Reading that made my throat so bitter. I have heard alot of stories (not witnessed myself) but less grave. But I dont doubt those things cant happen here.
You are right that living here when you have business to take care of or simply earning a living in a place like this, one cant do much without turning into a ghunda themselves. That is why most of my life is inside my home. As long as Im in does not seem like Im in Pakistan. Im not sure if people understand what I mean when I say this.
