Confessions of a Tea addict (Chai ka Charsi)

To get to this, let’s go back 1 Year so that you can get a glimpse of the entire “God forbid” situation.My friends have come back from their universities abroad for their extra long vacations. Now when they are here, they expect me to keep them entertained and that’s what a good friend should do, that’s what I did. Ramadan is up; therefore we have a lot of “scenes” where we stay at this friend’s

Rain is a blessing

Rain is a blessing for Karachiites, which is rarely bestowed.Its a natural shower which doesn't only washes everything externally but gives everyone a spiritual clean up.It washes away all the negativity in human mind and gives it a much needed dose of optimism which is reflected by the vast sky filled with beautiful clouds.Rain makes everything look so gorgeously stunning. The clouds, droplets

No More Guarantees

"In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."~Friedrich NietzscheWe are falling a part. From where we have started falling is very difficult to say but we are falling a part. There are no more guarantees anymore by anyone. Once we have left the vicinity of our homes, we are not sure that we will make it to our families by the time of dinner.

04th January, 2011

4th January, 2011 was the longest day for Pakistan. With an attack on a school bus followed by killing of a professor and ended up with an assassinating Governor of Punjab. There are neither rules nor limits to this ugly game anymore. Anyone can be or becomes a target. The object here is to terrorise the masses which is successful so far.A remote controlled bomb has ripped through a bus carrying

Justice and Revenge

The law and order situation in Karachi is completely out of control.March 15th, 2011 and around 36 people have died in just four days. The promises of State to provide protection and justice are like pie crust, made to be broken. There is no sign of remedy anywhere in this anarchy. The citizens of Karachi have finally crossed the thin line that has long separated revenge from justice. This

Karachi: The city that burnt

28th December, the city of lights lost its heritage as the oldest and the most revenue generating business hub costing billions of Rupees and priceless family traditions caught ablaze by those who are knowingly unknown. Such occult practices burnt clusters of business communities to ashes. People lost assets worth millions and there is no justification for the quantifiable loss they have to

In the Memory Of Moin Akhter

Undoubtedly, Moin Akhtar was a comic genius. He had comedy lovers across Pakistan and beyond guffawing at his natural wit long before Pakistani entertainment became what it is today - glamorous, glossy, heavily-financed and yet often mundane. Moin began his foray into Pakistani comedy back when all we had was theatre and the one TV channel. But for

Truth is stranger than fiction??

I find the weirdest things to be thought provoking..While returning home yesterday I read this phrase on the rear shield of a car, and I've been thinking about it ever since..Never mind what exact words made up that phrase,'cause living in Karachi Ive learned alot of people don't even give a damn about what grammar or posture are they composing their statements upon *rolls eyes*..In simple

Things I Love and Hate about Karachi

Things I love about Karachi:SEA:Obviously, sea is the only feature which makes Karachi distinct from all other cities in Pakistan. It is the only city to be blessed with such exquisite, breath-taking locations. A place where Karachiites can go and refresh themselves. A place where they can go and leave behind all the stress of their busy schedules. This is hands-down the top most reason why

Karachi the city of lights

Karachi,the Pakistani version of the city of  lights,it is only called the city of lights according to my thinking because of the bomb blasts and tire burning.I think almost every day  cars are burnt, tires are burnt and bombs are blasted.This all happens because of some political mafia  who have their hands dirty in a lot of conspiracy and deaths.You can't imagine how many people are killed

The New Lays Limited Edition

I don't know when I turned into a chips critic, but here I am. Blogging about the four new flavors that Lays has come up with for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. I got all today from Chase. Oh you know the one next to Naheed supermarket. The pack says 15 rupees but they charged just 14. No wonder Naheed Supermarket seems deserted now.Anyway, I am posting them according to my liking.
