Ittefaq Nama
Ramazan mobarak kay baad arz hai that I am feeling very fine, thanks God. Afsos (sorrow) that despite of my genuine ill health and heart by-pass operation, some people in Pakistan are spreading confuyion. They are saying no operation has taken place; it was just escape because of Panama Drama. God has been kind – the operation went well and I am now recuperating at London residence. Although this word “recuperating” I am not liking, sounds too much like another coup in the making.

I hear back home it is so hot, so hot that it is blustering. I also hear that Faujis summoned members of my gormint to read out roit act about China-Pak Economic Corridor. They want to hug that too. I asked Dar Sb that what what happened. He said, what could have happened? We came, we saw and we concurred.

How shellfish. Already whole country is your fifedom. All civilians are thud rate. Crupt we are. Inept we are. But one la for us and another for them. Who has brought Pakistan to this pass, hain ji, that Modi is talk of the town in Washington, getting all sorts of goodies and we are bigger pariah by the day. And poor Dar Saab. How he can make magic budget without money? Every time we ask them, “No mon, no fun, your son”. They reply, “Haw sad, too bad, your dad”. I ask only this: have people of Pakistan elected us? Or is it just quack of fate?

It is season of secret massages. Asif h/o shaheed Benazir sent me secret massage of goodwill and recovery. Altaf also sent. I replied by phoon. He has been to hospital also but is now at home. We praised Britishers health care system. He said his only complaint was that there are no lotas in hospital.

Another thought that is on top of me is this: is it worth it? If you are thinking human being, you become disinfected with power and politics. Trouble is, there is no power in office of PM, only politics. Lass but not least, all thorns have to be removed from fleshpot.
