To sir, with reverence: A humble tribute to Mr A. Rahim

It was with considerable hesitation that I accepted to write something about Mr A. Rahim when Mr Afzal Haq Qarshi approached me for this. Mr A. Rahim has been my chief, my teacher, my mentor, and my guide. I have always regarded him as my role model in professional and personal life. It is very difficult to do justice to an undertaking like this when the subject is so venerable a personage as Mr A. Rahim.
