A new Bowling Alley

There is a recent addition in the bowling alleys of the city, the latest one opened on 3rd floor of millennium mall (Rashid Minhas Road). This mall is located opposite to Askari 4 and behind the ground where once stood cityís only Drive in Cinema. Although I havenít been there yet, but it surely is in my to-do list. Yet so far what I have heard about this place is, there are seven lanes but those are bit short in length as compared to area 51(not sure about game fee, maybe its 175 per game). But still I would welcome it since it is very much ìin the cityî, might be perfect for those who just want to have a game and avoid the long drive. But than it has its disadvantage too, there are high chances it will always be flooded considering its location. Lets see, I shall post more after I bring down few pins there.

How disgraceful one can get first of all by sitting in ladies compartment in a public bus then having the guts to stare at them. Conductor had no issues with it since he was getting the fare so why would he care and well the females I am sure they must be sulking deep down inside, wanting to get off as soon their stop comes.

Street Children

The ever growing number of street children in Karachi is a serious issue. According to an estimate there are about 14-15 thousand in Karachi and growing. Almost all of them are living in worst living conditions. Last year Fatima Surriya Bajya inaugurated a drop in center with the name of ìDastakî (Source Jang.com.pk\thenews). The idea is to rehabilitate children under 12 and provide them better shelter and conditions. I believe more such shelters should come up where such children are provided education and shelter. These are their most basic rights, they shouldnít be deny those.
