"Words are relative."
"So?"
"Well, I am just saying, I mean the word rich is relative - for me someone with a couple of million is rich, while for a labourer, someone with a couple of hundred thousand is rich and..."
"And for Brothers Sharif?"
"I would imagine billions and that too in dollars."
"For the Zardari clan?"
"Same as the Sharifs I reckon."
"And for the Bhutto-Zardaris?"
"If you think you can create a wedge between father and children especially when the mum is no longer a source of guidance you have another think coming."
"I just wanted to highlight the fact that the output of a marriage is a merger and it is not the same as before the fusion."
"I see, but then gender neutrality would require the same treatment to those mothers whose name is not that prominent politically."
"Fair enough, I am all for gender equality - anyway what I wanted to highlight was the relative nature of the word high powered."

"Well, he is the Prime Minister, the chief executive, the..."
"Right, but why insist on it being a high powered committee just because he is the chair?"
"Ah I see where you are going with this. I guess he was referring to a non cabinet member and a non..."
"Oh dear! Please give up your conspiracy theories. All is well in this land of the pure. We have democracy and..."
"No one is being allowed to talk in parliament."
"So? As long as the parliament is not dissolved..."
"Don't be facetious."
