In Part I, Part II & Part III a chronology of early years of public speaking career of Dildar Pervaiz Bhatti was presented. In this fourth and final part, I will dwell upon the beginning of his stage announcement and program production life, the side of his career for which he was ultimately most known for.

In eleventh & twelfth grades (F.A./F.Sc.) even though we were part of the same debating team, Dildar and I were persuing two different educational and career goals. He was in liberal arts program and was studying subjects such as economics, political science and social studies while I was in the science group. We had only english and urdu classes together. Most of our classmates were from urdu-medium schools and just like our english teachers we all struggled through our english studies. However things were very different in our urdu classes and for most part due to our urdu teacher Syed Ali Abbas Jalalpuri popularly known as ‘Shah Sahab’.

The photo is of a suzuki pick-up transporting freshly manufactured ‘lotay’ in Karachi. When I first saw this photo at Flickr.com, the photographer Fayyaz Ahmed had captioned it ‘Election Preparation 2007’. I thought that was too funny.

UPDATE:

India won the TwentyTwenty final in a thriller, after setting Pakistan 158 to win and then bowling Pakistan out (with three balls to spare) for 152. IK Pathan from India was names Man of the Match for very tidy bowling (3/16 from 4 overs) while Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi was named Man of the Series.
