42. 20.‘X’ had applied for the position ‘Y’ , once shortly
after graduation and the next time in a few years .He
was rejected the first time citing his young age to be a
factor ,but the second rejection came primarily due to
the fact of his character deviation . The year after he
left , the position has been marred by multiple
switches and changes where no suitor lasted more than
a year . Some speculate the position to be jinxed,
while others just blame it on the unworthy candidates .
Give me X && Y.
48. 23.“ I had a terrible dream yesterday with
military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had
such dreams since the launch of the military
operation in Swat. My mother made me
breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid
going to school because the Taliban had issued
an edict banning all girls from attending schools.
My three friends have shifted to Peshawar,
Lahore and Rawalpindi with their families after
this edict. ”
