"Haven't heard from her for ages..."

"Well, she cost him his job."

"That's still to be seen."

"I don't understand, Mufti Abdul Qavi has lost his job hasn't he!"

"Oh yes him, yes, he has been suspended from his membership of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and..."

"That's bad, and before you say anything let me tell me why I think it's bad! He was the only member of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee who did not wear corrective eye glasses and so I worry whether the remaining members will be able to see the next month's moon though granted that they have the use of telescopes and..."

"Speaking of good eyesight, look where it got him!"

"Look at the glass as half full - it got him to meet the model and it got him publicity, I mean is there anyone in this country who doesn't know of Mufti Abdul Qavi I ask you."

"I disagree, right about now I would reckon he feels the glass is fully empty - no job, no girl and bad publicity to boot."

"What responsibilities?"

"Keeping the PML-N in line?"

"That's not happening; with at least 50 nawalas letting the world know in no uncertain terms that they don't like Dar as they walked out of his winding up speech..."

"Well, she is running the Prime Minister's media cell..."

"Not working either, her selections' vitriol and I am referring to Danyal Aziz and Talal Chaudhry and company have left many of Sharif supporters disgusted."

"Well, she was giving updates on her dad's health..."

"And sympathy has died down with all the Sharif acquisitions in London on show."

"People have a short memory so may be by 2018 elections..."

"If wishes were horses..."
