Beautiful!!!

I have been in the USA for many many years, but I can say that Karachi's original art is not complete without a poetic verse (Couplet, a sher) The last sher I remember on WATER TANK was: Na kysi se dosti karna , na kysi se pyar karna, mey ibhi pani bhar ke aya, mera intizar karna)

We used to see a little bit of this art (much smaller, and usually only on the exterior) in privately owned city buses in Calcutta. Most of these bus operators and owners had come in from west Punjab after partition. But this has faded away. I guess the artists remained in Pakistan, and there was no one to carry it forward.

Why you people disgrace the name of ART by putting such rubbish primitive uncivilized patterns used by the men of mountains tn their ancient times. These cave men brought old broken buses on the streets of karachi. In order to hide the ugliness of their village buses they painted it with hot paints , using the patterns they were accustomed with because these colors were used to paint their houses, haphazardly. You people started talking of Truck Painting by giving it a new name so that the roads of the city could be further made a subject of redicule. The tourists usually laugh at it. I never saw any tourist who would like to travel in these ugly painted buses. It is not Karachi's art but of the uncivilised people. Our media is calling it an art whereas it has nothing to do with art. Unfortunately, our media is full of illiterate and hollow people who know nothing about art.

It is cave-man's wild painting done at the opening of the cave.for recognition.
