1. To celebrate this Unicorn Gallery has organized an exhibition on 20 and 21 November featuring photographs taken around Karachi by Street kids. Kids have taken photos for the first time, trained under Arif Mehmood. Timings of the gallery are 11 am – 8 pm. Reasonably priced, beautiful photos. Proceeds go directly to the kids.

Gallery section is designed well, video section is a broken link and “About us” is also incomplete. Not sure if this flash-loader is a good idea here. Better skip to main content. Reason i am posting this is people want to jump onto “kaam kee baat” i.e some snaps or animals and contact which is very much there.

But this is not the point i wanted to make here. My point was does the officer sitting in this vehicle understands how their decisions in one era create a huge impact for the future generations? Does he understand that this “TERRORIST” is their product from GHQ laboratories of 80z/90z. That he (and his org) is equally responsible for all the mess along with weak political setups. We cant allow them to simply incite religious emotions at one time for Jihad and then take a U-turn after 2 decades. The question , we , as citizens be asking these fellows is, now that they are feeling the heat, will they not repeat history and have they understood well the old quote : As you sow so shall you reap. We cant allow our ARMY to manufacture one WHOLE NEW GENERATION of JIHADIST and push the EXIT button on a call from Washington. As that creates million jobless Jehadist who cant be integrated into rest of the society.

We strongly need to tell them that please clean your own mess first before you EXIT.

Who can guarantee that our karta-dhartaz are not planning PROJECT-JIHAD v.2 once we are done with this “inteha-pasandi” mess. Are we learning from history or just passing a difficult phase?

Anticipating her intentions to run away from the scene of the crime I quickly went back into my car to grab my camera. By the time I was able to extract the camera, she was already in her car going in reverse, I aimed my camera and took a few quick shots before she raced away, When I last saw the car it was turning towards bath island.

Although the damage to may car was only a dent on the rear door, while her car too only had a scrapped bumper, the sad thing about the whole incident was her complete ignorance to traffic rules, lack of patience she showed while driving, and the worst of it was the fact that she didn’t even had the audacity to apologies. But maybe she was right, because the way the city works, I may have been a typical guy who would have harassed her in broad day light, may even have revealed a weapon and would have mugged her taking advantage of her politeness and confession, so I really don’t blame her for the way she reacted, may be I would have done the same if I was in her place, or maybe I wouldn’t even have stepped out of my car.

now i really wonder what would you have done if you were in a situation as her’s ?
