Partly Facetious: Why I have become a nawala again?
"I have transitioned yet again."
"Transitioned into what?"
"Transitioned into a nawala."
"I thought you used to be a jiyala at one time. Did you end your support of the party because Zardari sahib took away what he gave to his only son? The co-chairmanship as well as the gaddi of the Zardari clan..."
"Well, he made him patron of the party. Not even patron-in-chief."
"That's Mian sahib with respect to the cricket board and God bless Mian sahib's clipped action pace - the work there is almost complete."
"I thought there are many, many problems..."
"The work of complete destruction is near completion and I base that on the team's performance with some individuals playing well."
"Don't be facetious anyway after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto I transitioned into a Zardi, or a Zardari supporter, and God Bless Zardari sahib but after five years of his rule I became a Nawaz supporter so I became a nawala."
"And then?"
"And then just twelve months of being a nawala I decided to transition into a Khanzadah."
"Right, but I don't think his choice of second wife..."
"Oh, for Pete's sake Khanzadahs are not as shallow as all that."
"I wouldn't use the word shallow."
"OK, so granted that personal decisions do impact on politics yet the reason why I have become a nawala again is because each subsequent government that we have had is worse than the last and so I think bad as it is these days maybe Khan would be worse."
"Khan is not corrupt, he set up a much respected institution namely the Shaukat Khanum hospital and brought the cricket team together for the first time in history and..."
"Yes, but he has never ruled so I am not sure he can bring down corruption in the federal government, running one institution that you set up is not the same as running the federal government and keeping 11 men together is not the same as an entire parliament for which he has shown no inclination yet."
"Right, but..."
"But my ace in the whole argument is does corruption beat incompetence. Zardari sahib's government was more corrupt than Nawaz Sharif's and yet I am worse off today than in 2013."
"You are being facetious."
"Nope, pragmatic... long live Nawaz Sharif!"
