Photo Story: In Preparations Of Eid At Tariq Road
Tariq road is presenting a dazzling light show these days, full of life and colors as shoppers flock from all over the city to enjoy and shop extravagantly for Eid.
Artificial jewelry and fashion accessory shops are the most crowded spots At Rariq Road, and most of the shoppers are women and children shopping for colorful bangles, jewelry, handbags and other accessories to match their Eid outfits.
Artificial jewelries on road side stalls are being preferred while shops are being avoided due to the price difference. This shop has absolutely no customer while the other roadside stall is crowded.
Venders who want to make a few extra bucks for their family or them selves this Eid have made make shift shops on foot paths, Some have even set up their shops on the hood of cars.
These Poor hawkers too earn more than the usual during Eid proving the Eid shoppers a snack or two to enjoy while they shop. For them these few extra bucks earned during the Eid season are a blessing.
Most are busy shopping, others selling, enjoying the Eid season while this poor crippled man, almost invisible in the dazzling lights and the moving crowds dragging him self is begging to be noticed.
They should be conserving energy in a city so deprived of basic amenities, instead of wasting it in the name of Eid. People need to know that Eid isnt all about flashiness, and IMO it shouldn’t be (especially in KHI where daily power outages are often a problem).
@Ali
Abey kion rung main bhang dalta hai, khabees?
don’t be a party pooper… let ppl enjoy it. Hopefully they will work full time and better after Eid :)
Wow Wow Wow !
Mashallah!
May Allah keep the evil eyes away!
Eid Mubarak guys
Too bad cant join you personally but you will be in my heart.
Thanks Jamsh now it’s feel like Eid. Hope you guys keep the festive mood at KMB at least for couple of days.
Eid Mubarak to everyone
Ali,
Unlike oil or gas in a pipeline, electricity cannot easily be stored. It must be generated and delivered at the precise moment it is needed. Read More here

Suppliers in Pakistan should produce more electricity to match the demand and charge public fairly. If it’s too difficult we should look into Nuclear Power plants which are very popular in France and other countries.

Thanks for sharing. Lovely pics. keep em coming.
Beautiful captures, Jamash
Cool pictures with good comments.

Luv ya Karachi.
Very nice pictures; good work Jamash. These pics remind me of good old days of “shopping” @ Tariq road on Chaand raat (if you guys know what I mean :D)
These are the scenes that I miss so very much!! I remembsr how much I dreaded driving my sisters to the Bazaars, night after night during the last week of Ramzaan, but my mother wont let me shy away from that duty, that really tested my patience. On the flip side I also went with my friends and that was altogether a different experience. Here are some lines that I want to share;
Yaar usney smile dee thee yaar!
Chor bhae…Khawab tou nhein dekh raha.
Usne Kaha thaa woh yahein chaat waley key pass melay gee.
Shit…Mein card tou bhool he ayaa!
Great pics! and have Fun on Eid!

2. Yaar, I could see her eyes, and the laal burqa was slim, so she must be pretty
etc etc

What a wonderful way of you taking time to describe Eid shopping and fun at Tariq Road.People do need to see happy and merry posts around Eid time specially.
Please keep up the good work.Also encourage people to take time to do more charitable work and help the unfortunate folks.Life is about once you get your needs met go out and give it to others.
This is what we do with OneUmmah Foundation worldwide.Have a merry Eid but dont forget your poor neighbors.

Who wears the lal burqa? :)
and guys and gals dont push and shove during shopping I hate that. Only ask him/her politely if they want to be pushed. :)
Beautiful pictures Jamash. Super Crisp..
Thanks a million for sharing. :)
Great work Jamash.
ALAM :) well we didnt had to deal with the burqa dilemna, I can only sympathize with the current lot. However, when you watch Pakistani Music Channels I am filled with envy. Dont know what to make of the paradox. But lets not be serious.
BTW nothing has changed for the chori wala’s, burqa or no burqa.
These beautiful full of life pictures remind me the days I used to spent on Chand Raat on Tariq Road and Clifton with my family. Being overseas such delightful events are just a good memory.
Mats. EID MUBARAK to all my country men and women.
Very Nice!

@ Mohammad Akram….cool itt dude!!….restrain from using Mullah force….become an example and people will listen to you!!….don’t ruin Eid through ure “Church’s” tactics of 11th century!!
Tariq Road with all the lights and the people looks great.
Mohamad Akram. Why don’t you put on a dhamaka belt and go to a madrassa and attain jannath with your friends. Then you don’t have to see average people enjoying themselves and feel bad for us.
Eid Mubarak to everyone!
Subhan-Allah … what an illuminated night :)
How beautiful is my city … i pray Eid becomes a wonderful reason for all friends, lovers, young and old, to come a little closer. Great post.
Eid MUBARAK!
Lag ja gale ke phir ye haseen raat, ho naa ho
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat, ho naa ho
Hum ko mili hain aaj ye gharyaan, naseeb se
Jee bhar ke dekh lijye ap hum ko, qareeb se
Phir aap ke naseeb me ye baat, ho naa ho
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat, ho naa ho
Paas aaeeye ke hum naheen aayenge, baar baar
Baahein gale mein daal ke hum ro lein, zaar zaar
Aakhon se phir ye pyaar ki barsaat, ho naa ho
Shayad phir is janam mein mulaqaat, ho naa ho
