was Ghazanfar, while serving in GHQ in 1991, who arranged the first course
get-together as a mega event and since then it has become an annual feature. And
the programme issued by him amply highlights his contribution towards the course
and turning into a memorable occasion. And most certainly, this time he lived
much above the expectations since the get together spread over two was so well
organized that it will be remembered and cherished by all of us for all our
lives. 
Well for those who missed this
grand show - which reminds me of the film "The Greatest Show on the Earth", I saw in
my childhood, here is an eyewitness' account of those two unforgettable days
that myself, my family and dozens of our course mates and their families enjoyed
while in Abbottabad on 12-13 April 2008, just four days short of 31st passing
out day anniversary of 55th PMA Long Course - indeed one of the best courses
that ever passed out from PMA. Since there were so many activities arranged on
each day, it would be unjustified on my part to sum up everything in just one
page. And certainly it will not be able to compliment the efforts of Ghazanfar
and his entire staff and those great recruits who made us the happiest of all
human beings while celebrating our reunion. Therefore I have subdivided the
activities in two segments - so sit back and read on to participate in what we
all saw on 12-13th April 2008.
