[radbrowndads]

My mamoo passed away last week. When my friends and co-workers asked who I lost, I called him “my uncle”, but in English, he’d be more accurately described as my “first cousin once-removed” or my mother’s cousin. I have been devastated to lose him. Some folks not familiar with the culture I was raised with probably read this and think: "I’m not even that close to my first cousins, so why is he grieving about his Mom’s cousin?" As with all of my work, I am incredibly loathe to explain things that are inherent to my perspective or attempt to validate my world view as the child of Muslim immigrants.

But I think the reason I grieve my mamoo is important. And I want people to know the reason. I also want my family, who for better or worse all share Facebook as a common platform, to understand what he meant to me.

The crux of the importance is in that word, mamoo. "Mother’s brother."

In Urdu and in practice, we never distinguished between my mother’s actual brother and my mother’s cousin, nor my father’s sister and my father’s cousin. All were the same. And family comes with things like loyalty, respect, and unconditional love. It also comes with drama and arguments. But family is there for you.

Now like any family, you are closer to some branches and less to others. For whatever reason, this mamoo and his three other siblings has always been very close to our branch. Every single one of my mother’s four cousins has been deeply present throughout my life. They were (and are!) older than my parents and all but one were born in British India, in Panipat, before Partition.

Somehow, losing him, especially so suddenly, made me (and my sister Zainab, who independently came to the same conclusion) realize something — the culture of my mother’s family (and probably my father’s too) is seeped through with a refugee’s loss of home. My mother and everyone younger than her only knew Pakistan, but they inherited this trauma of their parents losing self, of losing home, of giving up what we knew to go to a new homeland and not by choice. And they passed that down to us. I’ve written about why this Partition means a lot previously here (https://www.buzzfeed.com/ahmedaliak…/not-quite-eat-pray-love). But even still I did not realize that how deeply these lessons penetrated my consciousness until I lost my mamoo.

My mamoo was a child when that happened. I can't even bear to think of all the young children whose lives ICE has ruined, but while mamoo and family would never be able to return home to India, the family stayed together at least. And he and his siblings have been a living link to that past we were inculcated with. My grandfather died when I was two, so my mamoo was the oldest man on my mother’s side that I regularly spent any time with. I hesitate to say he was like my grandfather, because that wasn’t the relationship at all and it feels pandering to American sensibilities of what familial love is. But still, whether he knew it or not, he was one of the most important elder men in my family and I see his influence on many in our generation. The loss was not just of a beloved family member — but of another pillar that was holding the family together, despite us dispersing throughout the world and away from Panipat.

Now, I want to point out that I have not personally experienced any suffering from this sort of “refugee” mindset, as it might imply to some. I have immense social and economic privilege as the children of two doctors and I have everything I could have ever asked for. But I do have this feeling that our culture, our family, our love for another may be eroded over time away from home. My grandparents worried that time in Pakistan would erode the culture from Panipat. And I worry that time here will erode some of the good that I learned from Pakistani culture. There is no strict value to this change, but when I talk with outsiders about my family, they remark that they admire how close we are. How much we are there for each other. And I never want to lose that.

On a personal level, there were many things I admired about my mamoo. He was present at every function he could be, no matter how far. Despite living in Pakistan and the UK, he visited my dying mother an incredible amount of times with his wife, my mami-jaan, who we also lost a few years back. I would often wake up from the deep sadness of knowing you’re going to lose a parent to see that yes, once again, Lutfi mamoo and Anwar Mami had came. I would ask him…. “Did you come from Pakistan?” not believing he had made the trip again, just to sit with his younger sister. And inevitably, he had. He made it seem like it was nothing at all, that to be there for us in our time of need was as easy as breathing. Mashallah. I wish to be like that in my family’s lives one day.

He was funny and loving and giving. You could be stuffed full of food and he would still literally stick his hand down your throat with food. My father was never much of a feeder in that way, so I never stopped being tickled watching this grown man lovingly present his entire khandan with nawallas to choke down at every meal. Until I was his next target of affection and I had to find a way to fend him off.

Once, he fed me the most delicious nihari of my life…. And immediately I fell unbearably sick with food poisoning, as did my sisters. But I recovered. And he served nihari again. I told him I wouldn’t eat it a second time, but he insisted… he said the sheermal we had eaten the nihari with was stamped on by the shopkeepers feet. "Just don’t eat the sheermal." So I happily ate it again, sans sheermal, only to be poisoned again. My sisters smartly avoided the second serving. I survived, but when I returned five years later, he served us nihari again and this time, despite his legendary insistence, I had learned to say no (he blamed the sheermal again). But my father did not, and he was the victim for the third iteration of this dangerous nihari. I had never him sweat like that. But I laughed at Lutfi mamu’s belief in our stomachs ability to persevere and his belief in showing love through food. It was, after all, the best damn nihari ever. I don’t regret eating it twice.

