PARTLY FACETIOUS: Amrish Puri and Rana Sanaullah

04 Feb, 2017

"So who is the Pakistani Trump?"
"I don't get the comparison...I mean Trump is a real estate magnate and has businesses all over the world and..."
"We have one real estate tycoon who is so far ahead of other real estate tycoons but he has yet to come into active politics..."
"Active politics?"
"In Pakistan, there are those who are active in politics and those who are passive in politics... and by passive I mean they engage with those who are active in politics..."
"And that doesn't happen in America and more particularly in Trump's America?"
"Good point, but anyway as you know Rana Sanaullah said Imran Khan is our Trump..."
"Need I add, the Indian actor Amrish Puri tried to imitate our Rana, you remember his role as the Rana - the villain...?"
"Did you know Amrish Puri was born in Lahore?"
"I heard he was born in Jalandhar which, like Lahore, is also in Punjab and our Rana is also from Punjab though not Lahore but Faisalabad."
"Hey, I am from Punjab as well - we are not all villains you know."
"Hmmm."
"And there is an entire range of notables from Punjab - we have Mian sahib, our prime minister..."
"Mian sahib is from Kashmir not Punjab and may I request our Prime Minister to rationalise his views vis-a-vis the Western media - he repeatedly cites news reports, few and far between, that appear in the Western media that maintain that our economy is improving while refusing to cite those same journals accusing him of money laundering and the owner of very expensive property in London and..."
"That's all the fault of Dar, The Approver. And maybe Mian sahib needs to revisit his unmitigated support for Dar..."
"You are so predictable: all roads do not lead to Dar."
"The road to heavy indebtedness certainly does and need I add the Panama case hearing road is also increasingly leading..."
"Oh, shush."
