Feels good to know that I had such a man in distant relatives.


A great fighter pilot he was... Have heard a lot about him from my mother and relatives. But this ill-fated nation with the legacy of loosing or letting go of its greater and greatest assets (be it accidentally or because of the self destructive national stupidity) lost this son way back in the late 80's. I was 6 or 7 years old when I heard this sad news from my mother and was sad that I couldn't manage to see this uncle while he was alive. Not surprisingly to my parents, I started carrying ' becoming a fighter pilot ' in my big bunch of  aims in life ever since. I wish I could hold on to that aim till the end of my HSC in 2000.  Cause at that time I literally drove myself away from applying to defence going against the interest of my mother, granny and aunts. For my keen interest of studying Computer Science I remember I had to deal with a lot of family complexities. One of the causes was obviously that I deprived them to see me applying in the defence. Eleven years later in 2011, when I was walking out of ISSB as a ‘not selected’ candidate of Air Force Engineering Core, I again felt sad for the silly mistakes that I might have made in my 4 days stay there. Anyway, today let’s pray for the soul of  Flight Lieutenant Aynul Habib, a brave and brilliant defence officer of this nation along with many other such officers with bright prospects who lost their lives in the BDR Massacre in February , 2009. May Allah bless their soul in eternal peace and save our beloved motherland from such unexpected and pathetic loss of her brave sons.
