Ibrahim:


Winter is an incongruent conundrum in Karachi…like other tropical cities it has two seasons… warm and hot…barring those quetta winds that you have captured here!…only after leaving Karachi did I begin to appreciate the uniqueness of spring, summer, fall and winter as distinct seasons…

....
Hand in hand, others walk down the street
Or make love between the sheets
Here in Karachi, this spell may last only a week



Spell of walking down the street, hand in hand OR making love between the sheets will ONLY last a week.
No wonder those people in Karachi are so pumped up all the time.
If they get one week, in the whole year for such festivities.
