Saqi bhai’s classic off-spin, Chaman’s ice cream - an evening well spent in the cricketing heart of Lahore
The HinduOn a cold Wednesday night, we waited patiently outside Chaman, the iconic ice cream parlour of Laxmi Chowk. “ Teen pistachio…” Saqlain ordered, before adding with a smile, “ yeh sabse badiya hai inke. Hum bachpan se khaa rahein isse.” As he talked about his years growing up on the busy streets of Lahore, Saqlain pointed towards a ground and said, “This is where it all started. That was an integral part of our childhood - gully cricket,” Saqlain told Sportstar, adding: “When you grow up, you miss those days…” The former star spinner, indeed, was missing those days. “Those were wonderful days and with a bunch of extremely talented cricketers along with some of the biggest names of the game, it was indeed a huge learning for all of us.” As we drove past several old buildings, Saqlain pointed towards a serpentine lane.
