Least Favourite things.

Grey Hair and wrinkles,
Love handles in thirties
twenty buck Roses with down turned expressions
These are some of my least favourite things

Empty mail boxes
Cats out patrolling
Classes on Fridays early at 0930
These are some of my least favourite things

Winter in mid April
Inbox not opening
Washing bathtub with bleach and scrubbing
These are some of my least favourite things

Chicken at lunch and chicken at dinner
On Monday and Tuesday going into Wednesday
Same 'ol chicken day in and day out
These are some of my least favourite things

Call it what you might, Taliban, extremist, jihadi, Al Qaeda, seperatist, a murderer by any name is ...

Nothing out of the ordinary there, as the decision to marry was also theirs, except maybe the timing of the announcement which coincided with the local bodies elections and may have had an impact but thats something which would be very difficult to gauge. What I do find quite extraordinary and almost bordering on incredulous is the amazing audacity of PTI supporters to present this break up as a result of some sort of principled stand by Mr. Khan. The idea being that Ms. Khan wanted to play a role in party politics and Mr. Khan could not bring himself to allow this so he had to sacrifice his marriage for his principled stand! How utterly outrageous is this! This is not principled stance but rather immaturity and shortsightedness. These two got into this relationship out of probably love and, I would assume, mutual admiration and respect. It was definitely not an 'arranged...
