Karachi, on Canvas

Well, not exactly on canvas, but, some pics I took through camera phone, and collaged them.. :D Boredom at its epitome can work out real well.. ;)

Sweet Sunday!!

Yesterday was a Sunday(I speak as if Sunday comes once a year though). So we luckily wentto Hawks Bay, yeah, around afternoon..it was a much needed visit, plus though I been to the Sea side many times, but Hawks Bay is kinda far, and last time I went was about 7 or 8 years ago.. We reached, hired a hut, had food, and down the sea.. lol..yeah, not too far though, and I also collected sea shells.. :D the only older person doing this besides my cousin's kid.. hehe.. And thats not all, some insect bit me too.. :( I thought it must be the bluebottle, but since it wasnt too itchy, had to be some other insect..

It’s a Dog’s Life!!

The big patch of green bordering my home and the busy road in front is no man’s land (read the CDA) but the lucky homeowners have been gifted the land and told to develop it as best as their aesthetic sense permits. Gardens are abloom all around my garden (says who Islamabad will run dry?) which stands out for its pedestrian look, only because my landlord cares not a whit for the patch. But the dog does.

What if the puppies — God knows how many — invade my space and arrive uninvited in my garden. Their mother may not live to feed them. She’s doing poorly. When she’s not sleeping, she’s scratching herself all over to get rid of the ticks and fleas that infest her body. The vicious summer heat has parched her. The sun is relentless. Down the road, I watch...

Okay, whenever I mean to input here, something goes wrong, and that something is most prolly the electricity... :( Karachi is suffering as usual from the load shedding, unannounced that is..No schedules, no notices, no timings, to hell with routines.. So yesterday, I decided to watch T.V!!!! for a change, gathered my dinner plate and went to the room, switched on the T.V, found a perfect channel, and *click*..*pitch darkness*...what could I do now..there went my plan..sigh..
