On Sunday we had planned on getting up early and visiting a couple of places. Our ride was to first pick Irfan & Sajjad from their guesthouse in Kitintale and then come for Nasar and I around 9:45am. I was ready by 9:15 and decided to check-up on Nasar. I knocked his door - no response, I banged his door - no response, I kicked his door, no response! For a second I was worried. One of the housekeepers came up to check if everything was ok. I told him that I was trying to wake Nasar and there was no response. We went onto the joint balcony from my room and found that the window was open. I saw Nasar sleeping and shouted his name a dozen times to wake him up - NO RESPONSE!The housekeeper had an idea and went to get something long which could reach the bed and poke him. In the mean time I got three apples from the dinning room and threw them at him. Although two of them hit his shoulder, but I missed his head and he did not wake up.
The housekeeper brought back a wiper with expendable pipe. We got close enough to bang the headboard and poke the quilt... but nothing happened.
Somehow the housekeeper managed to open the balcony door to his room and I went into the room and shook the life (or sleep in this case) out of Nasar. After 25 mins of trying we finally managed to wake him up (but only because we got into the room). If you are planning to buy Nasar a birthday present (21st March), have a look at some of these alarm clocks which claim to wake everyone except the dead!
