Knowing that I abhor special treatment, he would surreptitiously pass message to airport staff to take care..I passed through his residence a while ago. Stopped at the entrance, thinking Shujat will soon emerge and in his typical wry style bid adieu to Delhi wala. The gates were locked. Housekeeper Bashir also seemed left to ancestral village.
