Last week, most cities across the metroblogging network participated in a network-wide series in which each city shared 7 entities from that city that could be regarded as gifts. We also actively participated in this motion and came up with 7 gifts from Karachi. For those of you who missed the series, here is a recap.

Gift 7: Pakola Ice Cream Soda
Gift 6: W-11 The Bus
Gift 5: Shopping in Saddar
Gift 4: Mohatta Palace
Gift 3: Nihari
Gift 2: Habib Bank Plaza
Gift 1: Abdul Sattar Edhi

Which one did you enjoy the most? My favorite is Nihari. I actually had some nihari after reading about it.

    Nehari is not unique to Karachi, you can find it in other cities as well ( nor even its origin goes back to Karachi ) though everybody loves it :)

    I believe Burns road is the gift!

    Generally speaking, they were nice picks. Though I think the lamest was Habib Bank Plaza. May be it has meant a lot to us over the years. But we’re talking about giving a gift to the world. And our dear Habib Bank Plaza does not offer anything special or unique. To the world, its just another grey medium-rise building. May be something more authentic like Students’ Biryani or Hakeem Saeed’s phenomenal philanthropy would have been a better choice.

    iam not sure if iam allowed to speak my heart out here ….but if iam i’d say that to me the whole KARACHI is a gift that i don’t really deserve……THANKYOU DEAR LORD…!

    Btw,a friend(not a lawyer..) told me that if they track you down all you have to do is delete your account and junk your computer….unless ofcourse,if you are a US senator/congressman…..lol.

    we really cheated with our nihari gift..the others were great although Sadequains phenomenal works of art were somehow overlooked.

    @Ash: i have the same feeling, Nihari is a Dehlvi dish. We have many things which are so popular here but don’t belong to karachi, so should we put them as a gift too??

    wonderful…so what about Agha khan,Tahir khan(mulla) and Mir Shakilur rahman….arn’t they all from karachi or not a gift….?

    PHOOL SEY HUM NEY KHUSHBOO CHENEY
    SEEP SEY HUM NEY MOTI PAAY…..
    HUM SA HO TOH SAMNEY AAAY….HUM SA HO TOH…..

    Prince Karim Aga Khan is actually not from karachi, but if you meant AKU then actually yes i agree its a gift.
