Partly Facetious : The challenge of arrogance
"Some professions breed arrogance."
"Are you referring to politicians? I mean you can't really fault them can you? In this country leaders can command their followers to literally become their doormats, attack police, attack the Supreme Court which reminds me of our aged still fiery senator whenever he is summoned to defend the family that gave him a senate seat, Mushahid Hussain..."
"Mushahid doesn't want too much, just a seat that would allow him to keep engaged in China Pakistan Economic Corridor and..."
"Agreed... there are a lot of others who are asking for a lot more. Anyway I appreciate the new leadership of the Nawaz League, I think..."
"Do you mean Thumbelina? I thought she is going into some sort of eye surgery, one eye is getting bigger than the other and..."
"Buzdar may not be allowed to take any decisions any more but he can take you to court for defamation..."
"Why? We all love Thumbelina and we pray to almighty that she finds her way to the best marriage possible..."
"Are you implying another party?"
"Good heavens no; anyway when I said I appreciate the PML-N's new leadership I was referring to Marriyum Aurangzeb - she has emerged as a good spokesperson for the party - she doesn't mince her words like her predecessor obsessed with Middlesex county in London used to, she is clear, succinct, willing to take blame where due and actually quite impressive!"
"I would agree anyway when I referred to some professions that breed arrogance I meant doctors. I have yet to meet a doctor who does not consider himself or herself as being A grade; even a hakeem considers himself topnotch..."
"What brought this on?"
"The incumbent Finance Minister stated that the economy was in ICU and his ministrations are responsible for taking it to the general ward..."
"And is the general ward full of terminally ill patients!"
"Don't be facetious. You just can't read Umar's writing, you know doctors are notorious for writing prescriptions that no one can read..."
"But as the proverb says the bills are neatly typewritten."
"Ha ha, that's our Asad Umar"
