Re: NPR series on Karachi
oh wow, thanks for the link. Man, finally something (even if its a tiny bit) great about the largest most powerful city of Pakistan. There is a lot of good points. The more I get to know about the mayor of Karachi, the more I like him. I really do like his hands on approach to the dirtiest of problems like fixing sanitation lines and efficient garbage pickup! Its unheard of. I personally can't remember a big politician talk like that in Pakistan in a while.

Nahi yaar. Its rare everywhere. Our US media is pretty bad. Npr sometimes does a good job, as it did here.

oh i just noticed the photo gallery. ees wery good.
and i just realized the mayor guys name is mustafa kamal. A great name indeed. Lets hope he can follow in the footsteps of the great turk. Secularism is the way to go, especially in a diverse city like karachi where there are so many different languages/ethnicities/religious beliefs.

Re: NPR series on Karachi
But this piece isn't talking about mqm's achievements. Its talking about the ability of the city and how it functions. It also highlights many positives of different communities and their problems...
