Comments:

Loved the poem.

Here in the same strain is one of my own.
Return to Africa.
Strange that a country not of my birth
Should mean this to me
Should tie me with invisible bonds
And draw me back constantly
With a fierce demanding jealousy.
So that the soft and gentle hills of home
Make but small impression on my heart
The swirling mists, the magnetic hearth,
Release the spirit they surely have the right to claim,
To speed away with each yearning breath of mine
'Til body follows spirit...home.

I spent 6 years as a child in Zanzibar and return when I can; still love it. We lived in the building which became St Joseph's School (my first) and is now Tumekuja High School. Am now well and truly Canadian. love your site.
Thank you!

Maggie

Comments:	What a fantastic effort, I am from Zambia. I have really enjoyed the site and I really understand when you say - family means a lot. I remember my home town - my motherland. My memories have compelled me to start a website on my hometown - A town called Ndola in Zambia, when I lived there I was the king of my neighbourhood. The closest I came to Zanzibar is when I visited Dar es Salaam and by road travelling all the way from Zambia ( what a memorable journey it was)and stood on the shores of Dar-es Salaam and saw in the distance the Island of Zanzibar. My brother in law is from Dar-es-Salaam. Great pictures - All the best, Salaams

Comments:	Arun, I hope you are the Arun Patel I went to school with. My name, of course, is Sadru Mohamed. I used to live in Mchangani. They used to call me Abhi. I think we sat next to each other in Standard 6 or 7 or 8 or 9. Makan, Shiraz Janmohamed, Jiva twins and Nazmu Bhanji were some of the other class mates. Also Vinod and Dilpi Shahwere were there. I think we were prefects together in Std 8. Remember Mrs Spry and Mr Qurban Husein. I used to finish 1st in class. Then again we played cricket in our team called "Hollywood". If you are not that person, then I apologize to you, but still say Jambo. Oh, how I wished I knew you were still in Zanzibar. I was there exactly a month ago with my family and passed by your house and where you guys played cricket by the fort. I stayed at the SERENA. Let me know if you recognize me and I'll send some pictures also including my picture from the recent trip. Looking forward to hearing from you. Abhi

I am the son of Marzia Shariff Fazel and at one time was married to Nargis daughter of Fatma Shariff Fazel. We have been divorced now for over 17 years and you should correct your information that Nargis is not any more "Nargis Murtaza Hussein Ladha". 2. You have listed my only one of my four daughters, i.e. Nishad. Please note the correct spelling of her name. 3. Names of my other daughters are: Afshan, Farnaz and Mehnaz. My wife's name if you need to enter in your site is Azmeena d/o Mehdi Ali Manji. Please confirm that you have received this e-mail and that corrections will be made. With salaams, Murtaza

I live in Chino Hills, California and viist Dar almost twice a year, Zanzibar once every two years. Anyways, I enjoyed looking at your pictures, memories, especially Old Fort during fete, and the 13th Zanzibar Scouts Troop. Take care ndugu and see ya when we can, the world is small, and keeping in touch with fellow Zanzibaris is part of my worship. Salamu Nyumbani: Ukera Peera (Mtoto wa Miwani Mdogo - Khanga sellers and designers in Mbuyuni Zanzibar, my Dad recently (last year) was nominated, recognized and awarded by Zanzibar Government "Life Achievement Award - 2005" for serving Zanzibar Khanga Trade). Check out my website: www.PromoBay.com Fazal: Certainly I enjoyed watching those pictures by Arun. Keep up the good job, may be we should send you some pictures of my Dad, Kasu Miwani with his awards, now in Dar es Salaam, Alhamdulillah 95 years young and mobile.

