Billions in US aid that are being showered on Pakistan reminds me of that scene in Slumdog Millionaire that took place at the Taj Mahal in Agra. An American tourist couple happened to ask Jamal, the hero, where they could find a guide to take them round the Taj. âI am a guide and will take you roundâ, came the prompt reply.
The Americans were so overwhelmed at finding a willing hand so readily that the man immediately flashed out a hundred dollar note and gave it to the boy. Jamal then coolly spun out tales about the Taj â a bit in the slick style of our Zardari Sahib â with no connection to actual facts, for which he was showered with many more dollars. link<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
