Maryam Nawaz may be tweeting thinking the storm is over but she is not paying heed to Catwoman’s predictions. “There is a storm coming Mr Sharif. You and your party members better batten down the hatches, because when it hits you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”
16. I see containers, containers everywhere

A year in Pakistan cannot be completed without at least one dharna. We do not have public parties or mass celebrations anymore. Our best bet to come together and dance is at a PTI dharna.
15. Coke Studio will move to the north of Islamabad

11. Everything belongs to the Sun
Experts believe that it was a typo on the part of Nostradamus and what he meant to say was everything belongs to the ‘son’ and the daughter should get nothing in inheritance.

1. Either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives
PHOTO: REUTERS/EXPRESSBe it judicial commissions, Panama Leaks or dhandlee, Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan will continue playing their little dance throughout the year. Whether it is the year Imran finally manages to “Yes He Khan” or it is another “Year of the Sharifs?” the only thing that’s certain is news channels will continue getting high ratings pitting the two against each other.
And unlike the Harry Potter saga, this story is not ending anytime soon. Unless of course, prediction number 17 comes true.