Before Facebook was ubiquitous, I’d get completely random Skype calls from him. I always found it a bit strange, since the older generation rarely called me at that age. And even more interesting, he’d often be calling in bed, against a generic white painted wall. And I’d ask him if he was calling from Lahore, his home. And no, he’d be calling me from Zanzibar or somewhere else in East Africa his business took him. I didn’t even know his job took him there! But he called me to ask how I was doing, to update me on his life, to connect us. As a lot of Pakistanis know, oldest children are valued and when you’re a younger sibling, you can sometimes feel ignored. But I never felt that way with my mamu. Those calls were such intensely memorable experiences of an elder treating me as if I was worthy. That I was valuable to him. I don’t even remember what we talked about, but it stayed with me, that he decided I was worth calling.

I am better at reflecting on the dead than the living. But I would remiss also to not mention his four daughters who have always treated us with a lot of love and affection as well, a legacy they got from both their parents. And of course, I can’t forget to eulogize his wife, Anwar Mami, who I have such fond memories watching cricket and cooking pullao with. I remember she was very impressed I had taken the effort to learn the family dish and I don’t believe my cooking deserved the level of praise she gave me. But that’s just the way she was with me.

Back to the original thrust of this: Lutfi Mamu was not the first person to die recently. We have lost so many elders in the past few years, including Mamu’s older sister, Khalida Khala, who I don’t believe I wrote anything about because it felt so freakish as well, that one day my beloved Khala could be there, and then be gone to a medical complication. And the same with Mami jaan who died to a long battle with cancer, as did my mother and Nuzhat Usmani’s husband Salahuddin Khalu. And then, of course, things repeat themselves. And Lutfi mamu died to a complication, to a battle with recovery.

And I realize that these things are not freakish, they are not strange. They are the norm. It happened to my parents and they felt the loss of Panipat and it will happen to us and we will feel the loss of Pakistan. One day my generation and I will look around and we will be carrying the torch of the legacy of the family. For better or for worse, we all took something from our family. I don’t know that I valorize any family value besides loving the fuck out of your family, besides being there for people who need you, besides loving to share food. A lot of other stuff is negotiable and I don’t want to say that I think inherently being an Usmani is good.

But being a family who loves each other. Where a cousin’s child can grieve his mamoo, to feel truly and bitterly lost at losing another model of Usmanihood, of family, of loving…. That is what I believe we should hold on to. Because it’s easy to transition to new ways of living, of nuclear families and of individual needs over those of the many. But for me, that way lies a deep, painful loss. I don’t want to let that happen. Because ammi, my mamoo, my mami jaan, my khala, and all the others we lost would be intensely pissed to know that the family is not together. And a week in London with the family has me confident that we can make it work, but it requires humility and sacrifice. It requires calls from Zanzibar and force feeding nihari that makes you shit out your face and your ass because it comes with a moment of bliss.

After my mamoo’s funeral, I saw my niece Laila play with her cousins, who are my mom’s cousins grandchildren. And I hope in thirty years, when they all grow up, they’re still connected. Because we did the fucking work and made the calls.

EDIT: i keep editing this to add clarification, but i think at this point i need a new comment.

one, i am sure there are buzurgon i have forgotten to name. one major one i forgot is rehmat amma, who was truly and absolutely the legacy of my nani on this earth during my lifetime. and i am sorry if i have forgotten others, but i pray that all of their souls are at ease

two, one of the bitter contradictions about having a huge, closely knit family is that deep layers of sweet familiarity and love are also marked by constant, repetitive cycles of loss and death. it’s a hard, but i think ultimately useful perspective to have on life. death is ever-present, for each of us, and whether you turn to god for explanation or you use the loss to find balance, i believe it is useful to know that life is short and it ends and it ends and it ends. I wouldn’t trade that knowledge for anything.

Chiloe and its Migratory Birds

More than 20 migratory bird species come to Chiloe every year. Some come from the south, others from the north and still others from the Andes Mountains. Their favorite spots are coastal marshes like Pullao Wetlands and evergreen forests, where they build nests, rest and feed.

Migration occurs according to changes in climate, availability of food and reproductive needs. It is a seasonal cycle of comings and goings during which these birds seek to take advantage of favorable conditions in different areas.

Migratory birds can be classified into different groups based on their movements:

Boreal Migration: These species leave their nesting spots in the Arctic to travel thousands of kilometers south during the boreal winter. They even turn up in Tierra del Fuego, meaning they have flown from one side of the world to the other. The following birds from this category can be found in Chiloe:

Greater yellowlegs (tringa melanoleuca): This bird arrives from the Arctic to South America each summer. In Chiloe it is usually found alone or in small groups eating invertebrates in streams and along the shore in areas with protective plant cover.

Baird’s sandpiper (calidris bairdii): This frequent visitor arrives to Chiloe in the summer and moves along interior coasts in flocks of 10 to 20 birds. It can also be found along beaches on the open sea.

Eurasian whimbrel (numenius phaeopus): This is one of the most common migratory species during Chiloe summers. It is usually found alone when on the beach, while it prefers groups of hundreds in marshes. It travels from Alaska and Canada to Tierra del Fuego.

