The Pre-Dusk

....And now its time, time when they have been exhausted, they have been hungry. The sun is about to set and the sirens are about to go off. This is the time when the watches are being watched the most through out the year, a second of which seems to pass extraordinarily slow. Women in the kitchen, men around the kitchen and kids probably be out with friends, flying kite or just hanging out, some of which make fake siren sounds to fool the crowd! Finally the moment comes, the sirens go off, its time to pray the dua and break the fast. The ever-new pakoray, phulkiyan, chanay, dahi baray type of iftari items fills up every dinning tables in every home. Just after 20 to 30 minutes they have eaten so much that they just want to crash down on the bed and take a nap. Thats the spirit of ramzan and the rozay!

Karachi: Lots of Problems - Just One Solution. Train The Masses on the road!

By
I've been noticing traffic in Karachi for a long time now, and I think there is one solution "proper traffic laws" that can improve the situation of almost all over Karachi by training its people collectively. My though is that by implementing the law on the road, masses can be trained and when masses are trained the whole society improves. So here is my theory... I'm sharing these thoughts with you so that we can somehow make it work. OBSERVATIONS: A couple of my observations about Karachi Traffic are There are lanes, but no concept of lanes. There are speed limits, but there is never any limit to speed. There are three lights of signals, but only recognizable signal is the beamer from the on coming vehicle. There are left turns and there right turns, but most preferred are the "inappropriate turns". Going "wrong way" is the right way of driving. Use the indicators when done switching lanes or turning Honking is just like warm greetings, t...

Man vs. Market - By Kulsoom (extremely well written)

By
Original Link: Men vs. Markets : " “He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.” By H.H. Munro The above has proven to be correct for Syed Muzzamil Hussain Shah, a young scout who embraced martyrdom on 28th December, 2009 in Ashur procession blast in Karachi. But how many of us remember him? Or do we remember any of those who got killed that day? Off the record over 75 people got killed on that day while participating in the procession. We remember none but burned shops because that’s what being over-run on media. Sometimes significance of material takes over the precious lives. I wonder why and who called lives precious since they are not anymore. We have better things to show and cry over, such as loss of Rs.30 billion, stolen arms, and arguing and blaming political parties. Government of Pakistan announced Rs. 500,000 for the deceased and Rs.100,000 for injured but these funds will take time to arrive in the hand of families. With the increasing infl...
