"He he he."
"What are you so smug about?"
"The First Daughter has wisely changed the constituency from NA 125, where Dr Yasmin Rashid of The Khan's party has emerged as a formidable opponent since 2013 elections, to NA 127 which is going to be a piece of cake."
"Well, that's checkmate Uncle Shahbaz, though you have to admit Maryam Nawaz was honest - said daddy talked to those who awarded her the NA 125 ticket and her name was finalized for NA 127."
"Yep, daddy is the final authority I reckon still, but for how long. Anyway, she checkmated Uncle Shahbaz twice on Wednesday. She called up this young boy whose father was awarded the MN ticket to contest against Chaudhry Nisar and who is in jail at present and she told him to begin the campaign for his dad..."
"It's not MN my dear its NA National Assembly."
"MN strands for Maryam Nawaz ticket, and SS for Shahbaz Sharif-awarded ticket and in one stroke two MN tickets replaced two SS tickets."
"OK, but I still want to express my sympathies with Maryam Nawaz."
"The entire nation feels for her as her mother..."
"True, but I was referring to the fact that London climate doesn't suit her, I mean whenever I visit London my skin clears up you know there are less impurities in the air there and..."
"I am not sure about that! Given the number of our absconders resident there and the British government protecting them I am sure the air is not all that clean anymore; besides don't forget London's air quality is one of the lowest in Europe and..."
"Hey, why don't you let me finish my sentence? All I meant was that Maryam Nawaz's skin is erupting in all sorts of pimples in London and she doesn't seem to be glowing like she was in Pakistan and..."
"Maybe the maid who did her make-up never went to London. But seriously politics is in her blood and she ain't getting enough of it in London. I mean two sentences worth of sound bites a day is hardly sufficient for the First Daughter."
"What's with the First Daughter bit - I saw her nomination papers and she had written there wife of Safdar and..."
"She did that so her papers would not be challenged!"
"Hey if she had written daddy's name then too she would not have been lying and who is to say which last name should take precedence..."
"It's better to be safe than sorry - look what happened to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi."
"Maybe it was due to his baffling ambassadorial decisions when he was the prime minister..."
"Nah, not the prerogative of a mere returning officer."
"True."
