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...

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. :)
