Im on my way to Bombay in a few hours, sitting here at the Karachi airport on a Wateen sponsored internet kiosk with air conditioning and 'day-round' electricity, things seem so pleasant. But not so pleasant when i got here from lahore last night.
On my way from the airport, i saw a car (metro-cab) stopped in the middle of the road. There was a motorbike infront of the car to keep him there while there were 3-4 guys standing on either side of the car as one of them got in and was calmly mugging the passenger. Now thats a scary thought, im planning to do some travelling and i was carrying quite some cash and lots of important documents. Though it was quite late at night, 2 am but it was on Shahrah-e-Faisal and in the middle of the road. After passing them i felt terrified everytime i saw somebody on the side of the road. I don't know how locals live with this kind of fear day in and day out. I just know i don't want to be living here, lahore hee set hai!
