Look at Imran! Fust he calls for shut dawn. Then he cancels it. Please admit. Imran Khan’s biggest problem is Imran Khan. I am in beloved London, sending email to faithful lieutenants on haw to tackle Imran. But email is proving difficult. I send same email twice, or blank and to wrong person. I forget to attach attachments. I press SEND before I’m finished and I hit DELETE instead of SEND. Worst, I hit SEND when I should DELETE. I’m told it’s called the “C-NILE VIRUS”.

Where I was? Oh yes, Imran. (Sometimes my train of thought leaves the station without me). Guess what I said to Modi Sahab in Khatmandu which made him shake my hand? “Please come to Lahore. I will treat you to Chaman Ass Cream. You can have any flavour. Best is Stabri, 2nd best is chaklate, thud best is venela & coconet, discounted flavour of the month is Hafiz Saeed”. Upon hearing this, Modi Sahab grasped my hand and shook it wigorously.

Praise be to Allah for plunging oil prices. Ishaq Dar Saab says, “Behold! We have seized the commanding depths of the economy. Our over optimistic revenue forecasts from Chinese coal-fired energy plants and the ridiculous sovereign guarantees we’ve given them will make us the most polluted country and the most ridiculed economy in the world”. These great plans remind me of our national fruit – paagal banana.

With December approaching, I am getting lots of 2015 Calendars. I said to my secretary, “will you hang the calendar or shall I hang myself?” I think he’s also got C-NILE VIRUS because he stared at me blankly. Just as well, calendar was rubbish. I told secretary, “Don’t worry. Take the calendar and fall in the dustbin”.

After that, I went for walk in cold Margalla Hills, along with other members of Islamabad’s power elite. It was amazing sight – many of them actually had their hands in their own pockets.