Some of the buildings have really rundown it seems there is no much maintenance going on. Thanks Regards Chandrakant Australia

Comments:	http://www.dewani.ca/nasirmainpage.htm Dear Mr. Nasir, I was touched by your comments of not visiting Zanzibar because of many memories there! Sometime I sit with my uncle who left Zanzibar immediately after the revolution in 1964 and he returned for a visit after 30 years to say the same thing you mentioned on your website. It is very sad for what you both went through. I went back to Zanzibar from the U.S where I was studying in 2001 and got married and took my wife back to California. It was interesting for me to keep the connection with Zanzibar at this later stage. As my uncle once said he cherishes the memory he has of Zanzibar and visiting there again would destroy that memories. Hata baadhi ya ndugu zetu waliokuwa uingereza kwa zaidi ya miaka thalathini wao pia huona bora kuja huku Emirates kutembea kuliko kwenda Zanzibar kwa sababu hizo hizo. Though you don’t know me, I was touched by your memories of Zanzibar and enjoyed the photos you took and hence decided to drop a few lines. My regards to you and your family. Said Baharoon

Comments:	Mahmood, Great pictures from that link of Jaffer Manek. Loved them! I haven't finished reading the scripts, but couldn't wait to see the pictures. There are so many pictures of the Shagani area, which has brought back such lovely memories of my student days! The close up of the Post Office, the Church and that narrow street leading to the church are really beautiful pictures. I could actually see myself walking or riding on my bike around these places! Boy, what memories! I remember going to the church sometimes and 'pray' or lighting a candle with my school mates specially when we had a netball match or tournament that I desperately wanted to win!! Those were the days! I just can't believe that these places and buildings are just the same as when I left them. Husna

Swiming, playing marbles and climbing the big majanini tree was our continuous pass time. The mosque we were praying in was the one at the TOM's (Philips). I left Zanzibar in 1974 and have not visited again. I came across the wonderful pictures you have taken which have all taken me there. We must be close majanini boys because if I were to take the pictures I would almost certainly have taken the same streets and places. Thanks for triggering my memory. Khalid (now in Oman).

Comments:	Hi Nasir, I just wanted to tell you that I have spent a lovely morning looking at all your Zanzibar photos, having somehow stumbled across your 'page' whilst searching for facts about Sir John Hathorn Hall, Resident during our years on the island. My mother worked from him from the outbreak of war in 1939 until we left in 1941. She did decoding of Government messages from the UK. She had a very great respect for him and I still have a silver coffee pot, (no, I can't remember what they're called either!) which he presented to her when she left Zanzibar. I was last there in the nineties and see some more changes in your photos. But it is such joy just to gaze at the narrow streets and market place and, most importantly, the sea and dhows! I miss it still because it put me to sleep every night as a child. (We lived in the middle flat of St Joseph's/ Tumekuja school). I slept so soundly when I visited and we had a little bungalow at Uroa Beach. Are you going to be coming to Canada for the SJCS Reunion? Thank you again for the beautiful, evocative photos. As you say "Memories! memories!" Maggie (Thomas)

Comments:	Dear Nasir, Just wanted to thank you for bringing back wonderful wonderful memories of Zanzibar. I am an ex-Zanzibari and during my lunch hour decided to check out anything interesting on Zanzibar/Tumekuja school and I came across your pictures of Zanzibar/Dar. Zanzibar is where I was born, studied at Lumumba College, worked in the bank and then moved to Dar. I studied at Ben Bella School too and my God the pictures of the school brought back all the memories. My eyes were stinging with tears but I am at work and tried to hold them back. Despite all the hard times we had in Zanzibar I still call Zanzibar my home and Canada my adopted home. Like yourself I did take my husband (who is from Mombasa) and my 2 kids to Zanzibar and that was in 1995. Its been a long long time and I do hope someday I will be able to go back for just one last time. When you mentioned the fruits I could literally taste them. Doriani was my favourite and I was the only one in my family who would eat it. So I would have to go on the terrace and eat because of the smell. We do get it here in Canada but I have never tasted it yet. Anyway, I just thought I would thank you for taking me back to my home sweet home, Zanzibar. Hope your kids had a wonderful time. Mine enjoyed the beach and the mishikakis at forodhani. Kwaheri for now. Victoria

