Observations in Lahore....

Re: Observations in Lahore…

@Anwaar Qureshi

Let’s compare it with Karachi - because I have not been to Lahore …

1. Police looks like daakooos.
Tell me about it. Karachi Police is made up of daakoos. Atleast, it only LOOKS like there…

2. Mullahs rule. They can shutdown an entire city by calling on junior and intern Mullahs.
In Karachi, MQM takes the major responsibility. Jamaties baychaaraY were ousted in mid 80’s

3. Roads have not been repaired since British Rule.
Roads? In karachi? A rarity since british rule (except for few that can be counted on fingers)

4. There are too many people and they are everywhere. Walking around some markets is like playing Dodge Ball where you are dodging bodies.
Karachi beats Lahore hands down buddy… The most populated city than Lahore. The more dynamic in this regard as well…

5. Traffic is like a 3-D video game where objects come at you from all angles. Animals and veichles co-exist.
True for karachi and I guess for the whole country as well..

6. Dirt and smog can be seen rising from miles away.
same here dost

Yeh GuN(m)bad-e-khaashaak, yeh miTi yeh balaayeN
kiouN beech saRak par Tehalti haiN yeh gaaYeN

7. Driver paid a tula 100 rupees to get out of a traffic violation.
man! WoW… In karachi, I saw people bargaining on a ciggerte all alone

8. Village had the best food in town and they have a guy with dholki/harmonium who sings Attah ullah Eisa Hailwi songs on demand.
I am not sure about the guy but Variety is the known thing in foods in Karachi as well… Every city of Pakistan is unique in this case… Go to Peshawar and you get the best chappali kabaabs :halo:

9. I felt clastrophobic everywhere.
Drive/Fly down to Karachi and the feeling is mutual.

…Like I said the whole Indian subcontinent is like that
