Unless something actually fell on this car, it looks like it flipped. Apart from the caved in roof, the wind screens (front and back), rear view and side view mirrors were all missing.

Spotted on the roads this morning on the Shaheed-e-Millat extension.

My personal view, I probably would not want to own a beauty such as this, not as long as random dig ups on roads are common.

A fact stated plainly atop Baloch Colony Bridge!

Spotted in one of the city’s 2 major hotels.
Whats tragic, is the fact that how illiterate high powered people are in the civil administration. illiterate enough to be unaware of the correct spelling of ones own department.

There are a plenty of things people write on their cars, some write their name, some put up their star sign but writing “stolen” is surely not that common.

What do you think the owner of the car thought before he got “Stolen” Written behind his car? Because I really can’t think of any logical explanation for this.

“The Azadi car”
This might be a little old but it’s still August, teh month to celbrate “AZADI”. Thought of posting it before August goes.

Saw this car on my way to airport and found it funny. No door, no hassles of locking unlocking!
May be the driver was taking it for repair.

Today, more so than most days, I enjoyed my drive to work, The city just looked cleaner, not as hot, less problems in general. Or maybe it was my state of mind. The first point I should mention about my way to work was that I took a rickshaw. Yes, a rickshaw, and I was able to think! Thats all thanks to brand new Green CNG rickshaws that are hitting the streets in increased numbers.

Only the day before I had seen 2 on the streets! I guess the governments subsidization plan is really working afterall! This rickshaw driver was so happy and proud of his new CNG Rickshaw. He commented on the build of it, how it was stronger in comparison to the flimsy old rickshaws. He smiled and pointed to his ear and said, listen no annoying racket from the loud muffler.
The noise reduction alone made for a much more comfortable ride, as I said, I was able to think for the first time on a rickshaw.
He then mentioned how less of a pollutant it was, and that it is so much better for the environment!

Throughout the journey, on 2 occasions, individuals at stop lights came out of their cars and asked the driver how he likes the new rickshaw, one even circled it commenting on how nice it was.

I asked him the price and his response was rather surprising; he said “thanks to the government and Musharef who has helped subsidize this rickshaw for me, I can really enjoy my livelyhood now”

I looks like the driver has gotten a fresh haircut, a new rickshaw and a great new confidence on the road, knowing that the government actually helped him out, and now he’s become quite the center of attention to curious motorists and somewhat a symbol of jealousy to others still driving the old rickshaws.

It was a pleasant journey, and I for one, like today, will bypass 6 other rickshaws to get my hands on a CNG rickshaw to ride.
It just makes things that much more pleasant while on the road to work.

Have great day!

The Abbreviation I.W.W.W written on this car is underlined respectively by names Imtiaz, Waqas, Waqar, Wajahat which are most probably all the male family members of Saadi Baba’s House. What is the logical explanation for writing “I.W.W.W = Home Sweet Home” on the back of his car is beyond my understanding but one thing is for sure that the owner of this car besides being silly, is also a strict patriarch who thinks his home is Sweet home only because of the male members of the house. Bhi Saadi Baba, I hope you realize that your car scribbling explains a bit too much about you. But then again, thank you for making annoying traffic jams a bit interesting.
