Re: # 3

:) You are right. I should have. I had better chances of getting them than what I ended up asking for.

Not even those brocade Imaam-Zaamins could save her from death. Those arm-bands should've had 'Oh Alah help me' embroidered over them instead!

To expect democratic elections within parties based around cult personalities is to live in a fool's paradise.

Re: # 2

I believe there's a story behind why they called her PINKY! Will someone reveal the truth of those college days abroad?

Anyway, her father called her that too; so what's the fuss?

Extremely wealthy (who gave her all that?), and twice-PM (God gave her two chances). Zulfi hunted with the lion AND ran with the mare and got hung by shoelaces made out of Zia's moustaches!

Rafi Sahib:

When Ben' Bhu' came out of the bottle and granted you three wishes you should have asked for a plot, a payout and a Pajero. Ah, to be young and naive again ....

I am angry with this punk to call 54 years educated and foreign return and extremely accomplished person, extremely wealthy, fairest of fair and good looking , two time PM, first muslim PM in world , daughter of Lion of Sindh as "pinky".Hope people address leaders like departed EXprime minister as Mrs Benezir Bhutto.

Great article. Thanks.

I was a great fan of ZAB, but having some occasion to know Benazir via common family firends, never thought much of her.

There was a repeat of her 'Ek Din Geo Key Saath' in which she was asked by Sohail Warraich as to why she was so staunchly pro-american while her father died confronting it. Her answer was that the general atmosphere in those days was anti-american because of the vietnam war, which is why her father was anti-american, but things are different now.

I could barely believe my ears.
