Re: Shalmi
Tum chingchee pe baith kar chali jao 
Waisy Shah Aalmi is right spelling, written same in urdu :k:
It is very old market of lahroe, named after a person Shah Aalam ( some bigwig in mughal time ) it was constructed around one of the twelwe historic gates of Lahore city ( shah aalmi darwaza )
Most traders here were hindus in pre-partition era.
Partly because your dad himself does not live here, so he is not aware that the biggest jewlery market in lahore is Soa bazar (Rang mahal) so all the girls, women go there all the time plus all the samaan for jahez, crockery, pateeley, bed sheets, dinnerset, electronic and god know what else is available there and it is the main retail and whole sale market in lahore.
For buying lense there is no need to go there, go to liberty, Al fateh or Defense Y Block…
Shah almi is for hardcore shoppers
