Is it in the water?

By all accounts the Pakistan economy is in even bigger trouble than the Indian one. After growing strongly from 2003-2007 growth rate is down to 2.4%. It has a population of 180 million which is growing by over 3 million per year. Consumer inflation last year was at 13.7% and interest rate is at 12%. The Pakistani rupee is 95 to the dollar and yet snippets of news seem to indicate that women are really hot across the border. After Bin Laden was killed 2 of his widows came to blows inside a Pakistani prison where they were being held. TOI, 21 April. The eldest wife, Khairia claimed that the youngest one, Amal " demanded sex 24 hours a day ". Khairia, 61 years old, was said to be jealous that 29 year old Amal got to sleep with Bin Laden all the time. Khairia accused Amal of sticking to Osama like a prostitute who wanted " sex throughout the day ". We do not have first hand knowledge but were led to believe that prostitutes are highly professional ladies who only " stick " to you if they are paid. In advance. So are we to understand the Bin Laden was paying Amal by the hour to stick to him? No wonder the poor fellow was found with tons of aphrodisiac herbs. Had he been left alone he would probably have died of exhaustion. But Americans love grandstanding. Now we hear that the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Hina Rabbani Khar has fallen in love with the scion of the Bhutto family, Bilawal, son of President Asif Ali Zardari. Bilawal is 23 years old and single while Ms Khar is a 34 year old mother of 2 children. She is still married to one Feroz Gulzar. Apparently pop Zardari found the two of them in a clinch in his own residence. The story was broken by a Bangladeshi tabloid. Why?  What were our intelligence fellows doing ? Why were they not the first ones to find out ?  They are as useless as our investigation fellows. Seems that Ms Khar wrote notes to Bilawal suggesting future liaison. Female Indian journalists are seriously jealous of Ms Khar who is said to be beautiful, wears strings of pearls and carries a Birkin bag, whatever that is. She is hardly likely to keep her pearls in a jute sack, is she? Pop Zardari is said to be very angry. Why? Did he want to have a little nooky with the lady himself? Is that why he picked her for the post of Foreign Minister? So many questions but few answers. However, there seems little doubt that the ladies across the border are not miserly about distributing their favors. How different from the " Bharatiya Naaris " that we have here. They are scandalised by the slightest hint of sex in movies so our government works hard to protect their tender sensibilities by banning everything. Must be something in the water. How the men must be enjoying themselves. No wonder our lot keep going to Pakistan on " bended knees ".
