Tribute to Barrister Bacha

Letter May 29, 2013
The late Barrister by dint of his short presentations served society more than his prolific contemporaries.

ISLAMABAD: Barrister Bacha was a man of principles and a master of brevity, which is the soul of truth. He used to speak volumes in his one-line statements. He inspired me to write short letters instead of long articles. In the course of time, I found that writing short messages was more difficult than writing long stories on any subject. Renowned scholars are reported to have concurred that they needed more time to write short comments than for writing lengthy dissertations.

The late Barrister by dint of his short presentations served society more than his prolific contemporaries. He will be sorely missed by his admirers. May his soul rest in peace.
