Staying away
As the days pass, details of the Mush-Big Ben deal will become known to the nation and it will then be obvious that the arrangements range from the practical and do-able, to the mindlessly optimistic to the downright bizarre. One such caveat brokered by Mush and Big Ben’s intermediaries has to do with Hubby’s status and return to the Land of the Pure. Our mole says it has been agreed that Hubby will stay put abroad and not return to Pakistan. They say Big Ben did not need much persuasion on this score and has agreed to let Hubby stay away.

<b>In the Land of Sand </b>
Mush’s visit to Al-King in the Land of Sand had a single point agenda – to get the Brothers Sharifov to stay away from Pakistan. Clearly, it hasn’t worked to the extent that the Brothers have moved the Supreme Court to clear the way for their return. Whether they actually make the journey at the end of the day is yet to be seen but sources say Al-King is mighty cheesed off with them. A fly on the wall told us that Al-King had a one-on-one meeting with Mush in which he poured his heart out regarding the Brothers’ “broken promises” and “violated agreements”. Al-King told Mush that they had asked for a three month break from the Land of Sand to attend to ailing family members, and had promised to return. Al-King said the Brothers Sharifov were now turning a deaf ear to him.

<b>Posting and transfers </b> <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Such is the new-found amity between Mush and Big Ben that even before the ink is dry on The Mother of All Deals, the lady is being consulted on all and sundry. We hear no important postings and transfers of high officials are being done without Big Ben’s say-so. Naturally, the lady is deeply appreciative of Mush’s gentlemanly conduct.

<b>Dynastic duel</b>
Now that it’s open season, Pakistanis will witness yet another dynastic duel. This one is between two sisters-in-law, bahus of a political dynasty. The duel will run on powerful undercurrants, with one lady taking a more prominent public position than the other. Watch this space.
