Mazar-e-Quaid! A True Representation Of The City

... Ashamed! Truly I am!

I've been hearing about videos on YouTube regarding frustrated / desperate couples making love right in the middle of the Mazar-e-Quaid, open air, public display of love and affection (PDA). I've been observing teenage guys watching videos of Pakistani young girls dancing like crazy on events in their schools and personal parties. I kept on wondering, what's happening to the people of Karachi! Have they forgotten their religion? Have they forgotten their identity, their own respect, their own pride! Chains of thoughts leads to blaming of almost everything around us, the TV channels, the movies, the media, the education, the parents, the children themselves, the traditions everything...

Just as it began to build up and something could be said, I've been notified by a blogger on KMB (link probably doesn't work as of now), about an incident that took place in same place, under an apparently different topic.

A young woman was drugged and raped in a room of Mazar-e-Quaid. It is indeed a shocking and horrifying incident, but I'm not here to comment on the rights of women, the government laws or the corrupt public.

All I want to notify is the fact that how true is the representation of what happened in the place and whats happening to the country. The reason why this Mazar is there and the one whose mazar is it, did not stand for this to happen ever. In fact, he stood with intent of the exact opposite.

I'm done putting blames on everyone around and I'd recommend all the bloggers around to avoid doing the same. I'm not an angel, why should I expect others to be one. I'm not perfect, why should I expect others to be as perfect as we think they should be. Before commenting on anything, try to think what YOUR part is in it. Is it just to comment?

Just think for once, what if everyone tries to rectify himself or make a considerable gesture before he puts a blame or curse anyone, wouldn't life be better? The smallest gesture is to educate others do the same...

Bloody Horses

I don't know if someone has observed this piece of "Art" on shara-e-faisal or not. for me it is a painful and quite disturbing image. being a designer myself i can understand what the designer was supposed to make, but he ended up portraying the exact opposite of that concept. It is more like this that the horses are sucked into the wall, their faces show agony and there is blood all over the wall. Instead it was supposed to show the power what the horses posses that they can come tearing out of the barriers. There are so many sights in Karachi that has been displaying rather useless / worthless demonstrations of so-called art, i believe this is just a result of getting things done the easier way and not considering the quality-factor at all.
