Renovation of Teen Talwar



Renovation work underway on Teen Talwar in Clifton.


Its strange how they have civility to renovate / restore the monuments but not roads and footpaths!

Case in point: If you ever have a chance to go to this road, just make a right turn from teen talwar and go straight pass the signal into the road going towards Kalapul..Man its a mess!

Mobile Tower = Rent = Easy Money


Thats a mobile tower on top of an apartment building in Clifton. From what I have heard cellular companies pay anything from 25000-35000 as rent, if you give them space at a good location to install their mobile tower. These towers are in different sizes and the biggest one requires a separate control room sort of a thing. Some people have told me they got free SIMs or free electricity too!!

Tuk Tuk in Karachi?


Don't be surprised. Its not the "tuk tuk" imported from Thailand (Rickshaw is called Tuk Tuk in Thailand). Rather its a CNG rickshaw made by our very own local company Super Asia which is renowned for making washing machines. This one I spotted near Gulf Mall, Clifton. I must say its looks a bit attractive than the previous CNG rickshaw...;)..

Windshield? In car? Nahhh...


I just saw this "rehriwala" selling kharbooza near my home. Look how he has made a creative use of the windshield of a car!
