Dr Ajaz Anwar’s one lifelong regret is that he missed meeting Prof Ahmad Saeed, a learned man who had invited him to design the cover image of his book

The professor somehow got my contact number and messaged me if I could design the cover of his forthcoming book,
Lahore Ki Saqafati Tareekh.
It was an honour he wanted to bestow upon me. I had never met him, though. Before I could send a note of compliance, he sent me a copy of his book,
Trek to Pakistan. I was especially delighted that he had sent it to me via Pakistan Post which was more economical than the illegal couriers. It still is.
