"Buzdaar paida karna, Dr Sania Nishtar stated during the launch of The Khan's poverty alleviation programme Ehsaas..."
"Hey, hey stop."
"This is a serious topic and I have great respect for Dr Nishtar and need I add when she said...oh you don't understand Urdu then let me translate, she said to generate employment opportunities..."
"You didn't say that!"
"I am sorry! Are you trying to do a Khanzadeh on me? Insisting that your narrative is better than mine! And that you can interpret my words better than I who uttered them..."
"Don't get uptight. You didn't say rozgar as in employment you said Buzdaar as in the chief minister Punjab."
"Oh dear! I stand corrected. Poverty alleviation is not a new concept in this country - we have had such programmes for decades - some administrations referred to them as Peoples Programmes, others as prime minister's programmes and still others as..."
"Yeah, yeah I get it - it's not new, but one would still hope that The Khan succeeds where the others had limited success."

"Mark Twain said you can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."
"Oh so you reckon his imagination is in focus and I should let his eyes be?"
"You draw your own conclusions and I will draw mine."
"Doesn't matter in the end The Khan's will prevail."
