Partly Facetious

17 Jul, 2019

What does 'rayloo katta' mean?
"So any advice for The Khan?"
"He doesn't like taking advice from rayloo kattas like you."
"Thank you but whatever does that mean?"
"I am not sure but there are many rayloo kattas in this country as per The Khan and his loyalists - you have the Sharifs and their loyalists and I am referring to Saad Rafique and Rana sahib...."
"Have you heard Rana sahib maaf karna (forgive me Rana sahib) an Indian song and the actor who played Rana sahib was mostly cast as the villain and need I add his moustache and our Rana sahib's moustache and general facial features were kind of similar and..."
"Our Rana sahib is a city bloke, the Indian actor usually played the role of a landlord resident not in parliament like our landlords but resident in the village so not an absentee landlord..."
"Yeah, yeah anyway The Khan only takes advice from Jehangir Tareen so you brief him and then he will pass on the message to The Khan if he is convinced that your advice is appropriate..."
"Oh dear lord me, all I wanted to say was that when The Khan meets The Trump he should focus on similarities and not on dissimilarities like our Foreign Office has been doing for more than a decade and not very successfully need I add and..."
"Our Foreign Office is focused on the price we paid and continue to pay as a nation in fighting the war on terror - price as in actual dollars and cents and lives lost - but American administrations reckon we have been adequately compensated materially so not a convincing argument. Then we say that the Afghans are launching terror attacks from across the border and that the bad Indians with whom the US has a strategic partnership with, is fuelling anti-Pakistan sentiment and there are terror attacks launched from Afghan soil that must be stopped and..."
"That's not going to cut any ice with The Trump."
"But...but..."
"I would advise The Khan to focus on similarities - The Trump and The Khan both married three times, and both are reportedly having some issues with current Wife Number Three, their conquests when they were younger, and...and....wait I want to point out another commonality between the two men: they both hate those who oppose them and hurl insults and accusations against them through twitter and...."
"Good point but what if The Khan offers state land in one of the beautiful spots in the North of this country or in the city to build Trump tower...."
"Would that be profitable I mean...."
"Sure it would be the best measure to reduce capital flight - our rich may be tempted to buy locally in Trump tower and...."
"You are being facetious."
