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...

Bomb Threat at Business Avenue

There has been a bomb threat at Business Avenue at Shahrah-e-Faisal. The building has been evacuated and emergency measures has been taken. Bomb disposal squad is searching for the threat at the moment. The picture was taken at 3 in the afternoon which shows ambulances in front of the building and people waiting outside for any confirm reports. One of the pedestrians humorously told that this is just a rumor spread by someone who needed a day off! Other statements highlighted that the treat was made in 11 in the morning some said the building was evacuated around 2 in the afternoon. People standing outside are getting a bit bored, some anxious and a some grumpy! One young individual said "I don't know what they are trying to do, either let us go home or let us go back to our offices" There are still no confirmed reports of the threat or the threat being neutralized. If you get any updates, please share. Also lets pray that noting really happens, I'm sitting in the bui...

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. :)

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

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...
