Ask us.

  Kamila Shamshi's intreview to talking books, BBC   was quite  typical of those Karachitie who has left Karachi.


They always talk like that." Karachi is so violent," " I miss her so much." blah blah.

I can't deny  this fact , but people who have  left Karachi, or  Pakistan for  whatever  reason, should not talk about this city and country at all, especially about Karachi. 

People who  have left, living better lives some where else, and have no intention to come back, should not talk about our situation. They don't know ground realities, they are not facing the problem(s). And  when they talk about it like that, it only  looks like they are so sympathetic about us, because  we are some third world citizen, living in some war zone area, there are death bodies everywhere, and soon we will all die.

Yes, it is a violent city,  it gets  so bloody violent, which I am not denying at all. Law and order situation is pathetic,  after every month there is some political unrest, strikes, sectarian killings, and what not !

But don't forget people are living here.

 There are people who are living here everyday, without any fear. They are on roads after every violence.
This is a city does not sleep at night, no matter how bloody it gets.

It is called mini Pakistan, because  people from all around the sountry come here to have a better life, better job, better living for themselves and their family.

It takes a mighty heart to live here.

Maybe,  I can't understand their mentality and fear because I am living here since I was born, raised here,   and it doesn't bother me much. I am used to it, and all these things  don't sop me from living here.

 If this city  is like a difficult member of a family,  help it, instead of being bhagora and running away. Make it a better place  by doing your bit. Point out its problems with intention of solving it.



There is so much burden on the shoulders of Karachi.
