I usually visit this saloon for hair cut. It is quite a famous barbershop in DHA Lahore. After my hair cut was finished, I saw this guy sitting in the chair behind me. He had this whole straightening cream on his head and had his arm all strapped up. I recognized him and made sure its Asif before going towards him. Sorry for the roman urdu typing though.
me: Asif ?
Asif: ji?
me: oh tu yeh waqai aap hain. aap ki elbow ka kya haal hai?
Asif: Theek hee hai! (He was looking genuinely bothered about something)
me: Asif, team worldcup mai aapko bohut miss karegi aur saaray fans bhi.
Asif: Woh Gul aa gaya haina, inshaAllah acha perform karega.
me: Lagta hai aap ko shoaib bhai ko aur Gul ko aik saath bowling kertay kabhi
nahi dekh sakain gay hum log.
Asif: Nai inshaAllah zaroor.
me: Acha Asif bhai mai journalist tu hoon nahi, aap se pooch sakta hoon k sirf injury ka concern tha ya dope test ka bhi?
(Barber who was applying cream on his head, chuckled)
Asif: yar mera dope test clear ho jana thaa.
me: waqai?
Asif (grinning): haan ji. but injury dubara ho jati tu ICC nay mujhay replace nahi kernay dena tha Board ko. Pehlay hee mai itna lamba arsa khail gaya unn ki marzi k baghair. Board nay iss liye yeh decision liya hoga.
me: Hmm, Acha Asif bhai bus yeh k pehlay tu shayd semi final khail jaatay aap aur shoaib hotay tu magar ab tu itni umeed bhi nahi. oopar se Razzaq bhai bhi nahi hain.
Asif: nai ji inshaAllah Semi final khailain gay. aur Allah ki marzi hogi tu jeet ker aayain gay.
me: inshaAllah. Acha asif bhai aik picture le loon?
Asif: Iss haalat mai? choro yaar, log dar jayain gay.
me: Acha get well soon. aur thanks for your time.
