Former MLC Haji K S Muhammad Masood, who was recently re-elected as president of The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, took charge at an official program held at the office of the Committee in Bunder, Mangaluru on Wednesday.
Vice presidents Haji C Mahmood and Haji Ibrahim Kodijal, general secretary Haji Mohammad Haneef, and treasurer Haji Musa Moideen also took charge on the occasion.

Srinagar ,JAMMU & KASHMIR / Buffalo (New York State) USA :
Srinagar :
The dream project of a Kashmiri doctor couple, Khurshid Ahmad Guru and Lubna Guru, to set up a Kashmiri museum abroad that was envisioned in 2020 has finally become a reality.
In the backdrop of the picturesque yet roaring Niagara Falls, world’s first overseas museum of Kashmiri culture and arts has been set up by the couple.
Khurshid Guru told reporters that over 12 million people visit the Niagara Falls each year and even if a small percentage of them visit the museum, his dream will bear fruit.
To assert its origin, Khurshid has named the museum as ‘Centre for Kashmir’. It includes a number of Kashmiri artefacts depicting the culture, history and art of the region.
The passion of the Kashmiri doctor bears its origin in the brutal assassination of his father, renowned cardiologist Abdul Ahad Guru, who was killed on April 1, 1993 in Srinagar.
Khurshid is a senior robotic oncologic surgeon and heads the urology department of Roswell Park comprehensive cancer centre at Buffalo in the US. He has been working in Buffalo along with his paediatrician wife, Lubna, for the last 17 years.
The couple has assembled 1,500 rare books on Kashmir besides artefacts, which is said to be the biggest collection on Kashmir outside the Valley.
In 2020, the centre purchased the former First Church of Christ Scientist on Park Place. It has its own history. The church had been built in 1917 in the Gothic Revival style by the First Society of Christian Scientists of Niagara Falls that existed since July 26, 1903.
Post-purchase, the interior remodelling started. False ceilings were taken down, the roof was renovated, and windows were resealed, and an elevator was installed. They are also planning to buy two additional houses to provide residential space to visiting Kashmiri artistes, scholars and contributors.
The museum is now ready to be thrown open. The items planned to be displayed include paintings, out of print books, and Kashmiri handicrafts, including shawls, rugs, wood carving, papier machie and other items.
Since costs have shot up post Covid-19, the couple is raising funds from patrons of Kashmiri culture and art and also those interested in synthesis of global culture that consists of different remote yet deeply interconnected cultures of different races and regions.
The centre acquired the property for $200,000 from its owner, Michael Suszek; spent $1.25 million for construction and rennovation, another $250,000 for furniture and equipment, and $300,000 for other costs.
Post the pandemic, the costs escalated. This was despite the fact that the New York authorities approved a tax concession to the 9,400 sq ft building in September 2021. The centre is a public charity that aims to serve as the global focal point on arts, culture and history of the South Asian Himalayan region. To preserve, protect and promote the ‘Kashmiri way of life’ is central to its existence.
The centre hopes that it can run on its own as a business operation, with ticket sales and annual memberships covering the operation costs.

Recently, the Women Start-up Summit 4.0 was organized by the Kerala Start-up Mission (KSUM). The special thing is that a large number of young entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities participated in this conference and presented their innovative ideas to the audience.
Naureen Ayesha is one of the hundreds of women entrepreneurs who attended the conference in Kochi. Naureen and her husband Nasif Nazar’s start-up Femisafe is a Femitech company, the idea of which came up during one of their conversations.
Naseef Nazar has worked in the fields of Software, HR, and Marketing. In 2020, he too ventured into entrepreneurship.
At the conference, Naureen said that ‘operating from non-metro cities like Kochi also means having a smaller footprint’. However, the products that Famisafe offers are very generic, so Naureen believes that smaller markets are a better option to make a mark before expansion.
In fact, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the couple noticed that the sanitation workers had to pick up sanitary pads from the garbage. Those days, even janitors would come once a week due to the Covid lockdown.
Naureen said in one of her interviews, “It was horrifying to see bloody pads being lifted with bare hands. Sanitation workers had to separate the gel from the plastic so that the waste could be processed.”
At the same time, Nasif advised Naureen to work on creating awareness among women for use of menstrual cups in place of sanitary pads because these could be reused for several years and is also cost-effective. Most importantly, these don’t end up in garbage dumps for the sanitary workers to clean up.
Naureen Ayesha and Naseef Nazar
Naureen worked on the idea and in 2020 Femisafe became a reality.
