Letter from Karachi...
Justice Rana Bhagwandas should have stayed in Nilu’s Bhagwan’s ashram, chanting the Gyan Geeta until he reincarnated into a carefree bird. Little did he know, when he stepped out of nirvana and back into our messy State of Affairs, that the little black coat would be the comeback of Spring 2007.
Move aside Audrey Hepburn, because this year it is the Liars who are calling the shots. No, we’re not talking about the upcoming presidential elections (with many nominations but only one self-appointed winner), but our jazbaati Lawyers Community, who have been at the forefront of Fashion Do’s and Dont’s this year. Do wear a black coat, but don’t wear it until you’ve entered the city limits or the Capital Police will send you home packing.
With a penchant for pretty boys, grade “A” heroine and holy war, Pushtoon’s have rarely been at the forefront of the mod squad. Instead, like the stereotypical Sikh, they have made their mark for all-brawn, no brain feats committed in fits of passion, like the Peshawari Lawyer Khurshid Khan shooting himself in the arm at a 2002 press conference to prove his love for his hero “Shaheed” Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Recently, Khan made headlines again, this time for introducing the latest incarnation of the black coat… of paint
sprayed across government counsel’s Ahmed Raza Kasuri’s face. Afflicted by a martyr complex of sorts, Khan is ready to face the consequences of his actions; damned sure he’ll be getting front row seats in heaven for “the greatest achievement in his life.”
Meanwhile, Kasuri is also suffering from delusions of grandeur, making bold press statements about having personally hung the founding leader of the PPP. Reality check, boys, Bhutto killed Kasuri’s Daddy, not vice versa, and sorry Khan-saab, vandalising the prosecution hardly provides grounds for being hung these days.
Rumour has it that Designer (and close friend of Princess Di) Rizwan Baig, will soon be skipping town for Dubai, much to the chagrin of Memon aunties who may just have to go to Deepak Perwani instead. No wonder the lawyers are stealing the show, deciding that black is back months before Muharram is even due to begin.
