i went to Quetta via the same Jaffar express back in 2009. I was accompanied by a cousin and we only a single suit with us and nothing more. the cabin was shared with 3 other people two of them were from Balochistan and 1 was punjabi. The journey passed with small chit chat. One balochi was at a good post in Bank of Punjab and my cousin was the legal advisor to BOP at that time.
the chat was fun. Politics was also discussed but not in detail.
All 3 had come with full preparation and they took out their blankets etc when the night approached. we were looking at their faces like fools and getting jealous too. soon as the night approached, the A/C developed some fault and stopped functioning. lolzzzzzzzzzz
even the fans stopped working. anyways, morning brought some fun again. we ate different things which the boys brought at every station in Balochistan.
Had fun in Quetta and we had a tour through the city. at night, our host took us on a deserted road and said, bhai pata hay ye konsa road hy. i asked konsa road hy
he said, bhai ye wo road hy jahan kisi punjabi ko 4 bottle sharab pila k bhi aane ko kaho to wo nhi aata. ye zaryab road hy.
my cousin said, khan sb, aap ko hum zinda ache nahi lg rahe? kyu laaye ho idher? lol
he said bhai jo raat tmhara qabar main hy wo bahir to nhi ho skta.
