While the cat’s away …
A high and mighty potentate of a province has taken a fancy to a young lady but is wary of her antecedents. So, he’s put his official sleuths to work. They’re supposed the get the lowdown and report on whether she’s kosher or not.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, while the cat was away, the mice did play. They say the usual suspects, shady ladies, made regular appearances at the hacienda and when our bhabi returned, she was furious.
Blessings needed
The now retired Umpire, architect of the dharna etc., is busy with the more mundane aspects of life. Like getting his recently allotted land developed, in the nether regions of the Land of Five Rivers. Trouble is, he needs The Man of Steel’s blessings to do this. So, we hear he’s busy fawning on The Brothers these days.
We are not amused
Our mole reports that a visiting Arab sheikh was amused to see flags of the “wrong country” fluttering en route his arrival at Lahore airport. It transpired that the flags were of “another country” in the Gulf, not the sheikh’s. They were hastily taken down and replaced with the right ones.
Pretty penny
While the smuggler supermodel’s trials and tribulations continue, we hear she’s made a pretty penny sneaking greenbacks out of the country, at the behest of the rich and famous. They say she, and others of her ilk, get 5 per cent of the total. If it’s correct that she’s made 40 or so such trips in the last few months, that’s a whopping $ 1 million in earnings, if the amounts were anything like the current 500 grand.
