Here’s one of my favorites - The arty-farty glass, the embossed service announcement standing at the back entrance parking lot of the Pearl Continental Hotel in Karachi. The smallest of signs are now being touched with some beautiful aesthetics. However in the case of this sign, I must have stood at entrance of the PC countless times, wondering how the management at the PC could allow something so small yet so in-your-face be mispelled. Regardless, I still find it interesting to talk about with the Valets that are standing around there.

There are things we consider our fate and caused by natural calamities, and then there are repercussions of our own ignorance. In order to avoid the FTC-Shara-e-Faisal traffic, I sometimes take the Kala-Pul diversion into Azam Basti to go torwards the Regent Plaza road. This photograph is of the road just outside the World Food Program office, on your way to the National Hockey Club and the Askari Apartments. It is unfortunate that though these areas may not fall under the Ciy Nazim’s watch, that the rainwater, combined with flooding drain pipes, make one side of the 2-way road, completely unusable and a threat to a lot of diseases we can do without. What stops a resident of the area from doing something about a situation like this?
