Very unfortunate
Not so long ago, sources say that well-regarded former premier SKA was told, “ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country”. Not much, came the reply, given the mess it’s in. Then he was asked if he could bear to think of life outside The Man of Steel’s ambit. Absolutely not, came the reply. “That’s very unfortunate”, said those who’d asked.
Songs of praise
Following the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, a chorus of anti-lockdown voices and related songs of praise were heard in The Great Khan’s precinct, because that is what he was longing to hear. Amongst the flatterers was the namesake of the first Great Mughal, who has The Khan’s ear on some matters but hovers at the edges of power, never quite making it to center stage. The Great Mughal announced that “coronavirus will never reach Bunny Gala” because of the inmates’ “devotion to our religion”. As you can imagine, this statement went down very well with The Great Khan.
Return of the Mummy
Sources say that a very important advisor’s mummy has been stuck in Her Majesty’s realm on account of Covid-19, for months. We hear she has been urging her son to enable her to return to the Land of the Pure and he has been resisting. When she recently put her foot down, he told her in no uncertain terms that she simply could not return, given the huge surge in infections. “Mukhtiareya, hakumat das di naheen payee”?! Whatever the case, we’re unlikely to see the Return of the Mummy any time soon.
Fanning the fires
While the sugar report slams the cartels, there are frantic efforts afoot on the one hand to fan the fires and on the other to douse the flames. While The Boyz have decided to humour every whim of The Great Khan for the moment, they are essentially not in favour of the dismantling of the cartels, given the services they have rendered. Other political lobbies within the ruling party are however fanning the fires to settle scores. Let’s see who wins.
