Al Khan.

A khan saab works as an assistant at my local grocery store. Bearing all the other qualities of being a pathan, he also just loves to talk and not listen. I usually try to avoid him as it takes me twice the time to do my grocery if he is the helping hand.

A few days back i went to the store for the morning bread. I saw Khan standing close the bread aisle with a red nose. It seemed that Khan wasn't well so i asked him how he was.

(try and think khan talking in the usual pathan accent)

me: "kia hoa khan? tabeeyat kharab hai kia"
Khan: "yar kia bataey halat bohot kharab hai"

me: kia ho gaya?
khan: "lamba story hai....kal raat hum ko jaldi sona ta aur hum ko hamary sar main darad ta. naaak bi band ta. Hum bot pareshan ta"

and he continued...

"hamara dost nay bola sar aur naak par balm lagao. Abhi hum patahan hai na kia karay, darad par itna gussa aaya k hum nay naak k andar balm laga dia"

me: "phir??"
khan: "bus phir poori raat hum so nahin saka! Pathan hai na kia karay!"


Yes he was right, "Pathan hai na kia karay!"
