Do I know you from somewhere?

Finally, I get time to come down here and post a recent incident. Its the night before Eid day, 'chand raat' as it is called in some parts of the world. I get a phone call from a fellow country man whom I didn't really know by name but had met a few times. As I answer the phone he explains to me who he is and I have a feeling that I have identified that person in my head but am not really sure. Still I assure him that I recognize him and will wait for him outside the building while going for the Eid prayer the next morning, as this is what he was calling for. I feel bad about it, that some guy who knows me calls me and I can't even identify him. The next morning as I am about to leave my apartment, my phone rings and its him again. I answer as if we are pretty good friends and I tell him that I will be down in 5 minutes. I come downstairs accompanied by three other friends who share the apartment with me and we shake hands with this guy. I ask him shall we leave and guess what does he say? He says that he's waiting for Shahzad bhai who is coming down in 5 minutes. I look at the sky and burst into laughter. I tell him that its me, I am Shahzad bhai. He smiles as the awkward moment passes.
