Partly Facetious: Mian sahib independently wealthy

24 Sep, 2016

"So what now, that is after the UN speech?"
"Shopping for ties I hear."
"I would have you know that Mian sahib is independently wealthy and if he wants to buy ties at Times Square then what's it to you!"
"It's nothing to me, just that Times Square is New York's Theatre District, I wasn't aware that it was a place for high end shopping... that would be Fifth Avenue, see Fifth Avenue is to New York what Knightsbridge is to London - Knightsbridge where Mian sahib's children own a flat and..."
"Oh shush... you obviously do not know London well... when I asked you what next after the UN speech I merely wanted to know what follow up and meetings with world leaders are scheduled and..."
"Mian sahib gave the dossier of Indian atrocities in Kashmir to Ban Ki-moon though I am not sure if it's the Ki or Ka in Mr Moon's m idle initial and...?"
"Don't be facetious and would you stop watching Indian movies, you know relations between the two countries are at the lowest ebb, besides isn't Moon retiring this...was it November or December?"
"Don't be facetious. And I would have you know I am not going to act like a Hindu fundamentalist."
"Would you rather act as a Muslim fundamentalist?"
"Ha ha that's a good one but you have to grant that Main sahib's speech was a good one."
"With the exception of some excerpts reportedly included on the say-so of Dar the Darling."
"I don't get it."
"The Prime Minister in his address referred to Pakistan's contribution to the global economy."
"I don't recall that statement but I ask you how much of wealth owned by Pakistanis is stashed abroad? Over 200 billion dollars we are told. And how much real estate is held by Pakistanis abroad? In billions of dollars and..."
"And you cannot undermine the contribution of the Prime Minister and his family, including his family by virtue of marriage of his children, to fuelling the global economy."
"Oh can it."
