So what's up?
Nothing new.
Am referring to the promotions in uniforms.
Oh!
Are they not expected?
No, they were.
But what else is expected is yet to be announced.
Meaning?
Come on!
Every citizen knows that!
R u referring to the big announcement expected in December 2004.
No!
Then u may be referring to the Prime Minister's remarks on the issue?
No!
That reminds me of the picture of our Prime Minister and his teacher printed on front pages of the leading newspapers.
My dear, the teachers should be thankful to the World Teachers' Day.
Come on, we have localised it with the name "Salaam Teacher"
True!
But I wish we do something concrete for the welfare of teachers serving in public sector.
It reminds me the death of a professor in Karachi who was found dead along with his wife waiting for the pension to be released.
Ya, very tragic, but I was not referring to that my friend.
Ok, u may be referring to the showdown of Qazi Saheb at Azakel, Nowshera, NWFP.
No!
R u referring to the meeting of Sindh Chief Minister with Pir Pagara?
No!
Will u be kind enough to talk simple?
Ok! Am referring to the issue of retaining uniform in the interest of the ................
Please don't say.... .in the interest of democracy.
Ok! Would u allow me to say ...in the interest of engineered democracy?
Look! U should look beyond what is seen by a layman.
What?
Am a layman and can only see through my own eyes.
Ok! Do u know that our 'beloved' President Gen. Musharraf has been nominated for Noble Prize?
Noble Prize for peace?
Great!
The Noble Peace Prize Laureate 2004 will be announced in October 2004, and the final list includes the names of Mr Musharraf and Mr. Vajpai.
Great!
It appears they have changed the criteria for selection.
Meaning?
They have nominated a serving army general from Pakistan .............
True! and the head of a very hard-liner Hindu party from India.
True!
Look, if Musharraf wins then he will be the first instance where a serving army general becomes the recipient of this prestigious award.
Great!
May be President Musharraf is the first general who had worked for initiating peace process.............
And Vajpai the first hard-liner Hindu leader for responding in positive manner.
So the peace process is on going.
No doubt , with the bomb blasts becoming routine.
Ya, it is so tragic.
True!
Sialkot was followed by Multan.
True.
And Quetta had a bike bomb.
Meaning?
The terrorism is coming down from planes to cars and now bikes.
It is so tragic; the government must be planning something to address this issue.
Why not?
Ya, am waiting for the announcement impatiently.
Announcement from Islamabad or the Stockholm?
U know better.
