Re: Karachi Before 1900

By the way I had already put these pictures on 6.2.2007 see my thread - Karachi in the year 1900. (which was sadly closed by the moderator).

Re: Karachi Before 1900

Nice pics!

Re: Karachi Before 1900

Sorry, MoStar -- I didn't realize this had been posted!

EDIT: Oh, I think the photos didn't get uploaded in that thread. Are these the exact same photos? Did you have others?

Re: Karachi Before 1900

Its Ok! It was my mistake then. I did not know how to post pictures here! I put them on webshots (another website) and pasted a link in the thread! And they do not like it.

Re: Karachi Before 1900

At least you did in the right way! And more people are attracted towards the thread!
