Needed; girls with wisdom

These days in Pakistan pretty, foreign-qualified (and foreign-accented) girls are in great demand. Our TV channels are in constant pursuit of these damsels to take them as comperes or anchorpersons. They are offered fat salaries, new cars and first class travel all over the country to interview the high and mighty of our society. Theirs is an all expense paid job. You would never see these girls interviewing a poor man because they wouldn't know the language the poor man speaks. These girls have good educational background but no experience of life. It is said wisdom comes with age. That is why their questions, despite being forceful, have no depth. -COL (Retd) R.M. AKHTAR, Lahore Cantt, April 20.
