Am worried
Why?
Are you not?
No! May I ask why should I be worried?
Ya, u may!
Actually, I don't see anything not to worry about!
Meaning?
Nothing!
Just that, there are so many things to worry about!
Are u worried about social issues crept up after the tragic tsunami?
No! not only that,
Wherever u see, Iraq, Palatine, Afghanistan Chechnya etc on international front and......
And what?
And on domestic front there are.......
True, true! That's the reason my friend, I opted not to worry at all!
Great!
No!
U did not get it right.
Look! I have to live in this country and this world and should develop some immunity to survive and live on a peaceful life amid all the worriable things happening around.
What a great idea!
No doubt, that's why I try to practise it. By the way what makes u worry this time?
Am worried about Balochistan.
After remaining tense for Wana people for months
Did it made any difference to anyone?
No!
Tell me the truth. Had u not been worried about the casualties faced by the civilians there?
By the way, u were talking about Balochistan not Wana this time.
Ya!
The Railway authorities have stopped night train service across the Balochistan.
What for, I mean why?
After repeated attacks by the Balochistan Liberation Army.
What?
My dear, these r the real hard facts, should be worried about and taken care of before they become...........
Before what?
Before they become real harsh facts!
Very bad for the common people living there.
Ya!
A powerful bomb blew up a section of rail track near Sibi, 100 km south-east of Quetta.
Any causality reported?
Do u really believe what is reported in respect of civilian casualties?
Come on!
Why can't u focus on positive things?
Such as?
The President is keen to promote LG system.
Good
Pakistan, India to discuss trade.
Really?
Ya, commerce secretaries of Pakistan and India will discuss reports of study groups for removing tariff and non tariff barriers particularly in the Indian import regime during a meeting being held on February 22-23 in New Delhi.
What about Baglihar Dam?
Come on!
The ex-general, now the ambassador to the USA is likely to meet World Bank President at the bank's headquarters in Washington on Wednesday.
What?
An ex-general to discuss a political issue with a finance person.
Come on!
The generals have proved that they can perform better than people trained for Foreign Service and...............
And?
And finance people can be good enough to be politicians.
So to say............
Hope for the best.
