oh ok.. I think i ran into your brother on naseeb too. I was just as suprised to meet him. I think when we moved into the military compund, you may have moved out..so we may not have known each other personally. My mom does remember your family though.

Yes! Sheeba and Deeba are the Alam girls! I know an Aliya, she was the elder daughter of Dr Younus Khan who was an anaesthesiologist! The four of us were a gang in the compound :P Always fighting and making up lol. All three are now in the UK :) Your Mom might remember Dr Younus who was in ENT, Ammi's name is Farida? That would be us :P

I'm not exactly sure when we moved into RKH cuz before that we lived at the King Faisal hospital compound... We moved to saudi in 82 when i was 2 years old... so doing the math ..i think we were in RKH around 86 or 87 til 93... I forget my building number but it was one of the tall buildings and our windows at the back faced the bus stop.. ask your parents maybe they knew a Dr. Ashraf family or something.. If not i'm pretty sure they knew Dr. Daud

Fareeha! Oh wow! We lived in Building 22...it was near the bus stop and had a car park in front...but I finished school there in June 87...in Sept 87 came to boarding school in England...went back to Riyadh in Oct 87 for half term and then back for the last time in Dec 87/Jan 88. We may well have bumped into each other. I had friends who lived near the playground, I think it was Building 18? Those were tall buildings :P I loved the pools and the sauna best at the compound! What a small world :P
