Irfan, what have you achieved in life to be asking that sir?

I've heard some stories about you from Zaheer. Really you should be a bit more gracious to a son of Pakistan.

Cheers, Doc

He was a radio cricket commentator alongside legend commentator Omar qureshi, was pretty famous in 60s, 70s and 80s. Unfortunately Tribune and Dawn due to their agenda have ignored many stalwarts and icons of Pakistan. If they had given even 50% of coverage they gave to Dr. Abdus Salam to the Pakistan's achievers of yesteryears you might have understood his accomplishments.