Your site came up and i could not believe it when i saw the family tree going back to what i clearly recognised as my grandfather. I do not know what the family tree is like prior to my grandfather but it appears that the Dewani family is the common denominator. Anyhow to update you - My Father was Akberali Mohmadali Fazal Mohamed Karim. He married Shera Janmohamed and they had me - Arif Karim and my sister Selina Karim. I married Shaila Virani and we have 2 boys - Omar Karim and Hussain Karim. Feel free to update your great site. My father passed away suddenly 7 years ago and i miss him dearly. He always spoke so fondly of Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam. They owned a textile business i belive called "Karim's". If anyone knows them please drop me an e-mail. Best Wishes, Arif Karim.

The person who has made this site possible has to be appreaciated and nothing but love and dedication has given us this lovely site. That is what Steve Vaugh had said sheer dedication has brought me to where I am now. I am sure if our players had the chance of performing in the international arena then cricketers like Golo Shamba and Musleem Kara and many players who were only dreaming about Cricket would have kept records.

I remember my family members talking a lot of good things about Zanzibar. My paternal uncle who reached 90 years and was a photograper nicknamed (kichwa). My mother had visited Zanzibar first time in 1944 in a Ship and also the Agakhan was in the same ship and they all were given free meals. She had a very good stay in Zanzibar and ate a lot of fruits and madafus. Last year I visited with my nephew. Sad to see the tall houses all empty and not many older people. The families have reduced 1 to 2. Again I repeat the site is wonderful and you all have done a good job!!!!

I am the youngest of Jaffer Rahim's family and am now living in Paris. I always read your EAcircle mails and find them very interesting. Although I was very young when we left Zanzibar, I can never forget that place but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity of going back since I left. You are very lucky to have gone there and kind enough to show us pictures we have been dreaming of. Is there any way of getting a poster size picture on the internet or any other way so that I can frame it and hang it in the apartment? Many thanks. Ahsante Sana, Kind Regards, Rosina Karmaly

We migrated to Kashmir (with a holy islamic saint named Shai-e-hamdan) , India in the 13th Century from Khatlan Iran (Persia) where we were Shahs. We have many family documents and historical written materials dating back over 600 years (sounds hard to believe but true). Our name - Dewani - was given to us my the Moghuls of India - to act as governors of the state of Jammu and Kashmir upon its annexation by Aurangzheb in the 14th century. I am actively trying to understand where other branches of my family may exist. We also historically carried names of Shah and Khatlani. Anyway - would be intrigued to draw some connections with others. Great work on your site! Sincerely Shafkat R.A Dewani

Comments:	Dear Mahmood, Today I feel relatively organised after sorting few of my things that's why I now feel obliged to respond to your very kind email of 28/08/03 notifying me of the latest Zanzibar photos presented by your brother, Nasir, who resides in UK and who recently visited Zanzibar. Interestingly,your brother visited the island 33 years after he left it and did so solely for the sake of his family and, to him, the place looked so different to an extent that he felt he didn't belong there anymore and now he has no intention of going there again! Nasir and I see eye to eye in almost everything related to that once beautiful Island which here in the Gulf is still referred to as "Dream Island" I have gone through all the pages recently contributed by brother Nasir. I was very touched by all of them especially the scenes at Majanini area, the big tree in front of MD Kermali, and the back street behind MD Kermali building. I used to say my Friday congregational prayers under that big tree together with many other boys and used the passage behind MD Kermail's building almost daily, because I took my Quranic lessons at Msikiti Wa Ijumaa after evening prayers. Needless to mention Sultana, Majestic and 'Makumbushos'- Museums (Ndogo na Kubwa) which I used to visit quite often. I thank your brother Nasir for his rather touching sentiments. My regards also to Abdulrazak. My wife is just back from Tanzania where she spent two months. I must admit that her acute ambivalence towards your way of life there in Tanzania is no less baffling!

