Scared Terror

8th of April, needless to write about stupid politicians being beaten up and aggression on the roads, the next day. Fleeing from office around 5 in the evening I reached my area safely but quite late due to heavy traffic. Near yaseenabad, I came across this gas station which was shield-closed with the tent walls. I was to drop a friend but I stopped to take a snap. As the picture speaks the bikers await desperately for fueling. I did not notice at the time that one man was approaching me while i was taking the picture. I later discovered that I did capture him. If u notice closely he's the person stepping out from the bikes and looking towards me. Just as I put my cell in the pocket he arrived and asked what and whose picture I took, two more "decent" guys approached me and asked me to show them the picture, after a bit of hitch I showed them the picture while holding the phone in my hand. He asked me why did I take this picture. I told him that I'm a reporter and I will write an article about this.

Anyway, he couldn't see the image from the cell in my hand so he asked to hold my cell in his hands, I wasn't letting go of my cell phone, but then I gave it to him. I asked him if he's satisfied by the picture. He told me that he was satisfied, I again asked him if he wants me to delete it, he replied no. I then asked if I could have my cell phone back. I took it and continued my way on...

I later realized that they were actually the ones who had kept the pump closed and were afraid if I had captured them in picture. I believe that all the people creating violence and chaos are either mentally unstable or they are scared as hell...

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

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)

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...
