PULL DOWN!

Shershah Bridge towards gulbaee has fallen down. the latest marvel of Karachi construction is now live for the public. the project that took 5 years to build using foreign assistance had its opening 25 days back. Just about time, before a month could end the bridge has fallen down. There are (as per eye wittinesses) 2 heavy trailers, 1 cultus, 1 donkey cart with the donkey and a few other vehicles are trapped under the pile of concrete. There are still people trapped in the cars. The rescue workers and paramedics are at the scene, work is going on with the speed of snail due to the congested area! there are factories, plants and other bridges around, so there cant be no bigger machinery in order to clear the rubble. This bridge is believed to be build by NHA -run by Pakistani army. We are still not sure how many survived and how may have lost their lives. but our prayers are with the ones how are suffering.

Help an Orphan Girl Get Married

Hello All,   Here is the complete situation.   In my last email I explained the situation of an orphan girl getting married and Rs. 80,000 required for her marriage.

Again I assure you all that I know these people personally and will handover the money to them with my own hands under full responsibility that your money will be used for the task I have mentioned. I know there are a lot of frauds but I have personally researched about these people. There a lot ...

Get The ROLL INN Rollin'

The only place in Karachi -in my opinion at least- to get the best chicken cheese rolls is ROLL INN -boat basin, Clifton. This place is so popular, and probably the rolls so delicious that their rolls have become the center of attraction, or more accurately speaking -have literally blinded the curtomers of any other drawbacks in the place! I bumped into a boy from my own neighborhood back in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. I asked him what are you doing here with your buddies, he replied that he was there to eat the rolls! I've gathered some pictures of the place while I was there myself waiting for the "waiter". Finally the waiter arrives and hands over the menu, after deciding what to eat me and my friends moved to the drinks section, guess what! they had "Letter" bottles of soft drinks being printed on the menu! Guess they have put a lot of thought when having those menus printed! Let me explain the magic of these super rolls! This place is so damn small that it can barely ...
