Fingers crossed
The whole country is seized with uncertainty about whether elections will be held on time or not. In case they are (as they should be) plans are afoot to create an interim government that will assume charge when the elected one completes its term. This government will conduct elections, hand over to the winners and depart. Fingers crossed. The names being proposed are as follows: Mushaisaab and WS, an eminent lawyer and long-running Chairman of the Senate (The Boyz are keen on both). Hubby has proposed his own Chairman of the Senate for the Top Job, RR, a respected constitutionalist and long-standing democrat.
Al Brince’s purge
We hear Bobby, now retired from his service to Pakistan, and on his next job in the Land of Sand, is close to Al Brince, who’s calling the shots. The Brince is heir apparent, and mastermind of a ruthless purge being carried out presently. Many of his kinsmen have been detained and shaken down for billions of dollars. Al Brince is also keen on the armed force his country has assembled, basically to stare down the Ayatollahs. And Bobby’s in charge of that. We hear he has recruited many ex-servicemen from Pakistan, including two retired Major Generals.
Innocent pleasures
It was a sight for sore eyes, The Sheikh of Lal Haveli on an open rickshaw in London’s West End one cold and crisp evening, taking a ride to the accompaniment of music. He was having the time of his life, chomping his cigar and loving the ride. Good to see him partaking of innocent pleasures!
