PARTLY FACETIOUS: Orange a colour that really doesn’t suit women in Punjab
“I can’t understand this obsession with colours.” “Well, some colours suit one skin type and doesn’t another.” “That I understand, what I was referring to are the colours given to some projects.”
“Excuse me?”
“Pink bus?”
“That colour is associated with girls and the bus is for girls – free for two months, and we don’t know what will be charged later.”
“Is it age specific or gender-specific?”
“I am not sure even the Chief Minister would know at this stage. But you know, the pink bus reminds me of Shehbaz Sharif’s orange line, another transport…”
“Orange is a colour that really doesn’t suit women in the Punjab and…why are you laughing?”
“I know where you are going with this, that because Shehbaz Sharif knows orange does not suit Notification Maryam Nawaz (NMN)…”
“Don’t be facetious. But speaking of different colours for different folks, I hear that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari may want the Foreign Ministry portfolio…”
“For himself or Hina Rabbani Khar?”
“If he wants to rub the nose of the Samdhi in Search of more Portfolios (SSP) in the mud, he will nominate someone for the portfolio…”
“You know, the Deputy Prime Minister position trumps the Foreign Minister position, or that is what all press releases indicate.”
“Yes but a Foreign Minister has an entire ministry under him while Shehbaz Sharif will have to designate a room for the Deputy Prime Minister, again why are you laughing?”
“I hear as there are few empty rooms in the Prime Minister’s Secretariat…”
“No, no, and no Shehbaz Sharif is not, I repeat not, going to allocate him a suite in the Prime Minister’s House - I mean I have it on good authority that he issued the SSP notification with a very heavy heart and…”
“:so no empty rooms at all!”
“Well the guards room where they sit when on a break, smoke a cigarette can be vacated at a moment’s notice and…”
“How dare you!”
“Hey it is in the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.”
“May you burn in hell fire.”
