I remember, it was the last week of my Professional Affiliation at Washington DC and last days of my Humphrey Fellowship and stay in USA. I was happy as I was about to go to my Country, meet relatives and share great experience of Humphrey fellowship at USA. I was on my way back to home, when I called Flavia, our program coordinator, she sounded very down, and I asked her what happened you sound so down, she replied “AHMED SOMETHING HAPPENED” And I knew, for next 30 minutes’ walk, I was controlling myself not to burst out in tears, as the part of world from I am, Man are not supposed to cry in front of public, but due to immense shock and sadness, I broke social rule and kept cleaning my eyes full of tears, till I reached my apartment.
Dr Brachman was not a teacher, he was like Sindh (My Province where my home is) for me, he was my home in USA, where I can learn, share life experiences without any pressure. He made me understand one thing, people are not good or bad, they are different. And from that day I never labeled someone good or bad on my subjective judgment. My entire career and life will have lasting effect of Dr Brachman forever. Thank you Dr Brachman
To me Dr Brachman was a Holy and Spiritual Human, and I strongly believe in it based on the evidence, that he passed away on eve of 1st Ramazam of 2016, we Muslims, strongly believe, the one who is very close to God, Loved by God is given this respect and God call them on the eve or during the most honored, respected and holy month of year. I Miss you and will keep missing you in my life to come.
