TheNews Blog Winters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Early morning. The sunshine is cold but warm. Just slightly foggy. KESC has forgotten to shut off the street lights. A few people on bikes are whizzing past in worn out woolen caps, wearing flimsy jackets or without-sleeves sweaters. Some are even, shockingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in just a tee shirt, somehow surviving. I am driving past the Defence Golf Club. At the side of the road, a group of six labourers is sitting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], basking in the sun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sharing a joke as a chaai wala on a cycle hands them tiny cups of tea. As my car moves towards Sea View,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the breathtaking beach of Karachi steals my heart yet again. Early in the morning, it is not crowded. I park the car,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a take-away chaai in a disposable cup from the infamous Café Clifton. A lone camel trudges along in a melancholy manner, looking bored. A number of people are taking a walk or a run along the beach. In a mysterious way, no other city I have experienced changes in terms of what it feels and looks like in winter, compared to Karachi. Winters a la Karachi - short, unpredictable and utterly beautiful.
Good things are also politically correct - they are anti-extremism. Which is why I love Karachi's winters. Moderate. Bearable. Agreeable. Comfortable. You can use your winter wardrobe, shawls and light sweaters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but only in Karachi will you find a woman surviving in a lawn ka jora with a shawl in December. You can wear your boots and coat shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but you can also survive in your sandals from Charles Keith or studded chappals from Zamzama. Whatever we do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we do it in style.
The new food haven of Pakistan in terms of variety (with the debatable dethroning of Lahore as THE food-lovers' paradise),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winter brings a new zing to the culinary experience of Karachi. You will see inexpensive munchies like roasted peanuts and steamed shaqarkandi and karari gajjak and dry fruits. And you will see thailaas of coffee and soap. Hot nihari and gola kababs are eaten in a jiffy, lest the ghee on top freezes to a crust. A rise in the sales of paye on meat shops is seen. Barbeque is being done on terraces. Halwaas make life a sensory joy. Dinners and socializing reaches a crescendo, which means more food in every possible way. Bliss!
But perhaps the best part of winters in Karachi is that people, in addition to the temperature, seem to cool down. Faces on the street somehow smile more,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as does the face looking at me in the mirror. Less agitated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], less heated are the temperaments. It goes without saying that winters are Karachi's honeymoon period. The mercury will climb higher in the months to come. We all know it. That's the reality. But when have reality checks ever stopped anyone from enjoying the moment? So sip that coffee, drape that shawl tight, bask in the soft wintry sunshine and enjoy it while it lasts.

have you experienced winters in other parts of Pakistan? not just visiting Muree but actually living in other places during winter? what makes you qualified to say that winters in Karachi are the best? In my opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such blogs do nothing than widen the already stupid divide/fight between the so-called educated and civilized Karachiites (where 10-12 people die in sectarian/linguist/ethnic riots daily) and the rest of inferior,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], uncultured Pakistanis. Btw,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your article felt like a typical Karachiite rant of superiority against Lahori相关的主题文章:
