Karachi, a tempestuous city



Like many of you, a compelling wish of mine brought me to Karachi city to continue my studies. The most enthusing reason is that Karachi was introduced to me as a literary city, richly polite and civilized. But as my observations go, Karachi lacks later two qualities, and is brutally impolite and uncivilized to some extent.  

Understandably, a genuine wish is conceived and constructed in the soul provided me the strength to chase my dream with a real excitement.  But with the passing days a profound sense of rationalistic realization that the real world is different, and varies the world of ears’ and eyes’, completely engulfed the excitement within, and now forcing me to leave the city reluctantly.  

Karachi, it is true, is changing into a tempestuous city losing its status as ‘the city of lights’, mainly because of the prevailing infamous law and order situation. At the present moment large parts of the city are faced with the severe threats of constant violence causing the creation of an upset mind that springs from some psychological abnormality. Besides, such predictions can not be wrong that Karachi will remain ungovernable politically, and full of risks, if the government fails to produce some genuinely prolific plans to tackle the unexpected.

The minds of the people are so divided due to the ghastly situation between worry and wait ─ ‘worry’ about what played a crucial role in turning Karachi into another Beirut, and ‘waiting’ for when normalcy prevails and life returns back to the city. The citizens feel extremely insecure, and are deprived of the unending joys once they enjoyed fairly well.

I need say nothing here, what the government has done to improve the law and order situation because nothing can show better than the results which clearly falsify every claim made the government officials.

The concerned authorities must put their their heads together, and work out a serious and lasting plan as soon as possible to achieve perfect peace without being politically influenced, ensuring the return of the green spring of life in the city.
