Keep the City Green and Jammed

Since the last few weeks I've been noticing an unusual traffic congestion between Ayesha Bawani School and Regent Plaza - shortly ahead I find a water tanker in the right most lane causing the traffic to divert into the remaining two lanes. What it was doing there is watering the green plants on the footpath to keep the city green. The speed of the tanker was not more than 2.5 km/h.

Its 10:30 AM, its rush hour and they are caring well enough to focus on the plants rather than on the traffic problem. I agree that this is the best time to water the plants (photosynthetically), but nothing will change if they do it after 11:30. The traffic at that time is a bit lighter.

I appreciate how much they are doing for the city, but at the same time, I feel sad for how less brains are being used while doing anything around here...

Why We Love Karachi - Aansoon ko sharaab kehtay hein! :)

Irony! A devotee of Prophet (saw) claims it on his car sub-woofer.

I saw this car at bahadurabad today, very interestingly what it says is "Mairay Maan Baap ap per qurban, Ya Rasul Allah SAW". (sorry for the poor quality picture, it was dark at night) :) This seems to mean that the person is willing to sacrifice his / her parents in the name of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw), unless it means that "Only my parents are a big fan / devotee of Your's (saw) and not me", it is quite an irony to see the big sub-woofer stuffed at the back of the car with some very good quality speaker system. I'm pretty sure that none of the Tilawat-e-Quran needs a big sub-woofer system to be played on. As we know that a sub woofer is used to produce bass, which is a low frequency below 150 hz down to 20hz or low, while the vocals are best when the ranges b/w 500Hz and 2 Khz are high (arrange your media player equalizer to see the results) Although, I did not hear it playing music so I can not blame the person for being a lier or a show off ma...

Yellow and Blue is coming!

You might have seen this hoarding all over Karachi by now. Today I thought I should blog about it and see what people think about what it could be. At the top of my head, it stuck me as www.bestbuy.com , some of the teasers do say best buy as well. But some say great vale and some say things about experience. I think the chances for it to be bestbuy.com is pretty great, most of the signs leads us to think that. Specially the color scheme is exactly the same. If not then it will most probably be something digital or onlinr, I suppose. To save me from embarrassment I'd like to hear what you people think of it. :)
