Growing up in Karachi

SEE, HOW I EXPLORED KARACHI ?

In August 2000 i got admission in Dawood College of Engineering and Technology Karachi on M.A Jinnah Road opposite to Ismia College near to Mizar-e-Quaid.

Our College Hostels were closed so got Private accomodation at Hassan Square near Eisa Nagree stayed here for One Year.

From where i explored Gulshan-e-Iqbal all blocks as at various locations my Friends/fellows were living and as we were bachlors so no hindrence in wandering through the karachi , especially to SADAR , URDU BAZAR , TOWER etc.

Nazim Abad , FB Area , 10 No. , Latif Abad were some strange names for me.

We shifted our flate to Safari Park Area in Islamic Arcade and remained here till last year of my B.E Degree It was near to Gulistan-e-Jauhar , Jauhar Complex , Safora Goot , Bhens Colony etc.

I had some friends in Still Mills and i used to go there too , stayed with them saw the Still mills area and the various phases of Steel Town.

From here i explored Gidar Colony in Korangee , Quaid Abad, Gul Ahmad etc and I went to Michar Colony , Shafiq Colony , FB area etc.

In Final Year of My B.E i shifted to Defence Phase-ii commercial area near Nisar Shaheed Park , due to which I use to travell through many places like Tariq road , National College Area , Navel Heights , Shahrah-e-Faisal , FTC etc.
Being in Defence of course I used to go to Nisarshaheed park , the liberary in Defence, Clifton and Sea View of Course.

I had second time admission in Petromen Intitute that is on Shahrah-e-Faisal due to which , Baloch Colony, PECHS Areas, awamee markaz, Lal koti were explored.

Some of Fellows were staying in Bilal Colony ( I forget that exact name , but know that MPA Irfan Marwat was from this vicinity) and it was 11.C last stop , stayed there for 15/20 days for Exame preparation and due to which saw many places.

For some days i have lived in Muzafar Abad Colony in Korangee.

I shifted to Sohrab Gooth from Where i had to go for Teaching(Tution) in FB area and North Nazim abad , due which so many blank spots were explored to me like Imamia Razvia , Al Asaf ,Metro vele , Nine Zero , Latif Abad , Orangee etc.

Pakistan Navy Engineering College and the Sorrounding Area of Muhammad Ali Jinnah Colony was unvieled in my one certification course from Pak Navy College.

Sadar , Urdu Bazar was among the places which i went Frequently for study stuff and Projects matterials.

From Sohrab Goot area i had to go for one Summer course from a branch of Islamic International University Islam abad in Karachi that was in (I am forgetting the name but it is on High way road after Baqai University from Hyderabad side).

Went to Baqai University many times for seeing with friends and Brother.

Have Many trips to GADANI , KUNJER LAKE , and Many Forms Houses like Kozee etc.

It was till 2004 and in 2005 i was staying for Evening Classes for My Masters from Federal Urdu University on University Road.

I lived for 5 Years in Karachi but remained very mobile and explored many places many many bus routes are still in My mind.

After completion of My Education when i was going to Peshawar it seemed very very small to me.
