Partly Facetious: Altaf Bhai's ordeal

"Altaf bhai sleeps for only two to three hours per day."
Published May 24, 2013

"Altaf bhai sleeps for only two to three hours per day."
"I know someone who hasn't slept for four to five months, I tell you there is no cure for insomnia and those who suffer form it are always tired and listless."
"What are you? A PTI supporter?"
"Good heavens! Where did that come from?"
"Altaf bhai sleeps so little because he is working you idiot and not because he suffers from insomnia."
"Oh I am sorry, I didn't realise your intent was to inform me of that. But you know sleeping little has nothing to do with the amount of work you can do. I mean Bush reportedly gave the order to attack Afghanistan where thousands would die, American and Afghan civilians, and then went and slept like a baby."
"And why do you mention that?"
"Oh please do not take it amiss, all I want to say is that some people work better after sleep, some before sleep, I work better on an empty stomach..."
"I give up."
"You know when Clinton was facing charges by Monica Lewinsky I remember one of the Clinton aides said on television that he slept like a baby. And he explained that as babies do he got up every hour on the hour and cried."
"Oh for the Clinton days."
"You mean when there were no drone strikes?"
"No when we had electricity in this country and load shedding was only during extreme summer months and that too not for long."
"Clinton had nothing to do with that."
"True but one makes associations you know, and not only in politics. I mean when I think of PPP I think Bhutto and Benazir and now Asif Zardari sahib."
"He is still the President."
"I know but I am just practising substituting President with sahib."
"If its easier you can practice saying former President."
"But you know if Mian sahib makes him the president for another five years then I am sure the PPP will support him during the next five years."
"Hey that's an idea but a facetious one!"
