Early in the morning at Fajr time, Indian planes dropped few bombs on outskirts of Karachi. On 7th of September, Pakistan Navy did a superb job by blowing Dwarka air field where planes came to bomb Karachi. Ghazi submarine destroyed perhaps a frigate and few ships in Indian ocean. After that till ceasefire, no Indian plane dared to attack Karachi. Though there were regular black outs but Karachi was calm and peaceful during remaining war time.

I want to share some of the most famous national songs played 24 hours during that time. Those songs are still echoing in my ears. How can I forget the short term glory once Pakistan and Pakistanis (East and West) enjoyed.

Black-out was every where. Though there was some tussle at Umerkot Tharparkar border areas (My Maamoo was recruited as volunteer), but I heard black-out even from relatives living in Sehwan, Dadu and LaRkana. My Dadi used to tell, ‘uss din tumhare taya ki mangni thi aur blackout tha’.
