You are very kind, sir. But I don't think I am the autobiography kind of person. It requires a huge ego to do that. Or then one should have some truly great accomplishments under their belt.

One can imagine how difficult it was to start your career as Travel writer. God Bless you. I have your two books, The Apricot road to Yarkand & From Landikotal to Wahga. I also called you for some time to meet in Lahore i wanted your signature on these books. But right now i am out of Lahore will call you in next week.

I gather from the narration that you were already a member of the Royal Geographical Society before you embarked to England to study for your first book & that the society boasts of a fellowship list comprised of eight thousand I thought this number to be rather small given that the society was established in 1660. What do you think of this number- 8000 There is a chance of error in deciphering the membership of the RGS

@odysseuslahori

9 күн бұрын

The Society was established in 1830, sir. I had applied and been seconded for election as a Fellow and I went to London purely on speculation. I was elected because my friend Patrick Smethurst who had seconded me had attached some of my published work. I have no idea how many fellows there are. I know only that five Pakistanis are fellows.
