In Loving Memory of Sir Tahir Ullah Khan…

Sir Tahir Ullah Khan… It's hard to believe he's gone. I met him in the morning the day he died. He gave me the same friendly smile he used to every time. He was a great man, a wonderful teacher and lovely colleague. He was one of the nicest and most lenient teachers I had the honour to meet. Some of us took advantage of that, I know I did. I remember that after he would scold me, he would call me and explain to me in the most polite way what I was doing wrong. He did above and beyond his job as a teacher by acting as a guide for us. I will always respect him and would like to thank him for the way he influenced my life, but now I can't. In my opinion, he was the most experienced and best Urdu teacher that I ever had. I just wish I had gotten one last chance to tell him how amazing he was and apologize for my behavior. All I know is that he will be missed and can never be replaced!!!

Ramis Adeeb [O2B]

Gone but never to be forgotten…. On February 10, 2011, Resource Academia lost one of its most amazing, brilliant and experienced teachers. Sir Tahirullah Khan will be missed. We never got to tell him how much we loved and respected him; in fact, most of us took him for granted. We misbehaved and we were rude. We were probably the worst students he ever got to teach. However, he was the best teacher we could ever have gotten. He was always patient and kind. We took advantage of him and he gave us love in return. Now that he is gone, we realize our mistakes and it is too late.

He may not be with us, but thoughts of him will always stay in our hearts. Rest in peace, Sir Tahirullah.

Abeera Attiq [O2A]

10th February, 2011, a tragic day. Sir Tahirullah Khan, you were a great man. The best teacher we could have asked for. You had your own way of scolding everyone. We will miss you. You were the most respected teacher of Resource Academia. We loved you and used to have an amazing time in your classes. God bless you and may your soul rest in peace.
