The time for New Year’s resolutions is here.
It is also the time to wonder what resolutions celebrities and political figures will be making in 2012.
Here is our top ten “short and sweet” resolutions list:

1. Asif Ali Zardari: I will not fake another illness (what if they send me to a Pakistani hospital next time).
2. Yousuf Raza Gillani: I will drive myself to work this year (especially when the cameras are rolling).
3. Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry: I will pass another suo moto on Atiqa Odho (Bearer, get me another drink).
4. Shah Mehmood Qureshi: I will be loyal to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (at least until I find something better).
5. Husain Haqqani: I will not plot to change the government on my Blackberry (maybe I’ll switch to an iPhone).
6. Nawaz Sharif: I will abide by my slogan “Go Zardari, Go” (but maybe not at election time).
7. Imran Khan: I will not use cricket analogies anymore (until I’ve been bowled out).
8. Altaf Hussain: I will not reveal my political alliances (parday mein rehnay do…).
9. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani: I will always protect Pakistan’s borders (oh, wait, did they just get Mullah Omar).
10. Veena Malik: I will not do another FHM cover shoot (maybe, I don’t know, let’s see).
