Karachi – A latest view
Specially for those Karachiites who are not in Karachi. Took this one 10 days back. The image originally is a good 4MB file with 3000+ pixel resolution. KMB didn’t allow me that much so i got its resolution & quality down by good 40 percent but still the end result wont disappoint you. Click on the image to view it with normal resolution. Click here to download it to local computer first. (Right click & click on “Save Target As” for IE & “Save Link As” for FF). By the way did anyone notice anything underneath MY BANK board at right side?. Is he really walking or what. And can you guess where i was when i took this pic. This is in line with this post basically.
Inclusion of HBL Plaza (at a little more acute angle) in the pic would have been better.
Oops
when tryin to download i am getting this
“The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later”
Check again.
MB Rocks.

What building is this? How many storeys doe sit have? It seems pretty tall..
Building is MCB Tower.Headquarters of Muslim Commercial Bank. The building is 116 meter high and has 29 floors and 3 parking levels.
WOW!! *thoroughly impressed* thanks
MB, maza aa gaya. Thumbs up :)
any info on how the mcb building looks from the inside? any view from the 29th floor? should be quite good.
IMPRESSIVE PICTURE,
Is this I.I. Chundrigar Road?
Tamed, yeah it is IIC.
The grain in the bigger version adds a lot to the picture.
NICe SHOt !!!!!:D
Thanks a lot,
nice shot but we need a panaromic view where we mix 3-4 pictures …… comon some one should be abel to get a nice one!!!
nice picture I wonder from where the picture was taken as far as i remember theres a railway ground from that position maybe its a zoom from a nearby building or maybe MB stole a hovercraft from the military :P nice pic anyways
MB: I EXTEND TO YOU MANY MANY THANKS for keeping the overseas-karachiites in mind. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a post on KMB esp. written for the homesick souls. REALLY appreciate it, thanks!
Dil khush hogaya!
AWESOME pic.
its so ironic, just the other day, i was using google earth and I saw these angled parked cars but that black building was NOT there..
wow.. thanks for putting my google sense in real picture. How old is that black building? I missed that area this year when I visited Pakiland but i will make sure and visit this view when i visit again in coming sring.
aSaR
Isn’t it weird how out of place the MCB tower looks in that picture? Its good to see development in Karachi. Props to the architects: ASA.
First of all thank you everyone for the appreciation. Well this pic was taken from State life building.
One thing more, i shall be hopefully trying to get a panoramic pic as well. Let’s see how it goes.
MB… Good Shot… Start using a Mac (www.apple.com) things will be much faster n easier.
I & my father work on MCB Tower….if i get chance ill take pic from 25th floor.
Nice!!
good one MB
I showed this picture to few of my colleagues
in UK who were amzaed to see that a city of Pakistan can be like this.
They think we still live in stone age.
ki gul hay tuadi bashaoo!!

cmon man!! da guy is jus walkin!! :)!
final joke of the previous week….”na sir pey asmaan na peroun kay nichay zameen toh pheir yeah mal dar kaisey hain…”
people in karachi wake up very late on a sunday morning….i went to see the famous donkey race once at eleven they were putting up the tambo(tents)…..metropolitan can be printed at eleven and the whole paper can be delivered by noon it will still be an early edition…trust me.
