We have been observed lot of development in last few years in Karachi. But traffic problem is becoming worst day by day. In my personal experience, the distance which took around 30 minutes to reach a destination a year before now it takes not less than 30 minutes.
In your opinion, who is the responsible of traffic jams in Karachi?
- Public: because people don’t care about rules and still want to use incorrect paths regardless the impact?
- City Government: because they didn’t plan properly and creating problems for public?
- Traffic Police: because they are failed to control traffic properly?

I am confused. I asked few but no satisfactory answer. What actually the woman wants to convey? What is it about? A line ” a LOVER OF nabeel gasbol(pakistani politision ” is added by the photographer. Dont know if it is so.

October 5 is Teacher’s Day in Pakistan. It recognizes the importance of teachers and attributes progress to the quality of teachers in Pakistan’s Educational System. There are approx 30,000 ghost schools in Pakistan. They exist on paper but not in reality. This ghost school is situated near baldia town Karachi with no teachers or students but some old furnisher and big China lock on the gate.

Pakistan is country under the occupation of a feudal Conglomerate consisting of different components (show at right side in a chart). While people have almost complete freedom of movement they are restricted by design in their thinking through the very same components that makeup this setup. Terror is one of the productive weapons of this setup to keep its occupation tight. This occupation is never discussed in electronic and print media which is itself a baby in an atomic age and is hardly able to come out of the roti, kapra, makan slogan. Under the very same occupation some media groups, civil society and courts have tried to get rid of this setup and it is too early to judge if they will succeed.
You must have all seen this video which is at least not a surprise for me since we know the reality is worst than what we can imagine. This video below, however is related to Karachi. I have full sympathy to these fellows terrorized by one of the components of this feudal setup (the rangers). If they had any proof of the wrong doings the law should have taken its course but as you will see, the “official” terrorist abuse law and beat the fellows just because they belong to a particular ethnicity.

Government has increased electricity rate by 6% but I have a 6-step formula for cheap electricity.
Step 1: Find a suitable place near electricity pole and place a bamboo as starting point.
Step 2: Place few more bamboos to take electric wire to your home without any clue left.
Step 3: If you find any place to plug your wire on pole just do it.
Step 4: Hurray you have configured a very cheap system power solution
Step 5: Just pay few hundred rupees to local KESC guys as service charges
Step 6: Relax and smile for the camera for this achievement.

These buses are so popular or people are out of ideas that people named places on the route number of these buses. for example “2K ka akhri stop” which is somewhere near sakhi hasan or “W11 ka akhri stop”
I don’t know how these buses get their names but it seems 2K inpiration is from K2.
For years I used my student card in these buses. We use to pay only 75 Paisa at that time.
