"Did you see the photograph?"
"Would you give it up please! Our President has put up the Quaid's picture on the wall of the Presidency and please don't begrudge him his wife's photograph on the wall as well - he is after all where he is today because of her and this is the only way that he can give her a vote of thanks."
"He has his own picture up there too...I would like to suggest to him that he must wait till his son is the occupant of the Presidency and get him to put his dad's picture up. I don't know of many who would have their own picture up on their wall!" "It's a small indulgence - let him be."
"OK but I wasn't referring to the President's picture I was referring to our Prime Minister's picture carried by the media."
"His handshaking with Manmohan Singh - but you did hear what Singh said in his meeting with the French President."
"Yes I did but that wasn't the picture I was referring to. I was actually referring to the group photo of world leaders posing with Barack Obama."
"What about it? Gilani is very much there, OK so he is not in the front row with Obama but he is in the third row."
"Third out of four rows is not bad I agree but how many world leaders have a moustache!"
"Hey don't pick on our Prime Minister! There was one world leader who was wearing a hat and a beard!"
"Ah but the beard was a Mormon beard, not the beard of a Muslim!"
"Don't be facetious, the days of Muslims getting searched at airports are over. And between you and I let me inform you that I have it on very good authority that the PM's delegation was not checked at all when he entered the US. This, I was informed, was unprecedented. Even Musharraf's delegation was searched thoroughly on entry to the US."
"Ah a Gilani specific achievement - may this be the first of many."
"Amen."