Hudsonian godwit  (limosa haemastica): This is the bird that escapes the boreal forest winter in the largest numbers to come Chiloe. The marshes on the eastern side of the archipelago are its main feeding grounds. An estimated 20% of the world population of Hudsonian godwits is found at Pullao Wetlands.

Western osprey (pandion haliaetus): This raptor arrives to Chiloe from the southern-central United States in search of fish especially from large inland rivers.

Ruddy turnstone (arenaria interpres): This is a beautiful, but scarce, Chiloe shorebird. These can be found in small flocks feeding near the water. If you are patient and lucky, you might see them turning over rocks to find their food.

Neotropical Migration: This group migrates from the southern United States, Mexico, Central America and northern South America. The following species can be found in Chiloe:

White-crested elaenia (elaenia albiceps): This is the only neotropical migratory species that nests in Chiloe during the summer. It arrives in October and leaves the archipelago in April to return to the Amazon in Brazil.

Black skimmer (rynchops niger): This bird arrives to Chile from the neotropics in October where it spreads out among the marshes of the Archipelago of Chiloe. It is known for leaving a showy wake as it forages in flight.

Austral Migration: This group includes the species that nest in the southern cone, especially in the region of Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. These birds migrate north during the fall and winter months. Birds of this type found in Chiloe are:

Two-banded plover (charadrius falklandicus): This small shorebird migrates from Tierra del Fuego to Chiloe during the winter. It then returns to extreme southern Chile to nest. Some groups stay in northern areas all year.

Rufous-chested plover (charadrius modestus): This is one of the most common visitors to the Chiloe coast in winter. It feeds in tidal flats, such as Pullao Wetlands, hunting for invertebrates during the low tide.

Silvery grebe (podiceps occipitalis): This small, water bird enjoys diving in the waters of the archipelago of Chiloe until October. In the winter, it nests in the freshwater lakes of Patagonia.

Chilean flamingo (phoenicopterus chilensis): This is definitely one of Chiloe’s most striking migratory birds. It arrives from the Patagonia pampa in autumn and stays until August when it heads back to its inland lake breeding areas.

Altitudinal migration: This group includes species that migrate from and toward the Andes Mountains, central valleys and the coast, where they feed before returning to their breeding areas at higher altitudes. The following species of this type can be found in Chiloe:

Dark-faced ground tyrant (muscisaxicola macloviana): This bird migrates during winter throughout Chile at different times and in varying directions. Then it returns to the foothills above the tree line for reproduction.

Grey-flanked cinclodes (cinclodes oustaleti): This bird is often found feeding in urban areas. It travels from the mountains to the coast during the winter and stays there between April and October.

Patagonia tyrant (colorhamphus parvirostris): This bird migrates from the wooded foothills in southern Chile to the north and sea-level forests to avoid the winter cold and snow. It stays in Chiloe until spring when it returns to its nesting grounds.

It is likely that you will see some of these migratory species during the excursions offered by Tierra Chiloé.  If you are interested in birdwatching, our guides are well trained to help you birdwatch in a way that is respectful toward the environment. Whether you are an expert or novice, this experience will connect you to nature in a very special way.

Exploring the Chiloe Islands in Chile

A land steeped in myth and legend, distinguished by its "Palafitos" or houses built on stilts, evergreen landscapes and enchanting hospitality, the Chiloe Archipelago in Chile is a magical place to visit.

Shaped by the meeting of the land with the sea, the culture of the people here includes innovative architectural techniques, delicious cuisine and mythology rooted in a mix of pre-Columbian religion and legends introduced by European immigrants from long ago.

Flora and Fauna of Chiloe

The variety of both endemic and introduced flora and fauna is so overwhelming, even Charles Darwin was taken aback on his visit here in 1834. Chiloé teems with lush plantlife across its many islands, flaunting Valdivian Forests made up of myrtle, oak, bamboo, hazelnut and cinnamon, to name just a few.

The diversity of these trees tells a story of natural evolution occurring on the islands, from the end of the ice age that gripped the region some 15,000 years ago, through to the colonial era whereby new species arrived on ships, right up to the present day. You can learn all about this horticultural intrigue first-hand on our informative excursions, whether discovering Bosquepiedra Private Park or hiking part of the Sendero de Chile.

In addition to the verdant forests, Chiloé is also home to around a dozen wetlands, including the Pullao Wetland, which is right next to the hotel. Recognized by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network as a ‘site of hemispheric importance’, this sanctuary serves as a vital habitat for an astounding array of wildlife, including the Hudsonian Godwit and the Whimbrel, both carefully protected migratory species.

You can also spot the Chilean Flamingo here, not to mention cormorants, ducks and gulls, all of which can be spotted during an excursion to the Pullao Wetland.

Elsewhere in Chiloé, you can get up close to an impressive variety of animal life, from rare marsupials, the Andean Antelope, Chiloé fox and colocolo cats on the land, to dolphins, black-necked swans and if you’re lucky, maybe even a whale. The archipelago really is a biodiverse haven for all kinds of wildlife.
