"Literature is lacking in proverbs on narrative."

"I don't get you."

"Most critical words have a proverb, but I couldn't find any proverbs for the word narrative."

"There are narrative proverbs, story-telling proverbs...."

"I meant narrative as a concept in Pakistani political thought, and making sure that the silent majority swallow a narrative hook, line and sinker......"

"Oh you mean The Khan's narrative as opposed to the Sharif narrative as opposed to the Bhutto Zardari narrative...."

"Well not the Sharif narrative, they are kinda quiet these days, but yes The Khan narrative and the Bhutto Zardari narrative and..."

"In Pakistani politics even having no narrative is a narrative."

"I guess anyway the Bhutto Zardari recent narrative, to offer the same number of cabinet seats to the MQM if they dump The Khan and...."

"The MQM is very wily, I mean there is no way in hell, and that's a proverb, anyway there is no way in hell that a PPP government will agree to a Law Minister from the MQM, the list of lawyers aspiring to that position who have been serving Sindh Family Number One for decades without taking any remuneration and..."

"It's not as if Farogh Naseem has shown any competence as a minister though as a lawyer he was very good and..."

"You need to correct your narrative, a Pakistani lawyer in politics makes money as and when his party can take decisions on shall we say various matters while all a minister needs is support of the prime minister and viola he doesn't need to work or anything....."

"I get it."

"Before you go I want to propose a proverb on narrative: swallow my narrative or say goodbye to all that you value."

"That's when you are in government, what about when in opposition."

"Don't swallow the government narrative swallow mine."

"Ha ha that's true."
