Lady on a Mission


She is the latest talk of the town and her TRP's are soaring beyond the moon perhaps. Guess who? Its a no-brainer, Hina Rabbani Khar, the youngest foreign minister of Pakistan and perhaps the first at a mere age of 34. Who says third world countries cannot compete with the west. She has left Hillary Clinton miles ahead in her soaring popularity index now.

As usual India is lamenting atleast for the first time Pakistan has the upper hand on something ubiquitous and the Indian media has already gone gaga over her recent visit to India, so much so that she has to take a frown at the media upon reaching Pakistan for projecting her more as a style icon rather than a foreign minister aka the lady on a mission.


Inside closed circles already there are murmurs in India of putting a lady in the foreign ministers hot seat albeit for the first time. For one its almost an accepted fact a cabinet ministerial berth in India is reserved mostly for the post-retired people. Its time for a whiff of fresh air for a government already in a mess that it is, its time the baba's and the babe's take the hot seat. Atleast they can't do worst than the present.

Coming to Khar madam, she is rich, suave and is not afraid speaking her mind with her birkin bag to give company, Roberto Cavalli shades and Jimmy Choo heels, she has given a soft target for the media to vent their frustration. All in all atleast for once everyone is talking about Pakistan not for a wrong reason.
