"I don't understand."
"You would have to narrow it down....there is so much happening that none of us understands."
"For example?"
"For example the appallingly flawed budget that has raised expenditure and I reckon the envisaged rise in revenue is unrealistic."
"Oh dear!"
"And the rise of one percent in GST on top of the rise in the electricity rates is going to beggar thousands of families."
"Ah but Dar has the answer to that: micro finance and income support programmes and..."
"Perhaps Dar was being facetious."
"The guy doesn't have a funny bone in his body."
"I hear Nawaz Sharif likes a good joke."
"So?"
"So how can he have someone like him around who has no sense of humour?"
"Its all about priorities, Nawaz likes good food, good company and I don't think any member of his cabinet qualifies except perhaps one...."
"Ooh I know where you are going with this and you are just lucky that Rehman Malik is not the Interior Minister or else he would have decreed lashing for such statements."
"Don't be facetious."
"What else is left to us! When I said I don't understand I was referring actually to the Taliban, I mean the PPP, ANP and MQM accused the Taliban of gunning for them which disabled them from canvassing for the 11 May elections and once the parties of choice, or so we were told, came to power, the terror attacks have escalated manifold. So where is the logic?"
"Reminds me of Rehman Malik eating an apple while brazenly announcing on the electronic media that he is eating a banana; make that of it what you will was Malik's attitude as long as you give me footage."
"He misses the pre-16 March days I am told, and the prerogatives of being in power!"
