Karachi ,The City Of Flats

     Hello   My  Precious   Fellows!


   Hope   and   Pray  that   all   of   you  are   doing   great  and   enjoying   each   bit   of   your   beautiful   life   with   positive   attitude  and   pleasant   smile .  Hope   weather   at   your   side  of   the   world   is   friendly   and   cooperative   enough   to   do   all   your   works   and   hobbies .

We    reached   back   to  our   home   yesterday  morning .Weather   was   hot   and  dry     as   we   left   19   day    ago   ,though   due   to   being   slightly    cloudy   and   airy   temperature   was   46 c instead   of   52 c [19 days ago]

House   looked   miserable    due   to  dust    and   dry   leaves  ,so     hubby   and   me   put   our   luggage   aside   ,   took   the   water   pipe   and   wiper   and   washed   whole  house   including  all  three  rooms.  It   was    exhausting  though ,  but   we   felt   better   when   had   evening   tea   in  cleaned   environment  later .

Today   we   did   laundry,  mostly   did   hubby  i   only   hang   out   the   clothes  or   removed   or    put   back   the   curtains.  Feeling   happy   that   most   part   of    cleaning   is   done .  Only   kitchen   cupboards   remained   to   be   emptied   and   cleaned  as   i  do   whole   cleaning    resolution   before   every   Eid  [our   yearly   festival   followed   by   month  of  Ramadan  the  fasting month ,  Eid  is  only  few  days  away now].


I   also    have   to   supervise    my   both   kids   in   their   vacation   work  as   they   spent   most   of   June   in   games   and   fun   visits   to   their   favorite   place  ,now   time   to   pay   attention   to  their   studies   again .    

     View   of   city   from   17th   floor   of    building    where  is   the    office   of   my   son 


We   lived   in   Karachi   for   19  days   and   i   found   weather   really   beautiful . Due   to   being   close   to   Arabian   sea    Karachi    has   mild   summer   and   mild   winters.  Unlike   Khairpur [ our city] temperature   was   only   30  plus   ,mostly   cloudy   with   chilled    breeze .


My  son   lives   in   the   top   floor  of   five   story    building   so   each   outing   caused   us   quite     an   exercise   everyday.  I   found   it   nice   workout  after   two   earlier   days  . While    visiting   this   Largest   city   of   my   country   i   observed   that    there   99%   people   live   in    vertical   order  unlike   other   cites  .  I   belonged    to   a   village    where   people   live   in   huge   houses  with   lush   and   serene   surroundings   and   feel    free    to   view   nature   from    far  and    breath   under   open   blue   sky .

In    Karachi   i    saw    people    who   born   in    such   congested    flats ,spent   their   whole   lives  in   such   narrowness   among   many   other   members   of   family   .They   find    living   in   big   houses  as   luxury   which   remains  an   unfulfilled   desire   for   them.

I   realized  that    a  place   where   people   live   affects   people 's   nature   to   a   great   extent . People    who   grow   among    stern   weather   and   hard   surrounding   such   as   mountains     have   different   characteristics    than   people   who   live   in   smooth   valleys   beside   water.  People   grown   in   rude   unkind    desert   are   surly    part    than   who   live   in   flourishing    cities    with    completely   different    environments   like   banglows   or    such   small   flats .


There   were    four    flats   on  top   including   one   that   occupied   my   son .All   families    living   in  the  building   belonged    to   a   certain    community ,only   my    son   was    outsider   and   lived   alone   or   sometime   his   friends   come    to   live   with   him   for   weekends. My   son's   class   fellow   who   belongs   to   the   same    community    helped   my   son   to   get    this   flat    on   rent   as   this   area   was   better   though   little   more    expensive  .


 I    think   this   is   enough    for   today ,as   i    am    feeling    little    tired   right   now  ,in   next   post   i   will   share    with    you   little   more   about   my    stay  in   Karachi ,till   then   saying   you   goodbye    with   lots    and   lots    of    best    wishes    for    you   guys  .

please   take   great    care   stay    happy   and   positive  as    life    is   so    short  ,so   unpredictable  yet  gift    from   someone    who   loves   you   even    more    than    you.God   Bless   You   All!!!
