"I think he is gaining weight."
"Who is gaining weight? It's certainly not Shahbaz Sharif and it's not Imran Khan and neither is it Asif Ali Zardari."
"For your information Zardari sahib trumps the other two and I would have taken his name first."
"Why? You reckon he is the heaviest?"
"No, that's not the reason and you know it."
"You reckon it is because he is naturally slim, I mean one never hears of Zardari sahib exercising to keep fit like The Khan does every day; or gets his exercise by not sitting in one place - going from one end of Punjab to the other every day and I am referring to Shahbaz Sharif."
"Nope, that ain't the reason either. It's because he is a former President while the other two have held junior positions."
"Technically Shahbaz Sharif holds a more powerful position, but anyway, let me take one more guess. Is it because Zardari sahib has more protocol then the other two?"
"That's a good point. Zardari sahib gets the same number of vehicles accompanying him wherever he goes as deposed leader Nawaz Sharif but only in Sindh. In the other provinces I haven't seen 40 to 50 cars behind Zardari sahib."
"You know I don't understand this at all! Protocol is supposedly provided to these men because they have security threats against them, but why is Nawaz Sharif and Zardari sahib always in the lead car. I mean shouldn't they be somewhere in the middle of the convoy so that anyone who may want to target them doesn't know which car..."
"It's against these leaders prestige to be anywhere but in the front car."
"Are you being facetious?"
"Hmmm, but anyway when I said he is gaining weight I was referring to none of the three main leaders. I was referring to Nawaz Sharif. And I don't mean it in a negative way."
"But Nawaz Sharif is the main man, and he will remain the main man forever and ever - didn't you hear Shahbaz Sharif's speech?"
"In politics, I don't go by the written word as much as by body language. You reckon Nawaz Sharif is gaining weight because he has more free time to eat?"
"No, because worry does not mean more curry."
"It does for some. But what is this with the rhyming - I hope you are not considering becoming a poet because you really suck at it."
"My heart is broken and the word spoken..."
"Oh I give up."