The tagline of Femisafe – The best friend of women – thus contributes to women’s hygiene. Besides menstrual cups, the company has also launched menstrual cup sterilizers, intimate washes, face razors, body razors, and skin care.
Naureen and Naseef have focused on making inroads into the smaller markets that have been neglected by the big companies, i.e. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. In that too, South India is their priority. Through Femisafe, Naureen is not only offering quality products to women but is also spreading awareness about their hygiene, especially during their periods.
Naseef said their company’s focus is more on South India as they have a more cultural understanding of the region.
According to an estimate, 12.3 billion sanitary napkins are used annually in the country and nearly half of the women of India are unable to get disposable sanitary napkins.
While the use of sanitary napkins is a good hygiene practice, their disposal poses health and environmental hazard.
In these circumstances, products like menstrual cups are becoming increasingly popular. Dr. Sonil Singh says, “Among products like tampons, napkins, etc., menstrual cups are the best as these are comfortable and also environment-friendly.”
The products of Femisafe
Naureen Ayesha writes on her website: “Right now we are reaching out to a section of the society through social media. We are constantly trying to make them aware and for this, we are also organizing seminars, workshops, and sessions.”
According to Naureen, Femisafe is now preparing to enter the market with menstrual cramp patches, health supplements, and products for skin care, mouth care, and baby care.
Femisafe sells its products in small towns and runs campaigns to get the attention of college students, working professionals women, and mothers. Most of FamiSafe’s sales are through Amazon, Flipkart, and its website.
Femisafe products are also available in leading pharmacies in and around Kochi. Currently, the startup has an ARR of Rs 1 crore with an investment of Rs 30 lakh. Naureen handles R&D, HR, and product development while Naseef looks after marketing, branding, and finance. The venture is part of the Wadhwani Foundation Liftoff and the Stanford Seed Spark Accelerator Program.
Naureen writes, “The biggest challenge in this business is to spread awareness because this case is like this. There is a taboo regarding menstrual hygiene in society and people do not like to talk about it. Social media has helped a lot in tackling this challenge. Social media is a great platform to unite people, through which we can eliminate these taboos and inertia.”

Mohammad Ahsan Ahsan was known and respected in all the literary circles of Kashmir.
Born in 1930 at Para Mohalla Hajin, Ahsan sahib passed away on September 9, 2017, leaving hundreds and thousands of literature lovers mourning the loss.
As Ahsan Memorial Foundation is being launched on 9th of September this year at Hajin Bandipora, this column is an attempt to remember this great literary figure, teacher, and administrator.
When I talk to literary figures of Kashmir about this great cousin of Professor Mohi ud Din Hajini, I am told that Ahsan was really a doer of Ahsan (favour) in his conduct, attitude, and work.
When he was in the teaching profession, he would not only help students and fellow colleagues but would also encourage them to pursue higher education. He would counsel students from rural areas and help them in reaching different colleges and universities. He was known as the teacher of all the teachers of Sonawari area and had earned high respect for his qualities as a teacher.
Ahsan sahib fell in love with Kashmiri language and literature due to his association with one of the stalwart figures and intellectuals of Kashmir, Professor Mohi ud Din Hajini. Being his cousin, Ahsan sahib would be always with him in different literary and socio-political missions. He stood by him through thick and thin. When Professor Hajini founded Halqa e Adad Sonawari and Adbee Markaz Kamraz, Ahsan sahib was not only among the key members but also among the policy makers of these two of the oldest literary organisations of Kashmir.
Ahsan sahib shifted to Art and Cultural Academy as the editor of the Kashmiri section of its publications. He never compromised on the quality of work that the Academy was carrying out in terms of research and publications in Kashmiri language. He was one of the key members of the editors committee that published the Encyclopedia of Kashmir and the Dictionary of Kashmiri Language. During his tenure at the Academy, Ahsan sahib continued to work for the promotion of Kashmiri language and literature officially as well as non-officially.
However, despite his administrative and official business, Ahsan sahib would always find time to help and guide poets from different villages of Kashmir. Since he was a good poet and prose writer, many poets would approach him for guidance in technical aspects of poetry. Ahsan sahib would sit for hours with these poets and explain to them in detail how they can develop competence in the correct use of prosody and other such things in poetry. Many a good poet from north Kashmir acknowledge that but for Ahsan sahib’s encouragement and guidance, they could not have proved their mettle in the field of poetry. He, therefore, continued to be a good teacher even when he was in administration.
