Partly Facetious : What do clothes make?

"How to be big hearted gracefully!"

"What does big hearted have to do with grace. Let me give you a local example, graceful, graceful, graceful, can't think of anyone off hand - I used to think during The Khan's Jemima days that he was graceful, you know elegantly dressed but now he is kind of...of..."

"You are but a Brown Sahib! Clothes don't make a man or a woman for that matter!"

"Performance?"

"I am not going there today. Anyway The Khan dresses now like...like...like...well like a well dressed Pakistani man wearing local dress."

"I agree, like that scion of the Maneka family - I forget his name, it began with was it a Q or a K?"

"Stop it, I would have you know that wives do have a say in what their husband's wear and I maintain that the strength of a marriage is evident from the clothes worn by the husband. Now during The Khan's second marriage there was no change in what he wore and that explains the strength of that relationship."

"Hmmm, but anyway when I used the word graceful I didn't mean clothes, I was referring to doing something gracefully, you know being kind, being a humanitarian..."

"Are you referring to the delay in removing Nawaz Sharif's name from the exit control list?"

"I mean if you have decided for whatever reason that he would be allowed to leave the country then do it gracefully."

"Hey the delay is not attributable to being not graceful as you put it but part of the usual indecisiveness of The Khan's cabinet."

"Nawaz Sharif has rejected the condition of the surety bond and...wait... Zardari sahib has also rejected any favours from The Khan and..."

"Hmmm, that's another thing, The Khan and his band of merry men don't seem to understand the nature of the people they are trying to make 'accountable'! They are proud men and yes they are used to deals and if you don't deal with them like in the past then they won't deal with you even if you can make their life so much easier..."

"The Khan is also a proud man."

"Proud is good, arrogant not so good."

"Sadly, all leaders who have become Pakistan's chief executive are injected daily with a large dose of arrogance..."

"Indeed."
