Rain Rain... Dont come again!!!

Atlast Karachi received some showers.. I've never liked the rain here! I doubt if many karachiites do. The reason offcourse is the question that arises... Where will the rain water go... Doh! KESC will have just another reason to cut off my power supply!... Will the government do something about the havoc the rain creates! By Karachi standards, the first sign of rainfall is the power breakdown. However, KESC was generous enough today to let me go! :D but my cable internet provider as well as the cable TV provider were out of power! What amazes me is that even the major roads of Karachi are flooded like anything be it Sharhah-e-Faisal or MA Jinnah Road or major roundabouts like Hasan Square! Forget areas like Lyari or Mehmoodabad! A cousin from Mumbai a few weeks ago told me that even though Mumbai was wrecked by floods the roads had no water as soon as the showers stopped.

Seems amazing that the recent local bodies election here saw some huge amount of money spent by the Haq-Parast people as well as Al-Khidmat guys on their election campaigns... more to degrade each other rather than to imrpove their own image! The banners/speeches proved that atleast. I wonder if something would be done by the MQM guys now in power on the so-called grass root level... where we had this so called non-party based elections! What good is the new Askari Park, when in a rarely good weather the road that leads to the park is flooded. But thats how things have been in Karachi... and most of us seem to be so much calm about it! God help us! Whatever... I luv this amazing place called Karachi! Home Sweet Home! :)
