"There is a conflict I reckon."

"I don't think these conflicts are relevant anymore - The Khan's cabinet mainly consists of those who were also in previous cabinets and the rationale is that they are experienced and..."

"Well, whoop deedoo... Ijaz Shah has the capital under lockdown weeks before the azadi march which may or may not take place, and The Khan's protocol now means a wait of 45 minutes on average for us..."

"Why doesn't he take Chaudhry Nisar as the Interior Minister; when he was Interior Minister, protocol wait was no more than 5 minutes, eight maximum...."

"Chaudhry sahib has refused to join The Khan...anyway you are right, the inexperienced got the boot, Asad Umar replaced by the experienced non-performer Hafeez Sheikh..."

"The Khan's mantra: it's preferable to have an experienced non performer than a non experienced non performer."

"Don't be facetious."

"As privatisation minister the three main entities that were privatized during Sheikh's tenure were highly, not a little, but highly controversial, with one owing the government 800 million dollars to this day because the government did not give possession of all properties, and another is marked by..."

"Don't be unfair, I would have you know when Sheikh's underlings told him that all properties could not be handed over because they were not in the possession of the entity it was noon, the time of his three hour siesta..."

"Don't be facetious; anyway when Sheikh left the finance portfolio the next government was forced to go on an International Monetary Fund programme and..."

"Dear me, anyway the conflict I was talking about has nothing to do with appointments, just with The Khan himself."

"Hafeez Sheikh may become The Khan's Dar - the man who single-handedly disenchanted not the PML-N die hard support base but the seasonals and by seasonals I mean those who change their votes from one election to the next."

"And seasonals are veering back towards the status quo parties I heard! Anyway when I said conflict I was simply referring to The Khan wearing his lucky blue shalwaar kameez on all foreign trips..."

"Ah what a far cry from his Brown Sahib days when he looked smart in Western suits and that over coat was a killer, I mean in this country over coats are not worn and that in itself..."

"Focus on the now! What I meant by conflict was that The Khan wears Pakistani clothes wherever he goes, which I support, but then proceeds to talk in English, why?"

"Good point, did Nawaz Sharif always speak in English when abroad - whether he was in a sherwani or Western suit?"

"Yes he did."

"So tell The Khan that and he may change to Urdu then."

"Which age group are you talking about! Teenagers?"

"Sometime I do think so."
