I've never understood why filthily rich people want to acquire more wealth. Our politicians have so much money that the grandchildren of their grandchildren can live comfortably on their wealth. Yet, like Zardari, they loot the people every day without considering that their victims (the people of Pakistan) are struggling to stay alive.
I've never met the lady doctor herself although I have walked past her clinic many times whenever I've gone to get my eyes examined in the DHA Medical Center near my house. But I have known her brother Mushtaq since I was six. He, like me, was also a student of St. Patrick's High School. For a couple of years he was also in my class at NED Engineering.
He, poor chap, was always being teased and mocked for being very effeminate (he still hates me for teasing him in those days, even though now he's a strict heavily bearded fundamentalist). In fact, he would have become my relative if his engagement to the sister of my recently deceased brother-in-law had not been broken (this happened more than fifty years ago).
The strange thing is that the lady doctor was already very rich. She had a good income from her profession as a child specialist, so why did she do something so blatantly illegal?
