Partly Facetious: Imran is relatively quiet these days?

"Change is already here. And this is courtesy the Khan...."
Published December 19, 2015

"Change is already here. And this is courtesy the Khan...."
"I don't understand.... the Khan is relatively quiet these days but there has been some change as reflected by the resolution passed by the Sindh Assembly..."
"And that is precisely where I maintain there has been a visible change."
"What? Playing the Sindh card...."
"Oh no, no, no, not that. I meant the Captain of the Sindh operation has decided to take over command and..."
"Not Sindh, Karachi operation."
"OK Karachi operation but the captain, so publicly acknowledged by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Interior and the Rangers, has been empowered by his party to become the captain in letter and spirit."
"So that's the change you were referring to? Spirit?"
"Hey we are all going to go to the spirit world eventually, some sooner than others and...."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway for me change would be the acceptance by our military leadership of the leadership role by the civilian dispensation and..."
"I am not sure about that, the outcome of the resolution is not yet known and the summary has been sent to the Ministry of Interior for..."
"Hey you are getting too technical for me. All I meant was that while a captain of a cricket team is the king on the field though in recent days the man who shall remain nameless has taken some decisions that have brought us closer to Zimbabwe and..."
"Why does he remain nameless?"
"Because my friend the office you hold should be better than the one held before and a CM always trumps a decision maker at the cricket board."
"Promotion isn't everything...."
"Granted but anyway going back to change courtesy the Khan he was ready to accept the epithet of captain of his party because he had been the captain of our cricket team but in the military a captain is a relatively junior office and young while the Qaim, the Steadfast, maybe junior in the party hierarchy but is certainly not young...."
"Fifty percent is a good percentage."
"Glass half full hunh!"
"Right though it may be completely empty in days to come."
