Partly Facetious: Economy has taken off?

"You know I think Pakistan is not the place to celebrate Eid."
Published September 29, 2015

"You know I think Pakistan is not the place to celebrate Eid."
"Of course it is - you have to be home to enjoy this holiday and..."
"But the Prime Minister has not celebrated Eid in this country since God knows when."
"Ah yes, but just to correct you he has homes in Saudi Arabia and in London and before you say anything let me tell you that Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated by the Sharif family and samdhi praying in Islam's holiest cities..."
"Praying for completing his tenure and... why are you laughing?"
"Mian sahib is praying for not only the completion of the current term but has a Vision 2040!"
"Why 2040? Ahsan Iqbal has Vision 2020 so you meant Mian sahib's Vision 2040?"
"No silly, if you are the boss then the vision has to be at least double..."
"Don't be facetious but anyway Mian sahib is praying for the nation, or so we are told..."
"Praying for what? That somehow his ministers begin to deliver - I mean it's been two and a half years and..."
"Don't be stupid - Mian sahib thinks his ministers have already delivered thank you very much."
"Ah yes, especially the economy has taken off Masha'Allah!"
"How? Borrowing to show reserves is hardly..."
"Oh shush...our economy has taken off in Dubai and Switzerland and. Those stupid people who booed him in a New York mosque and didn't let him pray are PTI hooligans..."
"Taken off in Dubai and Switzerland? And Dar has never been booed in this country and..."
"That's because he never goes where the common people are in this country, anyway $200 billion of Pakistani money is in Dubai real estate and another $200 billion of Pakistani money is banked in Switzerland so our economy has taken off in the two countries hasn't it!"
"Three heads of three political leaders celebrated Eid outside the country..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Even the cricket team left one day before Eid and God bless the Zimbabweans!"
"That's because the power behind that throne who shall remain nameless consorts with politicians and has developed some of their practices if you will..."
"There is one difference between the power behind the cricket throne and his selector: the former celebrated Eid on the same day as the rest of us while his boos has been celebrating Eid a day earlier."
"It's these Ruet-e-Hilal Committee members whose eyesight is failing and..."
"Don't be facetious, anyway Mian sahib celebrated Eid the same day as the Khan's KPK..."
"So he could get votes on that count right? I mean the Khan celebrates it with the rest of the country while..."
"Don't be facetious."
