Diary of a Social Butterfly

Diary of a Social Butterfly
Since Janoo’s placed me under house arrest for this Covid ki second spite I’ve been exhuming myself by watching the latest season of The Crown. Vohi, Princess Diana wallah. The earlier seasons were a bit bore with all that history shistry. I mean who cares? Apart from buddi rooh Janoo of course, who finds even a hundred year old newspaper fascinating. Vaisay to be honest, I did enjoy their clothes, particularly Margaret’s and their jewellery and their big, big houses with four coaster beds and all the nauker chaakers. Also, I discovered that Prince Philip’s mother was a nun. Imagine! She could have come and taught us at the Convent here only. Except that she would’ve taught Mummy, not me, since she was elderly type na. Vaisay I thought nuns couldn’t get married and have children? Must ask Janoo to explain. Or maybe not, he’ll give a long lecture.

Haan, so anyways this season was tabahi. Honestly, Diana Marhooma ko dekh kay, I felt so bad. Budda tharki husband, judgy sarrhial susraal, asteen ka saanp Camilla. Vaisay, it reminded of marriages here also. You know, young si, innocent si girl married into big khaata peeta family who are all the time looking down on her and making her remember her aukaat. And husband cold and bored and ignoring. And also carrying on with someone else. Naturally she’s going to have affairs. Vaisay, I wish she hadn’t chosen her bodyguard. I mean she was a Princess and he was only a security wallah ...

So I was saying to Janoo kay fittay moonh of royal family for treating bechari Diana like this. And he said that we must remember that this is fiction and a TV programme and that Diana was no saint also. I said kay okay if it’s fiction then take a bet with me now only that she won’t die in a car crash in a tunnel and that she’ll live happily ever after with our Pakistani doctor in a Model Town kothi. Voh tau he wouldn’t. Darpoke.
