Sahib said, “By the Grace of Allah, food was very delicious and we will come here again sometimes, if Allah provided an opportunity”. However, such opportunity never arose. Chaudhry Sahib was not in the habit of slipping in English words here and there when conversing in Urdu. He made sure of that himself and advised others to do the same. I recall, a young man adopted that practice of mixing English and Urdu during conversation with him. Chaudhry Sahib counselled him most amicably. He said: ‘’Look! I know both Urdu and English; speak in whichever language you please but do not intermingle the two. ’’ I noticed that his advice did have the desired effect temporarily, however, the deep-rooted habit soon took over again. Undeterred, Chaudhry Sahib persevered with this Jihad of reformation.
