A rainy day in Karachi
Hay don’t worry its not a primary class essay, I just wanted to share my experience of today’s rain.
The rain, which started here Wednesday night, continued intermittently till Thursday evening as rain’s heavy spell had begun after 4:30 p.m. Karachi busiest business roads like MA Jinnah road and I I Chundrigar road faced a massive distruption of traffic as many cars were stuck in inundated water. (reported by GEO)
Situation here at Shahra-e-Faisal is not different than other main roads in Karachi. I am along with my colleagues stucked in the office as one of the worst traffic jams is infront of me. Lets camp in the office for today. 
I have never seen such downpour in my life before in Karachi. It was such an exciting moment that I am lost for words to express it. Yahoo forecast says that heavy thunderstorms and rain will strike Karachi in coming couple of days.
God bless Karachi.
God bless karachi? God SAVE karachi!!!! :p
agreed.. it was PRETTY bad today :S
Hi all…….
Well, let me tell you some shocking things from the last 365days.. [a bit off topic]
1-No electricity on EID and 14th Aug.
2-No boday attends the call on bhalf of KESC .
3-Power breakdown in almost evey part of the city for more than 36 hours.
4-Rivers flood on the street when its rain in the city, Even the cars need to learn swiming know days.
5-The biggest traffic jams in the history of Karachi evey next day in diffretn parts.
Y this is happening and who is responsiable………….????????????
But yesterday i forget every worry of live and play with my office mates i CS, which bring lots of joy.
Need another session i gueee!!!!
By now, we should be accustomed to the way of life in Karachi and rains should not in any way be different…it only focusses on the multitude of problems that lay hidden until they are exposed suddenly, crumbling the way of life that we are used to!
Just as I was walking back to home, I saw a number of vehicles broken down and stranded and to make the matters worse, everyone was having a field day on the roads. It seemd that instead of trying to solve the traffic congestions by simply moving along, everyone wanted to be the first to reach their destination - had they had their way, they would have attached wings to their vehicles and flown away.
Then there are the so called public transports - laden with overly exited and eager to reach home passengers - breaking the traffic flows by going the wrong way. You should have seen the Gora-Kabristan flyover. The portion that goes to KalaPul from Shahra-e-Faisal had its upward ramp blocked by vehicles comming in from KalaPul with vehicles stuck head on… no place for anyone to move back or forwards.
I’m sure that scenario at other places was the same.
Why should we be troubled?…These are just a few rainy days…
