Igot
to know Abdus Salam when we were students in
Government College, Lahore, in the early
1940s. We both lived in the New Hostel; he was
a year senior to me in class but, of course,
aeons ahead in intellectual prowess. I
remember he liked good food (Aloo Gosht being
his favourite) and consumed it heartily. We
often chided him about his hunger for food
keeping full pace with his hunger for looks,
but he never minded our impudence. He had
instructed his servant to put a lock on the
door of his cubicle so that boys did not
disturb him while he studied. The only
relaxation he permitted himself was a game of
chess in the Common Room with Khushia, the
elderly keeper of this facility that housed
several indoor games.
