Karachi ...

Here i am updatin my blog after a long time and what better topic i can get then this one to start my bloggin once again :) ..

Its been 2 weeks since i am back from my city Karachi, Pakistan and memories are still fresh and alive. The three weeks went like a rocket but each day was better than the other (ohh apart from the last 3 days - you know what happened on 27th dont you?)

Here are few of the highlights of my three weeks in Karachi ..

First day memories:



  • Arrived at Quaid-e-Azam International Airport, Karachi at 6am

  • 6:30 am I was at Tariq road, having halwa puri ka nashta with my friends.

  • 6:40 am I heard Fajr Ki Azaan that prompted me to offer namaz

  • 8:00 am I found myself in front my sisters, four nephews and neice whom i met after two and a half years ..

  • 8:15 am I was having fun and playing with them

  • 14:00 pm I had Biryani .. :)

  • 16:00 pm I was greeted by my cousins (hmm around 7 of them)

  • 22:00 pm I was enjoying with my friends @ Latif's magne.

The things i will always remember and miss (they are not in any order):


  • The door bell rings with "Ali hai?" and then you can spend from 15 minutes to 5 hours either in a park, or just standing across the street talking to your friends...

  • "The Bakra Eid" - Masjid e Habibia mai Eid ki namaz, and the charm of Qurbani and Gosht

  • Charming (Bahdurabad) ki Bun kabab

  • Paan - kahe ka bhe :P (Mitha supari bagair wala)

  • Bar B Q Tonight per dinner

  • Hot n Spicy kai roll (Malai special)

  • Azaan ki Awaz

  • Aur Namaz parhna and the feeling you get after you pray in a mosque..

  • Family - my neice, nephews, sisters, cousins etc etc

  • KDA Officers Society ki great Wall -- where not only i have some good memories but one can always enjoy fresh air..

  • From 5pm to 7 pm, walk down to cricket (kirkit) ground and enjoy either a 7 aside cricket or 15 a side football and guess what they play both these games on the same pitch for some odd reason :S - but its still fun

  • There was a day when we had party at our house, and i was surrounded by 20 1st cousins and thier 15 childrens (in total i have around 36 cousins)

  • Wherever u are, there is a memory attached to it or you know some one in that area

  • Pizza Hut, where I can finally enjoy a pizza while not even looking at the vegeterian menu

  • "Ganne ka Juice" - Sugar Cane Juice

  • Dhoraji ka Gola :)
