Lyari and football
The beleaguered residents of Lyari finally have something to smile about - the football World Cup. An area that is wracked with crime, violence, drugs and, lately, illegal forced evictions (for the much criticised expressway) is getting a respite from crime during the World Cup.
It’s good to finally have some positive news out of Lyari . The residents’ joie de vivre this football season is a bit like the atmosphere in Brazilian favelas. Let’s hope the electricity stays on through Brazil’s matches - else the party atmosphere may quickly turn into riots.

Hats Off to the residents of Lyari, who despite being engulfed in such abject poverty and deprivation have the courage to push these aside and enjoy a truly global event.
I will proudly go and share this piece of news with my Brazilian friends.
