“LPF is a cause of serious concern.” “Indeed it is and it is LPG not LPF – liquid petroleum gas used mainly domestically as a cooking fuel by the lower income Pakistani households and…”

“Right and the price of LPG rose to Rs 2705 per 11.8 kg this month against Rs 197 in June – a sharp decline from Rs 234 in May.”

“Is the September price before or after the whip brigade was activated?”

“Whip brigade? Against who?”

“Well the whip brigade was activated after 9 May this year…”

“Will you stop bringing politics into everything?”

“Alright, but your question was when was the whip brigade activated? And technically…”

“Shush I don’t want a technical answer I want a generalist answer – I am not a technocrat…”

“Neither are more than 80 percent of those appointed or claiming to be technocrats.”

“I know who you are referring to but let me tell you that a chartered accountant is technically a technocrat just not an economic technocrat.”

“Ah yes I stand corrected, so misplacement of more than 80 percent technocrats…”

“I wouldn’t dwell on that because qualified economists have done no better…”

“Low Pass Filter which is a technical term for passing signals with a frequency lower than a selected cut off frequency and…”

“Did I or did I not tell you that I am a generalist so no I didn’t mean low pass filter. I meant level playing field and need I add all politicians other than the Nawalas including daddy and Notification Maryam Nawaz, reckon that Plan A is to install them in the Centre and Punjab and there are no other plans at all…”

“Yep you have to give them full marks, I mean such commitment to never learning from their own history. Anyway The maulana is not in the running for either of these juicy plums – centre and Punjab, and Nawaz Sharif has promised him the Kashmir Committee so he is…”

“What about setting up a Khalistan committee – I hear there may be more foreign tours if such a committee is established what with India-Canada row…”

“Don’t be facetious.”
