Wow! Great pics!
I have a love-hate relationship with Karachi. It's dirty, disorganized, noisy, has lots of petty crimes. But it also has very poor-friendly people, wonderful winter weather, the most 'liberal' feel for any Pakistani cities and in July/August, the monsoon, despite lots of mess, is a wonderful experience.
There's no other like Karachi - the ONLY mega city of Pakistan. That's exactly why Pakistani Governments destroyed it. This city created great amount of jealousy in them. They pampered Lahore and Islamabad but they didn't care for Karachi despite the fact that Karachi has given SO MUCH to Pakistan almost unquestioned.
Karachi runs due to her people while governments just collect extortion from it. That's the story from Karachi.
I always think that Pakistani rulers give excuse that Balochistan is not developed due to illiteracy and feudal mindset...tribal society etc blah blah....okay, fine.
But what excuse these fu**ers* can make when it comes to Karachi? Why didn't they develop Karachi?
Karachi had none of these problems/issues that Balochistan continues to have to this date. In fact Karachi was totally opposite and yet they destroyed Karachi out of jealousy and inferiority complex - which means they only know how to loot and plunder places of others while they will pamper their own cities.
My blood boils when I think of this.
What gives me little hope is that Karachiites are really angry BUT still have fight left in them.
They will not leave Karachi to dogs. Anger and desperation is quite real here.
One day, Karachi will be sorted out and she will march to gain new heights. People here still wants to see Karachi gain her past glory back.
A city which my forefathers made their home.
I will love her to my last breath.
