Downcast eyes, full of blazing tears, cold sighs and quivering lips! This is the language we human beings speak at the present occasion. Some human beings, we meet in life put an everlasting impression on us, and for me, respected Farooq Sahab is one among them.
I have been working under him for almost the last five years and found him an embodiment of humour, the highest human values, compassion and leadership qualities. These are essential virtues of a leader who leads his team by example. I have learnt self-discipline and punctuality from him. I always observed him concerned about his students and took it as a divine responsibility to do whatever possible, to provide the best education, both curricular and co-curricular to his students.
Farooq Sahab would always create a humorous environment for his subordinates and would shun the typical bossy attitude, which reflects his leadership instincts.
Today, Farooq Sahab is completing his committed years of service but I would hesitate to say he is retiring. He has to guide us; he has to guide his students and he has to deliver for the society at large. However, we will scarcely find him in school now, and we all will miss him badly. I wish him the best in his future endeavours.
