"What did you think of the India-Pakistan cricket match?"
"I say we are a nation of contraries."
"Where did that come from? I was asking about the India-Pakistan cricket match - much hype about the same o same o."
"In the English language, it's much ado about nothing."
"And as we are not native English speakers...hey that reminds me of The Khan. I was proud of him for having heeded the wishes of the nation and I applaud him for reading out a prepared speech in the SCO summit."
"Right, and The Khan can make as many changes as he wants, but the speech writer gets to check any historical references in the speech..."
"And geographical references, France is next to Germany and not Japan, and seriously Japan doesn't even sound like France..."
"They both have an a!"
"Don't be facetious; but anyway one question: is it being consistent to wear the Pakistani dress, sherwani, a dress code which The Khan clearly does not impose on his other ministers, but deliver his speech in English?"
"It's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't with you Zardis and Nawalas..."
"Alright, but going back to our contrariness as a nation let me ask you: what is The Khan's undisputed expertise in? Undisputed even by Zardari sahib and Nawaz Sharif's heirs?"
"Maryam must thank Zardari sahib...he and his party members fully endorse her as Nawaz Sharif's heir, and not Shahbaz Sharif or his sons, I mean while Bilawal has clearly been accepted as the party's leader, Maryam Nawaz has not yet been handed over the mantle..."
"That's because Zardari sahib's vote bank is...is...not as massive as his bank balance while Bilawal does have a vote bank and Maryam's bank account may be flush but her vote bank..."
"Enough, anyway The Khan's expertise in cricket is undisputed as I said and he advised the cricket captain to bat first, an advice that was not followed, while The Khan knows nothing about the economy, the power sector, security and yet his directions with respect to these important subjects are followed..."
"Hmmm, just shows that the cabinet and the bureaucrats have less backbone than our cricketers and need I add The Khan himself is a shining example of that."
"He needs to take away the position of the chief executive being the patron in chief of cricket and hockey and..."
"I hear you but the next man in will take less than a minute to reverse that decision."
"Indeed."
