Mel, Chief, Vishnu are among those here on GNI who knew Aleem for years. A signature event was binging out thousands on Liberty Avenue in wintery cold February of 1998 on short notice following the Jan 12th mayhem in Georgetown. Aleem used his medium to connect to a Guyanese community (both Indians and Blacks) for such events in New York. He was very much involved in the Brooklyn and Bronx communities as well.

Pagwah reporting was a steady staple on his Spotlight TV program as was cricket news in the days before the Internet and ready news of interest to the immigranrt Guyanese community. From Six Heads and Braithwaite to movie producers to Guyanese politicians - Aleem had them all covered.
