Wonderfully entertaining article by Atif - just like his pictures.

{"And then I noticed something that made me feel proud that Karachi was part of Pakistan. No, it wasn’t the availability of condom dispensers in men’s restrooms. It was the fact that there was a quiet calm and order about the airport operations. Lines moved smoothly and efficiently. Airport staff was knowledgeable and helpful."}

Teefay,
Itni bhi taareef na kijiay ke aasman se utarna mushkil ho jaaey. LOL

Leave it to you to write a complete and delightful article after only a few minutes of observation. You really have an amazing talent for describing situations and places that we ordinary mortals seem to overlook - something you do with taking pictures too. Great article, very well written, and I really enjoyed reading it.

Now, come on, did you really find the condominiums at the airport? Hopefully, they were not the oversized and under-scented types imported from "Shining India."

{"For starters, I could hear urdu with proper diction. This was a pleasant change from the punjabized urdu you hear in Lahore, the pothwarized urdu you hear in Pindi and the englishized urdu you hear in Islamabad"}

Atif,
You obviously didn't run into any Dilliwalla Mohajirs at the airport or perhaps the new Nazim has banned them from being there.
"Tu aaree he ke naeen ya men aariya hun?"
No that's not Dilliwalla foreplay in polite Urdu - it's actually a threat for an appointment. LOL
