I could still remember the early days of 1991-1992 when I witnessed the first shooting between APMSO and Jamiat and the class teacher asked us to hide under the benches.IT WAS SCARY !!!!!!! also I could remember our URDU teacher Sir Kamal Kibriya who slapped an APMSO student for misbehaving.But all n all I great architecture.Thanks to th BRITISHERS !!!!!!!!!!

Zainub, if you really liked DJ’s building for it’s architecture and old structure, then I would higly recommend you to visit BVS Parsi High School. It was my school and I am proud of it. A visit will tell you itself as the building speaks for it’s self

@Imran,
The reaon I asked for post about “sheesha” is that it is more dangerous than smoking because sheesha has not been officially declared prohibited(or Napasandeeda act)for minors inclduing girls/boys in our culture and has been looked at as a cool thing specially in burger class.
This growing culture of having Sheesha bar will have a great negative impact on a young generations. I was in Karachi few months ago and went to one of the sheesh place (forgot the name) and was shocked to see young girls/boys having fun with Sheesha in the presence of thier elder family members (at least youngsters hide smoking from their elders)
Smoking sheesha or cigerates both are bad for health but this grwoing culture is ruining our social values where we are even affraid to accept that we smoke infront of our elder relatives.

Imran,

that idea about “sheesha” is interesting.

Though prohibiting/debate on smoking should be on a higher priority than sheesha, as its more prevalent, dont you think?

NB: I dont smoke cancer-sticks or sheesha :)

On topics folks, on topic. Keep it on topic.

Imran,

Just re-read, you’re right. The dates seem messed up, I’ll confirm and correct them ASAP. Thanks for pointing that out.
