Al Hajj Mir Noor Mohammed Khan Mengal (aka Khanjee)

Al Hajj Khanjee "An Inspiration"

Eldest son of Mir Mohammed Rahim Khan Mengal & born in the late 1920's in famed Sardarkhel family of Zagr Mengal tribe in Nushki British Balochistan, Mir Noor Mohammed Khan (aka Khanjee) had his basic education up to matriculation level in London where his father was posted as an army officer. Upon his fathers retirement they moved back to Killi Mengal Nushki, Babu Mohammed Rahim Khan fell ill soon after & alas passed away. This left Khanjee responsible to provide for his family as the eldest son.

Soon after Khanjee joined the ranks of the Baloch regiment, British Indian army. He served for a short while in the army but later decided to leave due to personal circumstances. Because of his dedication & commitment Khanjee was requested to stay by his grand & prominent commander Col. R.E. Fellows, but circumstances did not permit.

He later joined the Political Agents Office and continued his father tribal terms as well.

Throughout his service he has shown dedication, professionalism, sterling timekeeping & attendance. His professionalism, administrative skill & mathematical mind, earned him many promotional opportunities during his service, but because of his family & personal circumstances he had to turn them down.

His exceptional service has been appreciated in places like the United Kingdom, with a distinguished service recommendation from his department which has earned him a letter of appreciation from the Queen.

Khanjee has performed Hajj thrice once in 1985, second time 1995 and third around in 1999 returning as Al Hajj Khanjee. Al Hajj Khanjee has also traveled around the globe meeting & learning from a broad spectrum of people. He has rubbed shoulders with high level dignitaries as well as the common person on the street all of whom he treats with equal respect.

Al Hajj Khanjee now retired, lives in his newly constructed house complete with his very own orchard at his home and his other lands which he maintains. His children have gone onto very successful careers as well.

''“Is the glass half empty or half full”, do we appreciate & treasure what we do have & not what we wish to have, are we full of patience, inner peace & satisfaction. One man that is living proof of inner peace, satisfaction, respect, sincerity & gratitude is Al Hajj Mohammed Khanjee.''
