Pakistan Independence Day Celebrations at Karachi Sea View
Posted on August 15th, 2009 No commentsGreen everywhere, Pakistani flag on each car, green painting on cheeks, crazy dances, madness with motor bikes, firing and fireworks, lights on Government buildings, dances, sea view, freedom, happiness, joy, and a lot more is experienced every 14th August in Pakistan. I don’t know about other cities of Pakistan but in Karachi if you want to see how mad and crazy people get at these occasions you should hit a place which everyone know as Sea View. I actually went there this 14th August to shoot a few clips which would make you people believe as to how crazy people can get. If you ask any decent person he/she would say never go to sea view on 14th of August, or EID, or any big holiday because people really go crazy. I actually wanted to have some fun so I went for it.
.
The kind of people you will find here are normally from SEC C or below. These people don’t normally have much options when it come to family entertainment. Sea view is the only place where no one is charges any money to come and have fun normally rent cars, wagons, or even trucks and just stuff people in it. The most common vehicle you will see at sea view is Motor Bike and that too if it is 14th August without cylencers to get noticed.
.
If you talk to any of these people you will immidiately feel that things happening arround them dont really affact them they will continue to do what they do and continue to thing what they think. I see a lot of potential in this man power in our country which can be used for something which benefits the country and themselves.

DHA Under water 2009 Monsoon Rains
Posted on August 9th, 2009 No commentsIt has not been much time since i have been in Karachi but it is a good 8 years now. I consider Hyderabad as the most neglected city in Sindh. But now when i look at areas like DHA in Karachi i think otherwise.
The negligence of deciding who is competent enough to take up development projects is enought to put your money and time down the drain.
What really has to be considered is that do they know that water can never flow from a lower plain to a higher plain until an external force is involved.

See this small diagram in which i have tried to explain where these people went wrong when building the drainage system.
I know that recent drainage project in DHA had a lot of money involved in fact millions were spent to be able to see the streets of DHA dry after rains. Unfortunately the people who took this project thought that water will automatically flow to where ever they want it to flow. If there was an engineer or some wise guy monitoring this then we would not have to see these days where by all the roads were loaded with water and all the hard earned taxes and money went straight down the drain.
I knew that people will ask for proof and that is what i arranged in form of videos shot specifically for this post.
This video is at popular avenue DHA phase 5 if i am not mistaken.
Here is another one showing that water needs to be pumped out so that it goes out of the main drain.I have a few more snaps which ill add later.
