The bomb blasts could be heard even here, which is a 15 min drive away or so.

Yay and stuff.

Dude!!

1) Glad to know you're well and unharmed.

2) Dude, move if you can! To another country preferably! Bring your siblings as dependents!

This is so normal now that I don't find it too disconcerting. Life has to go on.

Every time I play Modern Warfare 2 and land on the Karachi map, it reminds me that you live in that area and I wonder if it's that war-torn and and generally fucked up. I mean, in the game there's a lot of rubble and bombed out buildings so maybe not quite the same, but it gets me wondering.

hahaha no I don't know what inspired that. Maybe it is a vision of Karachi after a war in Pakistan.

Most of Karachi is fairly a modern city.

I should do a photo diary if anyone would find that interesting.

Hell yeah I don't know anything about Pakistan's modern architecture or culture.

I'll get on it. I'll take pics of the good and the bad.

Let's just hope no one steals my camera when I go to the bad areas heh.
