It has been quite a while since I last wrote something about Karachi on my Blog. Maybe because I have been struggling hard to get my life back into rhythm. There are a number of issues to deal with as of today when you live in a city like Karachi and when the economy and the country itself is trembling.
Besides all the development and betterment Karachi has gone through lately, there are some issues that has to be addressed and taken quite seriously now.
Couple of days back, almost three nights in a row I couldn't sleep because of some weddings going on in the next street. When the loud and extremely bad quality cheap Indian music took a break after almost 4 hours, come the fireworks and the gun fires!
The driving force for me to write this was a post where the same issue is faced by Faisal K and I am totally with him on this one.
I will quote the words of Faisal as my words for this particular issue...

I appeal to the city government to make and enforce the one dish rule as well as a noise pollution rule for us Karachites and enforce it with its full power to ensure both the regular supply of edibles in the local market and a peaceful nights sleep for all of us, even if it is in complete darkness.
Punishment to those breaking this rule should be to consume their offered buffet for one week straight while listening to the nerve racking sounds of pappu can’t dance salaa!
