Tabdeeli!
Overheard in the Punjab Assembly from a Member: “Mr Speaker Sir, I went to the Assembly mosque for prayers, and left my shoes outside. When I returned, my own shoes were gone and I had to put on some sandals that were available. It appears I have been made to change my shoes. Jootay tabdeel karnay paray. Lagta hai tabdeeli aa gayee hai!” Change is in the air!
Inconsolable
We hear that The Man of Steel’s octogenarian, ailing mother is besides herself with grief over the continued incarceration of her son and granddaughter. She is inconsolable, and her younger son has to rush to her side to comfort her between his own court appearances and other responsibilities.
Another hallowed presence
Our mole in Bunny Gala reports that a former aide de camp has been removed from The Great Khan’s sanctum sanctorum. Rumour has it that he was discovered trying to barter access to his boss and was reprimanded. We’ve also heard that apart from Her Holiness there is another hallowed lady who’s advice is sought before important decisions are made. She’s said to be another “Bibi” from the land of the great Baba Farid, and enjoys Her Holiness’s confidence.