Comments:	Nasir, thanks for capturing those breathtaking views of Zanzibar. Your photographs are imbued with nostalgia and will hold a special place in my favourites. Zanzibar unfolds itself to us oldtimers and memories come flooding back:- 1. The 'mbatata' and 'uji wa khunde' of Ma Zena and that old tree at 'Majajini', opposite MD Kermali's mansion. 2. The fare at recess at ESM and its Parsee and Indian teachers clad in their 'topi, dhoti and kilemba' attire. 3. The koranic lessons by Mulla Bibi Zara at Mehfile Bibi Fatema where the ladies frequented for 'majlis' and the day time 'matam njiani'(julus) halted on its way back. 4. The spacious Mnazimoja where there was tennis ball cricket galore and which held 'maulidi' on the night of Prophet's birthday and also funfare during the 'eid' festivities. 5. At Mnazimoja's fIrst pitch pavilion Ahmed Himid and Mansoor Karimjee taking strides to open the innings for Zanzibar Combine(1956) against the visiting Pakistan cricket team led by Abdulhafeez Kardar. 6. The 'Barza Imamwaro' bustling with Ithnashri crowd and where 'khushali bankro' was held at night. At its far end was the old 'School Fez' which featured Maalim Rajabu and Mulla Karo in its day time sessions while various other 'malims' for its night classes. 7. The Sultana Cinema where there were 'One Shilling Allround' shows, and the Majestic Cinema which was rebuilt after the old Majestic had been gutted in one of the worst fires in Zanzibar's history. 8. Routinely traversing through those lanes at the junction of Ismaili Jamatkhana. 9. Maalim Yusuf's place, my neighbourhood, which conducted 'baraza' famous for its 'mazungumzo' holding the attention of passers by. 10. The 'Chungani' at Rahaleo, once an awesome sight, where we buried our dear and near ones and paid visits on Thursdays and during 'Muharram'. Also where the 'matam njiani'(julus) headed for on the afternoon of 'Chehlum'. Sadly the graves were flattened in the aftermath of the Revolution and the cemetery transformed. Today an altogether different sight appears in its stead. Alas, it's all history.

Comments:	Mahmood - Again a job well done! Simply a great presentation of the pictures. I loved the wordings or comments of the pictures since you used all our typical beautiful "Zanzibari language". I was really depressed when I saw Mehfile Bibi Fatema's building. We could see this building from our back windows at our kiponda house - I wonder if anyone of you remember that? I'm surprised though that nobody has come forward to renovate the place. It looks pathetic. I remember my friend Farida Tejani in Dar. had asked me for some funds to put on new curtains there last year and I did contribute whatever I could afford. But I never imagined how much the place had deteriorated. Anyway, my spirits were soon lifted up when I saw the back side of my school which brought such good memories - with the beach and the school from the side - what a lovely picture, Nasir. The front side of the school too looks the same. Where you were standing there, that's the place where the vendors would like line up and wait for us during recess (break time). Boy! What memories! The very top storey of the school building (shown very clearly on the photo)used to be the nuns headquarters - remember that? I could go on and fill a whole book, but I guess I better stop here now. - Husna

Any time you go and ask for any item, you will be provided... those were the days.. The photographs were excellent and revived my past memory ; EXCEPT was to sorry to see the pathetic sight and condition of our beloved island.... CGA is now a fishing market can never be BELIEVED... However, that is the reality of life and truth always bites... Nevertheless, our Zanzibar is JANGBAR and it will always remain a paradise for us. Please continue sending such photographs. Thanks once again - you cannot imagine how closely I was lost in thoughts.... Regards Ndugu Vinod

Comments:	Dear Mahmood, S/A. Thanks for your regular updates. I have come across members of certain old extended families who wished that they too had a creative minded person like you to do a similar lasting service to their families. It is said that there is a hadith quoting four deeds which keep away poverty by the Will of Allah. One of these is maintaining good relations with the relatives and being good to them in the time of need. However, that presupposes that one has first to know who their relatives, close and distant ones, are. And then, I believe that producing a family tree with all the time and labour which are involved, and for the beneficiaries of the tree to show interest and preserve it is itself one dimension of showing concern and feeling for the relatives.

