"So another one with a six-month itch?"
"Sorry?"
"There is another one with a six-month itch."
"I had heard of a one year itch and then I know of a nine-month itch but never six-month itch."
"Let me guess: the nine-month itch reflects the time for a human child's delivery..."
"Itch? Human child?"
"Well, you know in this Islamic Republic some itches generate inhuman results... the murder of 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan while his murderer Shahrukh Jatoi's arrogance during his court appearances when he showed the victory sign to the waiting media was simply appalling - simply no remorse."
"Money talks everywhere."
"True, but it doesn't talk in murder cases in other countries - public anger..."
"Public anger here too accounts for no updates for over a year on that case and I bet he will be quietly released and sent out of the country by his wealthy father and..."
"There was a settlement wasn't there with the victim's family?"
"Yes, and if I recall correctly the court ruled that the junior Jatoi's act of murder was against society thereby the victim's family alone could not guarantee his release..."
"So another Raymond Davis was not born..."
"Raymond Davis had the might of his country behind him while Jatoi has the might of his father's wealth behind him. But anyway the one year itch refers to Raja Rental who wanted to end load shedding within 12 months."
"Hey, you didn't let him do what he wanted to do: put up all the rental power projects..."
"At what cost to us?"
"It's not as if the Sharifs are following the public procurement rules... anyway the six-month itch was Shahbaz Sharif's deadline for ending loadshedding."
"And turning Pakistan cricket is Miandad's."
"And ne'er the two shall succeed."
"Agreed, better to stick to what they are good at..."
"Ah, but arrogance takes us into areas where we are not good at."
