Ittefaq Nama

These days I am getting all repotes from all sides. Heh heh heh heh. What is that English maximum? "He who laughs last, laughs lordest, hain ji?"


I heard that Mraan tried to run away from Salamabad last night but he couldn't. Just as he was quitely tip-toeing towards front door, a djinn caught him. “Where do you think you are going, Khan Sahab?” he asked angrily. “Who me?” Mraan asked nervously. “YES YOU!” Djinn shotted. “Shhhhh!" Mraan whispered nervously, "Er, actually, I am going to bathroom". Djinn asked, "Is bathroom coming?" "Yes yes", said Mraan, "I am going to bathroom, Mr Djinn Dearest Sir". “With four suitcases, a treadmill and your cricket bat?” Uff Mraan thought, pakray gaye, might as well tell the truth. “Actally, I am trying to escape, Your Majestic Brilliancy Djinn Mohataram”, he told him. “Why?” he demanded to know. “I have two reasons for trying to escape. Firstly, if I don't do what the  generals want, they will get rid of me”, Mraan said frankly. “Hocus pocus, jadoo tunaaaa zindabad!” Djinn fulminated, “you are stronger than ever. You will defeat the Pakistan Army and stay in government for many years to come”, he thundered. “That’s my other reason for trying to escape,” Mraan admitted.


Djinn didn’t give up. He kept pestering Mraan. “Fact is Khan Sahab, that our Lady of the Shroud, Her Holiness and her band of faithful djinns are far more capable than you and Shaukat Tarin and Shah Mahmud Qureshi and Asad Umar and other sundries of running the country and we will soon be the governing party, Tehrik-e-Jadoo-Tuna Pakistan”. “That’s fine”, Mraan said, “and now please let me go to London”. “Fact is Khan Sahab", djinn persisted, "you have not proved your capability and your eligibility to run away. Let me ask you a basic question: what is two plus two?” Mraan replied, “whatever Her Holiness says it is, Djinn Ji”. “That is the correct answer”, djinn said, “you can leave for Zaman Park but not for London.”


Mraan rolled his suitcases down the drive and since there was no transpote, spent an uneasy night in garden. Naxt morning, djinns called a meeting of the cabinet. They lectured ministers on superb rule of djinns. Asad Umar asked, “Djinn sir, what you say in very interesting but who will negotiate with the IMF?” With that Chief Djinn said meeting is over and go back to work, everyone. Naxt morning, they had another cabinet meeting, and lectured ministers again about the glorious rule of djinns. Shah Mahmud Qureshi said, “O Glorious Djinn, I don’t want to know about who will negotiate with the IMF but can you please tell me what has happened to Asad Umar?”
