Partly Facetious : The story of the hare and the tortoise

04 Jul, 2019

"If you hire the same people they are going to make the same mistakes..."
"I disagree, people change, people learn from experience and adapt..."
"Not Nawaz Sharif, each time he fought with the army chief, even with the ones he himself appointed, and need I remind you Musharraf was promoted out of turn by Nawaz Sharif..."
"Musharraf bit the hand that fed it."
"Excuse me, but if the hand begins to slap you around survival instincts take over..."
"Oh dear, anyway when I said if you hire the same people you can expect the same mistakes I wasn't referring to Nawaz Sharif or Musharraf."
"Ah were you referring to High Speed Diesel..."
"There is nothing high speed about Hafeez Sheikh, compare him with Umar and you can use the story of the hare and the tortoise."
"The tortoise won."
"Yes in this case too. But you know I would challenge the umpire's bias in that story, I mean really! Was it fair to distract the hare during the race! Besides not to support an animal that appreciates natural beauty and another who doesn't..."
"Don't be facetious - anyway I wasn't referring to HS either. I was referring to the arrest of Rana sahib by the anti-narcotics force under the Ministry of Narcotics whose minister is Shaharyar Afridi."
"Right, Ijaz Shah isn't the relevant minister! Now had Shah sahib been the Minister I may have agreed with you that hiring the same people means making the same mistakes, Shah belongs to the old Pakistan, you know when arrests were made and there were no cameras in mobile phones so no need to take footage showing that the Rana was apprehended with 15-kg heroin while traveling from Faisalabad to Lahore..."
"The PML-N should fire Rana for stupidity if he was taking drugs from Faisalabad to Lahore."
"Don't be facetious; any Afridi belongs to the new Pakistan and..."
"Where loyalty takes precedence over common sense, this happens."
"Ha, ha, indeed anyway Nawaz Sharif was a trail blazer, he launched the concept of the power of the First Daughter and Trump followed. I just saw a video of Ivanka being ignored by European leaders and Christine Lagarde of the IMF and Americans are saying being a first daughter is no reason for being made the top diplomat and..."
"Trump ain't gonna like being a follower and that too of a Muslim."
"Trump won't like it! What about the Khan!"
"The Khan is believed to have a daughter that he has not formally acknowledged and..."
"Don't be so literal. I reckon Jehangir Tareen is The Khan's First Daughter - unveiling an agriculture plan that is long on allocations which the country doesn't have and...wait Sindh is not on board, the second largest producer of farm output and..."
"That's not like Ivanka, that's like Jared, remember his Middle East peace plan that the Israelis love but none of the Arab countries..."
"So what does that make Tareen? The First Son-in-Law."
"Let's just say Advisor Supremo."
