Everybody got a good laugh at the PPP’s last core committee meeting. Everybody, except Rahman Malik, apparently. Things would’ve been pretty mundane with Sherry reading out a pretty well drafted resolution and all. But Malik sb kept interrupting; he wasn’t too happy with the things that were missed. But Sherry put him in his place. Those things were there, she pointed out, but the draft was in English. His protest was admirable – that he’s a PhD and therefore educated, even if the degree was honourary – but it didn’t stop the giggling.

Remember how we were spot on about lawn being the latest rush in Lahore. The aunties attacked those stores as if a war had just been called. Good old JJ – of the in-a-tight-spot Junaid Jamshed fame – wriggled his way back too. And what’s more, he’s sparked a following. There’s more shari’a compliant lawn now. His good buddy and fellow TV host, the slightly more controversial, Dr Amir Liaquat is launching a brand of his own. The more the merrier, within conservative limits, of course.
