Waise yeh sirf is ki khami nahi hai, yeh menay notice kiya hai yeh shoudapaan humari 90% Pakistan qoum mein hai. Recently I was talking to someone for the 1st time and within a 10 min conversation, without asking or any prompting from my side, mausoof ne koi 10 baar zikar kiya ke woh doctor hain. And this happens on a regular basis and the expected response is, you go oh wow acha and then the person starts off on a train of self praise for the next 1 hour.
I have discovered an easy way to shut down such conversations, just ignore it when brought up or at best go Oh Acha and then carry on the conversation, or just take the talk in some other direction. The guy will try at least a few more times, so he gets a chance to talk about himself, but as before just ignore it ! (bigsmile)
