The reason Pakistan is in a mess is because the political instability has resulted in an economic fragility and despite endless advice, the old strategies continue

Politics in Pakistan is like an Abbas-Mustan film (think Race) where twists and turns come faster than an Agatha Christie novel and the end brings so much relief from the edge-of-the-seat moments that no one wants to think of the holes in the plot.

The only difference is that no one — just no one — in Pakistani politics can look as good as Saif Ali Khan or Bipasha Basu (I confess my heart wasn’t strong enough to risk watching the sequels).
