I had this wonderful chance of working with Misbah Qadri in the year 2008 at Samaa TV’s platform. I found Misbah a brilliant, extremely cooperative and very friendly as a colleague and a wonderful person on top of it. What makes Misbah hold a special place in my memories is his belief in teamwork. Misbah can be friendly and intelligent at the same time. I treasure what I learnt from him and cherish when we did several transmissions, breaking news and bulletins together and I can safely vouch that with Misbah hours seemed minutes. My best wishes remain for Misbah and his endeavors.