Comments:	Mahmood, Mahmood welcome to Muscat, you will never get lost here, there are narrow streets exactly like Zanzibar and look alike buildings, it's amazing! Kiswahili is widely spoken here almost everywhere, not to forget Zanzibar food like sambusa, mbatata za urojo (but not like Adinani), bajia, sugar-cane juice, haluwa etc, you name it & it's right infront of you. All types of tropical fruits are available, we get some agricultural items freshly flown from Zanzibar. Also we have Zanzibarians (Indians) those whom we lived with them side by side in Zanzibar during good old sweet days, they do various businesses, shops, restaurants, sonaras etc. and we all speak Kiswahili so that we feel a bit part of Zanzibari life here. In other words Zanzibar was Sultanate of Oman & Zanzibar at that time. It's still in our hearts & minds, though we don't live in Zanzibar but we still live Zanzibarian life style & we will continue living this civilised way till the end of this universe. Also among other Zanzibarian communities who emigrated here are Commorians(Wangazija), Washihiri, Chotaras, WaAfrica (waswahili from Unguja & Pemba),Goans, Parses, Khojas, Bohoras, Khumbharos, Iranians, I think I can't name them all. But most of them are living again here side by side like Zanzibar. I have no more. Thanks & Regards. Abdullah al-Kindy

Comments:	Dear Mahmood, Ahsante sana. Kwa hakika unatukumbusha mbali. Roho inajaa na majonzi na iliyobaki ni makubusho tu kuwa zile siku zilikuwa peke na ukamilifu ingawa maisha tuliokuwa tukiyapitisha ni maisha ya chini na bila mahatijiyo ya dunia tuliyokuwa nao sasa. Salaamu na tafadhali fikisha salaamu zetu kwa mother. Natumai hajambo. Mimi ni wako mti (Mzanzibari mwezako) Murtaza Bandali

Comments:	I recently received the Dewani Family Tree CD (which included Msingi Tree). It is an informative piece of work, hard work at that, and I believe you had to spend all your spare time in this project. You have a very patient and understanding family, Mashallah. The photo collage on the inside of the CD holder brought many many memories especially of those individuals that I recognised. Alas many of them now no longer with us. Gone forever and their memories & stories of their survival in their early days in Zanzibar. How they settled in a new place, and then 2/3 generations the same happened to their descendants. Strange how history does repeat itself & in some cases comes full circle. Thank you once again for remembering to send me a copy too. Very much appreciated. Hamida

Comments:	I found your web site through a friend (Your Brother Nasir). Indeed, this is an acomplishment! A beautiful and well planned web page creation. At a rough guess, I presume you are some two years ahead on this. Most people are still in the "Stone Age" stage with regards to recording memories of their family in their family albums. I trust you will use your foresight to further enhance the web with suggestions from your family members and make it more interesting. I will take the liberty to come and peek at the site at a later date to marvel any further growth or changes. I hope you won't mind that. Hasnen

Comments:	This is an excellent achievement. This site can be as interesting and all-encompassing as we all would like it to be. That means that we to do our part and be interactive by providing our family photos for inclusion for all of us to share. Thank you Mahmood. We are all indebted to you. I would like to suggest three additions to the site - for future development. Firstly, we should work backwards and peg each generation to a decade in history. We can then tie it in to particular time in the world history as it affected us in East Africa and India. For example you might find out that the the third generation prevailed during the WW I and there should be a reference to it by clicking a button to open the historical gate. This needs a little bit of research. I would like to offer my services to you in that extent. Secondly, we should create a "Chat" section for us to communicate our ideas as they relate to the larger family. And thirdly, for the sake of posterity, we should create a special section for our youngsters and encourage they contact eachother so that after we are all gone, we would leave some of our heritage to them to continue with the spirit under which you and the Late Baplo and other have so aptly created. We all owe you a great deal. Thank you. Salim
