"You reckon another 'clash of the Titans' is in the making?"
"I reckon better sense will prevail. Modi stated in a public rally during the weekend that India will avenge the Pulwama attack against Pakistan diplomatically and through trade - a charge which Prime Minister Khan has restated will be dealt with only if actionable proof is provided to Pakistan and......"
"Hey, I wasn't referring to India-Pakistan tensions at all."
"Oh, I guess by Titans you meant those opposition leaders and their close associates, political and business associates, who the National Accountability Bureau is going after and who the Prime Minister and his team of merry men and women cannot desist from accusing and threatening and..."
"Dear, dear me, let me try to educate you. In Greek mythology, Perseus the superhero, son of the king of the gods Zeus and mortal Danae, legendary founder of Mycenae beheaded Medusa, you know the lady with snakes for hair, and saved Andromeda from the sea monster. Clash of the Titans was a Hollywood film......"

"Stop, the Titans or superheroes or in Pakistani parlance those who rightfully regard themselves as VVVIPs, or very, very, very Important Persons..."
"Oh dear, I fear you are referring to something political."
"Exactly my friend, and two of the titans I was referring to are FC, Fawad Chaudhry or the man who heads or headed The Khan's Frontier Constabulary, and Naeemul Haq..."
"If it's between those two titans then I would like to inform you that my vote is always in favour of Naeemul Haq..."
"Because he is a long time committed Tehrik-i-Insaaf supporter? FC joined the bandwagon relatively recently though let's be honest he has experience in bad mouthing the opposition, experience gleaned when he was a supporter of other parties while this is the first time in government for Naeemul Haq..."
"Good heaven, no; Naeemul Hq did something that I give him full marks for which I bet you FC would never ever be able to do because he is the output of the policy of reconciliation."
"That being?"
"He slapped Danial Aziz on television, not out of the public eye, but right there for all to see and if Naeemul Haq ever wants to stand for elections he has my vote."
"Don't be facetious."
