Comments & Feedback

Hello Shaheen,

Was trying to make contact and found you here (after a search for Aga Khan Social Welfare Board, Toronto).

Would you contact me?

PS
I went through your profile in Linked In and here I see that you seem to be a bit of a revolutionary yourself. Well, so am I, in my own way. We have a lot of questions about things the way they are in Africa. I should be happy to talk about my own concerns the way things are going here.

All the best,
Mohamed

Dawn Carr, thank you for your kind words. I look forward to learning (more) about the "Dialogue" album.
Best wishes,

Hello Shaheen your work is beautiful and wonderful! You may want to check out www.ShawnRae.com who is on a 9 country, 12 city media interview tour regarding the first Muslim Christmas album per the "Dialogue" of the King of Saudi Arabia and the Pope.

You would probably be a good interview subject in the future.

Take care and keep up the great work.

To Shaheen Sultan Dhanji,
I enjoyed your article very much. If my memory is clear, Gauhar Jan was in the early 1900's? My father has her record collection.
