I got up on time even a bit earlier,and it is quite rare in this month because of vacation I usualy get up very late some time 11:00 or 12 :00.but today is a special today,,yeah,,,match in my city karachi.i usualy like to watch matches on T.V. so watched the whole match on TV
Today is a holiday for students,,it can only happen in karachi. the nosie spectaters were making was realy good . and just then the carnage started . a carnage from pakistani batsmen towards english bowlers. Afridi was playing realy well,,silly run out. And pakistani popoye the sailor " Razzaq "...he is definately the best hitter in the death over. Thank God karachi hosted an international match safely. i don't know who the hell created the fuss that karachi is the most dangerous city and blah blah blah..
on the other day i was reading the daily diary of andrew miller on cricinfo . he share his thoughs about karachi .so let me share it with u ,diary,,,
"It is a raucous city, in which everyone is on the go, and everyone is
on the make Taxi drivers have an Arabesque understanding of the
value of the pound,while little kids swarm around the innumerable
traffic lights, relentlessly tapping the stranded motorists for spare
change. Karachi is a functional metropolis in the starkest sense.
It does not exist for the benefit of its visitors, and it barely seems
to exist for itself.This is not a city that bothers with niceties,and
therein lies the mistrust that colours its reputation. The hustle,
the bustle,the slight air of cynicism. It almost reminded me of
London. Perhaps that's why Karachi is so feared.It's so much
easierto romanticise than empathise. "
But with all these good and bad things about karachi ,i love this city . this city is more than a city for me . this is like a mother to me . some call "karachi" most dangerous city ,,,i realy get irritated when people start talking like this,,,,,,,
see ya again
