Mera Karachi... !!

Call it dirty, call it polluted.. but there really is no place like Karachi! Its been raining loads since yesterday.. and though Karachi ain't exactly 'made for' baarish, its been great!

I took random pictures earlier.. cuz: a) i love the rain - and we don't get to see it much .. b) there was no light, and i had nothing to do .. and c) it was pretttyy!!! :p

.. Just after it stopped raining!


.. Some neighbours chowkidaar! :p


I repeat, Karachi aint made for the rains.. there was no electricity for over 24 hours at most places, horrible traffic jams.. n lots n lots of puddles!!

Btw, at this house, there were these two little girls who'd been shouting n screaming alll day to be allowed to go out.. cuz they wanted to sail paper boats in this puddle outside!! So, all day we could hear them, n the mum shouting 'Andar aajao sharaafat se.. aapko kuch samajh nahi aata!' :p

Messy neighbours i guess, that's what happens if you don't clean up on time.. :p


*siiigh* :)

Hey your first picture of the birdie on the lamp post is almsot same as the one I send you yesterday. What a coincidence!! I love the beach, the sky, the clouds in that one.

My Uncle went to Karachi and liked it though he liked Lahore more (don't hit me now)

You really made good use of no-lights... :D

Second picture really shows how rainy it must have been. Sadly, we don't get these kinda rains out here and I miss it.

Chowkidar looks like in trouble and Reema jee is clicking the poor man's picture instead of offering some help like saving it in some boat or something...lol

It almost looks like the whole place was flodded or something...

Ok, I remember this song from movie Betaab...

Baadal yoo garajata hain, darr kuchh aisa lagata hain,
Chamak chamak ke, lapak ke ye bijali hum pe gir jaayegee...

Baahar bhee toofaan, andar bhee toofaan, beech mein do tufaanon ke ye sheeshe kaa makaan,
Aise dil dhadakataa hai, dar kuchh aisa lagataa hai..

Ye diwaanee shaam, ye toofaanee shaam, aag barasatee hain saawan main, paanee kaa hain naam,
Bas kuchh bhee ho sakataa hai, darr kuchh aisa lagataa hai

Tobaa husna-ye-yaar, badale rang hazaar, sharm kabhee aatee hain aur kabhee aataa hain pyaar,
Dekhe kaun thartha hai, darr kuchh aisa lagataa hai

Tum baithho us paar, hum baithhe is paar, aao apne beech banaa le, hum koi diwaar,
Dil fir bhee mil sakataa hai, dar kuchh ayesaa lagataa hai...
