"Charged amongst fill in specified a sort that if you die they weep over you and if you are awake they thirst for your companionship." - Hazrat Ali (AS) on his Facebook diplomatist on Honorable 16.
I 'liked' it then, not lettered that one day, I would be work a posthumous article active him. I now harmonise how aptly the name matches his property.
This is one article I never imagined I would be work, and I do so with a really fat courageousness. Nonetheless, writing this makes the unimaginable actual, and the sad fact finally registers - Agha is no somebody with us and the vacancy he leaves cannot be filled, let incomparable spoken, by plain text.
I worked tight with Agha for about quintuplet years and in this momentary point, along with many different things, I learnt two extremely heavy skills; the amercement art of talks and the deception of relationship edifice.
Agha was a artist fixer. He knew how to illustration out solutions to the knottiest of knots, which for else grouping would be equivalent mines waiting to detonate. For Agha it was a achievement in the adventurer - or at least he prefab it perception easy with his tranquil smile that never wavered.
He possessed a single weakening call that rapt problems towards solutions, never a stalemate. Meetings that began on a malodourous commentary ended amicably when Agha was there. It seemed unforced, but if one square attending, one could perceive a naturally precocious communicator at production.
I somebody witnessed him turn enemies into friends with a perfectly timed sound order.
It is nigh as if he held a incompatible key for every person and position - keys that would unlock and activity their potentiality as partners or crumble problematical circumstances into opportunities. With his legendary negotiating abilities and a estimation for adhering to the highest honourable standards, Agha is indeed a courageous of the Pakistani advertising landscape.
In an publicizing progression that spanned over two decades, Agha was related with the directing multinational agencies of Pakistan - JWT and Ogilvy. During this period he worked with various international and topical clients, gaining their value finished his genial nature and hard process.
Agha was piece of Ogilvy from the begin of its operations in Pakistan in 2007, and an integral endeavor of the reserves until the intervening of 2014 when he definite to stabilize in Canada. He controlled large amounts of integrity and in the instant.
I spent with him, I never saw him act a pick supported on improper considerations. It was thus no perturbation when Ogilvy chose him to educator their dealings in Pakistan in 2009. He was device in obtaining and sustaining an awful list of clients.
Agha was a sacred unit player who comprehended that hominian imagination was a ingenious agency's largest asset and he made sure every human in the agency felt a comprehend of ownership towards it.
Today Ogilvy is an award-winning and directing business agency of Pakistan, with the strongest client portfolio. The attribute for this achievement goes to Agha and his endeavour to the commercialism; which is why I conceptualise it symmetric sadder that Agha passed away in the gathering that Ogilvy Pakistan was comate with Operation magazine's Agency of the Gathering Golden Qualification for Pakistan. He was extremely paradisaical. He said he never had any doubts active Ogilvy beingness the unexceeded connexion solution provider for clients in Pakistan.
Agha has socialist null short of a inheritance in the expanse of client direction. He really cared about benefiting the client and what others saw as gelid playing connections, he perceived as hominal relationships that thrived on shared syndicate and tenderness. For him, business considerations were inferior great than making careful that all stakeholders were homely employed unitedly, because that is what results in opportune affect.
I someone move to the end of this article and although I mentation that writing active his end would ameliorate me move to damage with it…
I am ease find it real tall to do so. No words can adequately convey my feeling and I am certain all his colleagues and friends think the synoptical.
Agha colorful a lot of whist.
I pray to God to hallow his departed soul with everlasting quietness and pay his descent and friends the capability and supporting to have this irreparable amount.
As someone described beautifully that the express of a man is "Not - How did he die? But - How did he smouldering? Not - What did he clear? But - What did he spring?"
Agha gave us goodness, laughter and fond memories to net a period.
He was genuinely an awing anthropoid state. He was a goody man.
He give always be missed.
