Shagufta Bano - Mano na Mano
Saturday, 8 March 2025
During my interpretership in Russian Language at the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) in Islamabad, we had the opportunity to visit various publishing houses and government departments as part of our program. At one such visit to Press and Information Department, after an engaging presentation, we were invited for tea—a casual moment that allowed us to connect with the remarkable individuals who worked there.
While sipping tea, I struck up a conversation with Dr. Farahat Naqi, the visionary owner and driving force behind the publishing house’s success. As we spoke, the topic turned to Dr. Shagufta Bano, one of my most cherished teachers. I couldn’t help but express my admiration for her, praising her wisdom and the profound impact she’d had on me as a student. Dr. Naqi listened patiently to my enthusiastic tribute for a while, his expression unreadable. Then, with a sudden chuckle, he raised his hands and interrupted, 'Please, stop. Enough. I know her far better than you do—she’s been my wife for the past 30 years.
