"I am extremely depressed."
"I know and you are not alone, nothing seems to be working here."
"Aren't you used to it by now, I mean you have had a number of years of this and still you complain."
"But no gas and electricity..."
"You should be used to these deficiencies by now! I had heard that man is extremely adaptable to whatever circumstances he may be compelled to face. Haven't you heard stories of survival in sub-Arctic temperatures and in the face of a lion pride's attack and in a plane crash?"
"I am not a man."
"By man I meant mankind, and that my friend includes women and children and khawaja serahs and..."
"I was being facetious, anyway I am still not used to the deficiencies in social and..."
"Then you need some serious psychiatric treatment."
"I am not going to vote for the current lot."
"There my friend you may be the exception - didn't you see the bye-election results in Sindh a while ago and the results of bye-elections that took place two days ago?"
"OK I accept I alone won't make a difference but given sufficient time I am sure our electorate would vote on the basis of performance."
"Not in our lifetime."
"How can you say that?"
"Education outlay is the lowest ever my friend and unemployment is high and rising; and as you and I know we need an educated employed people who would vote on the basis of performance."
"You are no fun to talk to."
"Not today, I am depressed as I said earlier."
"So, if the state of the Pakistani union does not disturb you then what does? Not Rehman Malik's last minute decision not to attend the specially scheduled Balochistan assembly session at a cost to the exchequer to brief the members on the law and order situation..."
"Does Malik control Balochistan?"
"Raisani is a PPP man."
"OK, but you know I was depressed because Angelina Jolie has decided to quit acting, I really like her."
"Why would you care?"
"Why not? She gave more money to our flood victims than wealthy people in our federal and provincial assemblies."
