I don`t understand how article of this quality make its way into Chowk. Aren`t there better authors....isn`t there better stories, ideas and so on...

The story has nothing. It`s flat...it`s tasteless and it makes me want to...ask the same question i already asked: ``How do stories like this end on Chowk?``

Blah!

Re the traffic chaos and all that, I think the Author`s trip may have been a while ago. Lahore has actually become a lot better since the road planning and infrastructure took effect. I saw some real progress on my last trip there. Shows that people will learn to use facilities properly if they are provided with these at all in the first place.

Ever since I came to Pakistan eight years ago, I have not visited the Lawrence Garden. Thank you for the refreshing article. It`s always good to read pleasant things about your own city.
