"Hang on, what is so exciting! I mean nothing but nothing is happening in this country that can be the cause of excitement. The Prime Minister reckons that because he was elected everything will eventually fall into place...wait, let me finish - first there is the inflow of Saudi, the UAE, Qatar and Chinese loans to meet the deficit and the balance of payment issues..."
"Granted that these are all loans and due within the year..."
"My question if this was happening during Nawaz Sharif or the Zardari tenure what would The Khan have said?"
"OK, point taken, but The Khan has merely inherited..."
"Too true, but the steps to resolve the issues remain the same or at least during the first four months of The Khan administration: beg or borrow from external sources, do not reform the tax structure and let the existing unfair taxes continue, then there is failure to check development expenditure and...and allowing current expenditure to creep up by even more than was budgeted and..."
"I get it my dear, but these are not The Khan's priorities at present. He will bring back the wealth of Pakistani politicians stashed abroad, he will..."
"I thought his priority was to ensure Medina style administration in Pakistan and he is not referring to the way the city is administered today but how it was administered when it was really a city state and..."
"That is the objective but you and I both know that there is many a slip between the cup and the lip, especially when the cup is imported and imported lip balm applied carefully on the lip."
"Oh stop it, when The Khan says Medina administration he means a state of utopia - justice for all, no one to sleep hungry, no one to be unfairly treated....'
"And Descon is to Razzak Dawood, the Advisor to the Prime Minister on everything but engineering, as Omni is to Zardari sahib and Brothers Sugar Mills is to the Sharif family and..."
"There is a difference my friend: Dawood's resignation was real while the others' was cosmetic..."
"Speaking of lip balm..."
"Oh shush, anyway what excited me was not domestic news but foreign news, two tennis greats - Roger Federer and partner Belinda Bencic beat Serena Williams and Frances Tiafoe in the Fast4 format..."
"That's mixed doubles, even our Parveen Rashid would oppose it, I mean that would remind him of Middlesex, a county in London, leave alone a firm proponent of the Medina administration..."
"What if it was single combat with Federer versus Williams?"
"There goes the dream of Medina administration..."
"How about if Buzdar teams up with Parveen Rashid against Bilawal Zardari Bhutto is it Bhutto Bilawal Zardari or perhaps..."
"Who do you team up BBZ with?"
"Shazia Marri and that would neutralize Buzdar and..."
"Don't be facetious."
