I was talking to my friend Bubbles who lives in Isloo, and she said every single Isloo wallah has breathed a sigh of belief and is giving thousand, thousand shukranas that Isloo has finally gone back to normal.

Now that V.D. Jance is not coming, that non-stop naaka-bandi type security has been relaxed and, finally, Isloo wallahs are allowed to leave their homes and do all their zaroori kaams that were stuck up.

So Bubbles immediately dashed out of her house to buy her lawn jorras and visit her darzi and get her hair died. And her husband, Shaffy — waisay tau he’s Shafqat — rushed off to climb the Margallahs. He’s into climbing shimbing, na, and goes every weekend with topi and soti and, I think so, he must have worried that the Margallahs might have disappeared or something while he was trapped in his house. So, I think so he went to check for himself.

Waisay, talking of security, just look at Americans saying kay they couldn’t send Jance to Isloo because they couldn’t be sure of our security, when they can’t even keep Trump safe in Washington itself. Barray aaye.

The failure to achieve a resolution in the US-Iran talks being mediated........