After his retirement from government service, Ahsan sahib became the Principal of MD Hajini Memorial Public School. He also remained a social and linguistic activist. He performed many roles at the same time and he was respected and loved by all sections of society. He even acted as the Convener of the Kashmir Chapter of Sahitya Akademy twice before he passed away. His friends, colleagues and even critics respected and loved him to the extent that nobody could ever question his credibility. Now when a literary foundation is being launched in his name at Hajin Sonawari, his friends, colleagues and companions have attempted to do what was long overdue to him. On this occasion, as I talked to his well-wishers at Hajin, a collection of his prose writings titled Ahsan un Ahsun is being released. The foundation is also releasing a journal titled Shihej Boni in the loving memory of Ahsan sahib. This journal contains articles and papers about Ahsan sahib and his contributions to Kashmiri language, culture and literature.
Earlier, the founder of the association and nephew of Ahsan sahib, Ab Ahad Hajini, had released a collection of poetry of Ahsan sahib titled Achar Katchi Taam Aaabas Peth from the platform of Halqa e Adab Sonawari.
Ahsan sahib was not an ordinary poet. He could have been in the league of legends like Rehman Rahi in poetry if he would have taken it seriously. But since his was a multi-tasking personality, he would write only occasionally and was even averse to publishing it during his lifetime.
His nephew, Ab Ahad Hajini, would say that Ahsan sahib would flare up at hearing him talk of the publication of his poetry and would say that “only after my death you can do what you like”. Nevertheless, Achar Katchi Taam Aabas Peth is a monumental piece of work that students of Kashmiri literature should read for understanding the dilemmas of modern man, the psychological fragmentation of contemporary Kashmiris, and other such interesting themes.
Apart from being a poet, a teacher, an administrator, a social and cultural activist, Ahsan sahib was a great editor and translator. He has edited dozens of books of Kashmiri poetry and has translated Urdu and English poetry into Kashmiri also.
While he is being remembered at Hajin on the launching ceremony of Ahsan Memorial Foundation and two important publications in his name are being released, I would say that Tathi was a great human being, always available for all, and full of love and care for one and all. This is why he commands love and respect in all the hearts and eyes that knew him in Kashmir. May Allah grant him Jannat ul Firdous!

Techno-educationalist, Professor K.K. Abdul Gaffar’s autobiography, ‘Njaan Sakshi’ (me as the witness), was released by cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a grand function organised in Kasaragod on Saturday night.
Marwan Al Mulla, the CEO of Dubai Health Authority (DHA), received the first copy from Dhoni at a function that was held in the lawns of Taj Bekal. The legendary cricketer presented copies of the book to dignitaries including noted actor Tovino Thomas, organisers said in a release.
Speaking during the event, Dhoni expressed his gratitude towards his teachers.
He said the autobiography will provide an insight into Prof. Gaffar’s journey and how education and students have changed over the time.
“As a teacher, you have to make it as simple as possible for the students to understand. In a class, you have to get to every student as all of them have different IQ levels. So I feel teaching is not only a profession, it is an art where you discipline students and also tell them about their strengths and weaknesses,” the ace cricketer said. The former Indian captain came all the way from Ranchi for the release of the book penned by the father of his friend, Dr. Shajir Gaffar.
Governor of Kerala, Arif Mohammed Khan, in a video message said that Prof. Gaffar’s autobiography highlights his life, knowledge, and dedication.
During the event, Prof. Gaffar’s students shared their experiences. The book was introduced by senior journalist T.A. Shafi.
The infamous disappearance of P. Rajan, an engineering student from Kozhikode REC, during the emergency period, is one of the unforgettable memories that Prof. Gaffar narrates in the book from his professional life.
He recounts the pressure put on him on behalf of the government sources and the police to influence him as a witness in the case. He was the last person who saw Rajan before the latter was taken into custody by the police from the REC hostel on 1 March 1976.
According to Prof Gaffar, he had met Rajan and his friends at his place as they were coming back after winning the university youth festival. His emotional account of Rajan waving at him as he walks into the night is one of the heartwarming passages of the book. The book has a lot of such details about the case, both known and unknown to Kerala society. In addition to teaching at REC Kozhikode and TKM Engineering College Kollam, Professor Abdul Gaffar served as the principal of the Engineering College in Bhatkal, Karnataka.
Senior Supreme Court Attorney and son of Kapil Sibal, Akhil Sibal, Former Union Minister Salim Iqbal Sherwani, Uduma MLA, C.H. Kunhambu, Kasaragod MLA, N.A. Nellikkunnu, Manguluru City South MLA Vedavyas Kamath, were among others who participated.
