"You know I recently returned from vacationing in the West and noticed two major differences between them and us."
"Them and us? Those are certainly words of conflict..."
"Hey, would you be serious."
"OK, but you noticed only two differences? OK, OK let me take a guess...the ongoing Sharif development agenda, with the focus on roads, is contributing to smog, pollution, and major health issues..."
"And the Sharifs would say that your analysis is in synch with the phrase damned if they do and damned if they don't."
"Oh, I thought the First Family's actions were more in synch with the proverb people take more pains to be damned than to be saved."
"Is this about Panama again? I thought Maryam Nawaz clearly and unambiguously informed people like you that the storm is over."
"Oh, OK, I stand corrected, anyway that was not the difference I noted between the West and Pakistan."
"Hey wait, let me guess... as you land back home the lights are all out in stark contrast to the West and Middle Eastern capitals, Mian sahib no disrespect intended to all your claims on the electronic media paid for by the taxpayers money that the dark days are over and....."
"Hey, he is the elected Prime Minister, and has the right to use public money as he deems appropriate."
"I guess, but anyway I would like to request him to make two changes in the way we are governed, to bring us in synch with what happens in Western democracies. First not to use public money to project any member of the executive that would necessitate doing away with the Ministry of Information, I don't mean doing away with the media cell..."
"In your dreams! And need I add Aurengzeb is growing into the job and reminds me of the PPP lady who was given the job during the PPP tenure till Kaira succeeded in wrenching it away from her..."
"Growing into the job?"
"Enhancing her eye candy status with each passing day."
"Don't be facetious."
"Anyway I would request Mian sahib to abandon the practice of inaugurating mega projects funded by the taxpayers and then delivering a political speech..."
"But..."
"Use public money for development projects but not to project any member of the executive..."
"Just because you did not vote for Mian sahib..."
"Hey, this should be for all times to come."
"Nothing in politics is for all times to come. Even the constitution can be amended, so say all the politicians."
"I stand corrected again."
