yes the photo might have been taken from Habib Bank Plaza, but it shows State Life Building, which is behind Habib Bank Plaza.
Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

I first visited makli, when I was in class 4. We reached there in evening after visiting Keenjhar Lake and Shahjahani Masjid. It was first time, I was out wothout parents. My elder sister and cousin were also with us, but it felt scary and haunted specially due to malangs and rose petals fragrance and Metro Milan agar batti.
Last time, went there around 10 years back with college friends. One of college friend's brother was posted at Jungshahi in Agricultural Department, Sindh. During that visit, we visited it in detail and walked between graves during Maghrib and Isha without fear.
Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs
Which is Shahjahani lake? Or you mean the masjid?

I meant Keenjhar Lake and Shahjahani Masjid. I've been to Keenjhar for 3-4 times, but didn't go to Mai Noori's grave. Recently, I read that 'Noori' is actually buried in Makli alongith her husband Jam Tamachi at Makli.

Entrance Gate, Kot Diji.
Men used War Elephants in south-east asia to breakthrough any fort, but the speciality of this gate is it has thick metal spikes attached to it; which prevented from any forceful attack from the animal, and to add up the security there were three gates built at a distance providing leveled security on the steep hill.
The Kot Diji Fort, formally known as Fort Ahmadabad, dominates the town of Kot Diji in Khairpur District, Pakistan about 25 miles east of the Indus River at the edge of the Nara-Rajisthan Desert. The fort was built between 1785 to 1795 by Mir Sohrab Khan Talpur, founder of the Kingdom of Upper Sindh in 1783. In addition to the fort, a 5 kilometer, 12 feet wide mud wall was built around the city. This defensive wall had bastions throughout its length and a huge iron gate served as the city’s only entrance.

Unveiling of the statue of Queen Victoria in Karachi in 1906
The moment when Nehru was about to receive a Slap from Mehr Dil Mahsud.
Story behind the scene: In 1946 Nehru went to Waziristan to present the idea of United India. The tribal belt was in the favor of separate homeland which at that time was Pakistan.
His words were, “O Nehru, who are you to give us freedom when you yourself are a slave to British government. We are tribesmen and we will fight those, who point their dirty fingers towards our sovereignty. We are free and By The Grace of God, shall remain free forever”.
