Karachi Nights
Last night, after many weeks of feeling secretly demoralized with the city, I felt the Karachi spirit rise up inside me again at the culmination of a Foundation Year project at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture. An event management project held by the first year for the friends, alumni and students, Karachi Nights was a comment on everything we love and crib about, in this dusty city of ours. From the dinner food served on the roadside thelas a la Burns Road and Boat Basin style, to the gorgeously done twinkling lights and stars, all the way to the W-11 passenger personalities, ethically mismatched love stories, timechecks, annoying ads and qawwalis, it was a hilariously true tribute to Karachi in every sense of the word. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open to public for many reasons (one being that it was an actual graded project) but it is something that one can definitely request them to go public with. After all, Karachi loves attention.
This is jammie, signing out.
wish i could have seen it..
do let us know if they ever go public, i’d love to attend.
the picture looks really nice despite the fact that we cant see much :-)
i wish it was open for public though, would’ve been a relief coz lately m kinda disappointed wid my city….

Waqis, just wondering why is that a good news? Thanks.
Nnothing can be banned in PK. Last time I checked PORn is still being filmed in Rainbow Center, so I Am sure the people who loved the book will get to see the ‘kancha’ print very soon.
P.S. Was the govt hybernating when the book was being sold on every stall and book store. Talk about hypocrisy. Bah !

Porn cant be banned anywhere.By the way did you check yourself?I am asking because unless you have some special terms with shopkeepers you cant have any porn CD in your hand.

they had no shitty idea about that particular novel.They came to know about movie ONLY after banning in different parts of the world
@Adnan, no i did not check myself LOL . Sorry to disappoint you but i won’t be able to “hook you up” The last thing i need in my life is Pakistani Porn. But I work with men and get to hear all sorts of stories and rundowns (even if i don’t want to). As for banning of the movie after the ban in different countries I salute the free thinking nation of Pakistan. B.Sh….
