Re: 2011 golden year for Pakistan IT industry!
1st and foremost, I personally have nothing against anyone or whatever their reasons are to make a living outside Pakistan. Its their unprecedented right to choose to be where ever they wish to be, for themselves or their family/children. Pakistan on the other hand will insha’Allah continue to prosper and blossom without me/you, that is just my firm belief. Indeed the more the educated the more merrier and the more the rapid growth of this country.
However to speak mainly about myself. I was born and raised in Karachi. Residence has been in defence but since the age of 16 (I’m 29 and have spent 27 of those in Khi, Pak.) I’ve managed to travel all across Karachi. Be it Jauhar, Iqbal, Soldier bazar, lines area, fb area, nine zero, clifton, saddar, tariq road, north nazimabad (Pretty much all the places in khi) numerous amounts of times and often alone, be it in broad day light or the night times of midnight. I’ve even spent nights in lines area for a project I was trying to finish. (I’m a punjabi btw) During all these years (Taubah nauzubillah and may Allah swt forgive me for saying this) but I’ve never been mugged or robbed, let alone kidnapped (Though I have been asked for a 100-200rs bribe for driving a vehicle without necessary documents) and not for a single penny or paisa.
At the end of the day though, I honestly cannot provide you with the promises you seek for, nor do I believe anyone can for even Newzealand (Which last I heard was the lowest when it came to crimes) A mere experience sharing of my life is all I could’ve provided for people/citizens who probably wished to seek an update about a land that once was or continues to be, their own.
Cheers.
