High on Cocaine! No wonder we're so happy about everything!

A comment published in today’s edition of The News byFarrukh Saleem says that the “Government is high on Cocaine”. Now THAT explains everything! An article that caught my attention after someone sent me the link, had this ‘fact’ published in it.. Hats off to the author for dwelving into some classic investigative journalism! (more…)

Burns Road, Karachi

It started when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade and was learning Urdu reading. My aim was then to read every board while traveling in fast moving school van and that habit still persists as I still try to read walk chalking and graffiti. Last year I saw something that had kept me in entangled and I still am unable to decode it. I found some wall chalkings in different areas of Karachi like DHA, Cantt, Hasan Square and Saddar and there was only single message which was “Ka Diwana Tahreek”. Does any one of you have any clue what this means? or is there a hidden message there at all?

I am starting a new series where I will post things that we spot on a day to day basis, that dont seem right. A lot of people see things that should not be happening but we usually end up turning our eyes away from it. In order to improve the country, it is important that we keep an eye out for people who seem to be breaking the law and using unfair methods. If we keep highlighting these things in the media then the authorities are forced to look at correcting themselves. If we turn a blind eye, we give more freedom for corruption to flourish.

With this series, I will provide a platform for you to help change things in Karachi for the better. In the rapidly upcoming tradition of citizen journalism, I will keep this series open to everyone. Since it is our responsibility to make our city a better place, you can go do your own reporting and send me your photos/videos. I will publish a good selection every week for the benefit of the readers (Submission guidelines are at the end of the post).

TODAY’s SELECTION:
