With a hit in my business - and I suppose it's true in any business - you're working so hard and things are moving so fast that you don't really stop and think, Wow, look at all this money that's coming in. You think more, Wow, I can finally afford a dedicated sound person. I can finally afford a backdrop.

Indeed, Musharraf's options are few. Since stepping out of his military uniform last November, and being shorn of his parliamentary base in February, his authority has sharply diminished. But there is one arrow he can still reach for in his fast-emptying quiver: the power to dissolve parliament. Described as "the nuclear option," it would plunge Pakistan into a fresh phase of deep uncertainty and could even lead to unrest in the streets as each half of the coalition maneuvered to win full control of Parliament.
