Lahore Stories: A homegrown Einstein

Lahore Stories: A homegrown Einstein

Usually, I have to go out looking for stories, but sometimes stories find me. This one literally ended up at my doorstep in the form of a letter written by a self-styled inventor who claimed that once he was discovered, Pakistan wouldn’t be the same again. Intrigued by the claim, I drive out to Shahdara Town, to a kebab shop the letter-writer had appointed as our meeting place.

… Eventually, after I insist that I deserved to know, and he agrees that I do since I had travelled quite a distance to meet him, Abbas tells me about his gadget. Simply put, it is a self-jacking system. With the gadget, a car breakdown no longer necessitates you getting out. Just press a button, and watch your car jack itself up. Truly revolutionary.

… but wouldn’t the person still need to go out to change the wheel?

Not enough to deserve the title. That’s besides the point, what’s jacking up the car gonna do if you have to come out of it anyway. :confused:
