Garmio Mein Kia Hoga! (What Will Happen In Summers)

As we are enjoying the mild weather in the winters of Karachi, it gets quiet at in the night times and feels a little bit more cold than the day. You can hear sounds from far far away, hear leafs falling and being blown all around the street, enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful sightings of Karachi.

In the meantime, you also sometimes don't feel so irritated when the lights go out for hours and hours a in a day hour after hour. But when it does come into subject in groups of friends at the dhabba (chai wala), the most common comment this season is "Garmio mein kia haal hoga, jab sardio mein yea haal hai". Yes we are all worried about what it will be like in the summers when the heat will increase and the air conditionings all over the city will be turned on. If there is shortage of electricty in the winters when the load is minimal (compared to summers) then it is surly hair-raising and sometimes heart-beat-slower to think about the situation of load shedding in summers.

From rapid advancements in technology and IT and constant improvements to the city beauty and infrastructure, we see on one hand, there are, on the other hand, increasing crime rate, job cuts, resource shortage and shrinking, sky high prices, ever-decrasing value of money and a lot more, what do we see as the future of Karachi?

We all are hoping for the best, yet expecting the worst.

Get The ROLL INN Rollin'

The only place in Karachi -in my opinion at least- to get the best chicken cheese rolls is ROLL INN -boat basin, Clifton. This place is so popular, and probably the rolls so delicious that their rolls have become the center of attraction, or more accurately speaking -have literally blinded the curtomers of any other drawbacks in the place! I bumped into a boy from my own neighborhood back in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. I asked him what are you doing here with your buddies, he replied that he was there to eat the rolls! I've gathered some pictures of the place while I was there myself waiting for the "waiter". Finally the waiter arrives and hands over the menu, after deciding what to eat me and my friends moved to the drinks section, guess what! they had "Letter" bottles of soft drinks being printed on the menu! Guess they have put a lot of thought when having those menus printed! Let me explain the magic of these super rolls! This place is so damn small that it can barely ...

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...
