No parking
To drive a car in Karachi is considered a very difficult
task because the roads are badly damaged. The bad condition of roads is just one
menace that we face, lack of parking space is another problem.
Due to shortage of parking space cars are seen parked in a hap-hazard manner which makes it very difficult for one to pull out their car from such absolute chaos. Besides this, cars are parked even where parking is not allowed. I wish people would understand the importance of parking their cars in an orderly manner so that a problem as measly as parking would not take the shape of a major menace.

Need for schools!
The number of school going children is increasing rapidly. There is no problem for the rich because they send their children to private schools but what about the poor. They have to send their children to government schools and the condition of the government schools in Pakistan is deplorable.
There are 50 to 60 students in one class. My question is, how can a teacher give attention to so may students? I request the government to do something in this regard. There are many children who can’t even afford going to Government schools. This is a complete waste of Pakistani talent. Something must be done to rectify this problem. The condition of government schools should be improved, as education is the right of every child, rich or poor, as it prepares children for a constructive role in life.

Educated yet naive
It’s strange how the educated can at times be so naive. I was once visiting the local Library when I saw a doctor and his friend talking loudly. A student pointed this out and asked the doctor to be silent. This irked the doctor very much and he began yelling at the boy. He went as far as saying that the boy was ill mannered and didn’t know how to talk to his elders. It’s strange that a doctor didn’t know how to behave at a library. I wish people would behave more responsibly.

Facilities for women please!
Education is the key to progress, but the wheels of education wouldn’t run if girl’s schools are not provided female faculty. In our area most of the schools lack sufficient female staff, this situation is disheartening and deplorable. Our parents shirk away when it comes to educating their daughters and providing educational facilities to them in the absence of female teachers. If our government wishes to meet the literacy rate, then it must take concrete steps and solve educational problems pertaining to female education.

Excuses
We frequently see students making lame excuses for not doing their homework or not coming to school. These vary from ‘Sir, I was sick’, ‘I had some work’, ‘my friend got sick’ to ‘I had some guests at my home.
In fact, excuses are the weapon that students use to avoid hard work. Actually parents are also to be blamed partly, as they don’t enquire about their children’s progress from the school authorities. It is high time that students take responsibility for their work and stop making lame excuses because in the long run it is they themselves who will suffer.

Women and driving
As someone who has recently started driving, I am perturbed at the arrogant and torturous behavior of passers by, and male drivers. They don’t respect women and pass comments, which can be very distracting. Instead of giving way to the car they block the way of female drivers. Such behaviour scares me and I don’t feel like driving alone. I request all passers by to behave properly rather than make them miserable by their behaviour.
