"I have found the solution to keep the dratted media in check."

"The Khan doesn't like to get advice from the likes of you, besides his administration has come up with a solution that you may think Draconian..."

"Putting one individual in charge of assessing whether any content in the print or electronic media is appropriate or not has the seeds of becoming a Draconian law but what if the individual is a man or woman of integrity."

"Give me a name?"

"The Khan is a man of integrity..."

"True, but he has developed a bias against the media so perhaps his credentials of being unbiased maybe slightly compromised in this case..."

"I will ignore that comment, I am a blood pressure patient now and I must not get angry; in any case The Khan is too busy to take up the position you mention, give me another name?"

"How about Sheikh Rashid, I mean he is the only minister who is always free to come as a guest even at short notice, I saw him once on a cooking show as well..."

"Sheikh sahib is a food connoisseur, though I grant you he is messing up the railways so perhaps he will do a tad less damage..."

"The Khan listens to performance of his ministers as related by his ministers so..."

"Ha ha, that's true, anyway another name could be Container Shah."

"Container Shah would place containers in front of all media outlets."

"Don't be facetious, he is going to have to give up the Interior Ministry and once he does then there goes his control over the placement of containers and wires; and have you seen the ribbon to block passage from Constitution Avenue to D Chowk..."

"Why don't you see the glass as half full - he is using all the ribbons that his boss is cutting every day instead of..."

"Shhh, anyway what's your solution?"

"To disengage with the media - The Khan's narrative ain't selling so a better option is to bar his media team from holding press conferences and briefings and...and wait disband the Press Information Ministry and associated officers and staff and save money to be used for his Ehsaas programme..."

"The only one who can be fired is Firdous Ashiq Awan - the others are government servants so they will have to go to the employee pool waiting for duty but I guess it's worth a shot..."

"I will miss FAA - it's a pleasure to see her wearing a new outfit every time she appears on television though her taste runs towards wedding type of clothes, you know shiny..."

"I heard that's all the rage in Sialkot."
