Traffic in Karachi

I WOULD like to draw attention of the Traffic Police of Karachi towards the ever increasing chaos on the city roads and also urge reckless drivers to drive safe.

The traffic in Karachi has now become a death trap for pedestrians as well as drivers. Majority of traffic constables are either careless or are seen busy finding ways to fill their pockets.

On the other hand, people lack civic sense while driving and pose major threat to the lives of other people. Most drivers don’t seem to abide by any rules nor do they seem to know how to be patient on busy roads and give way to pedestrians.

Among many, M.A. Jinnah Road is not only the busiest road but also a dangerous one. One can see push and donkey carts, buggies, rickshaws, buses and cars creating total havoc on the road.

Also, the roads which were supposed to be one way are blatantly used for two way traffic. But nobody dares to say anything to the drivers who often hit pedestrians and drive away; my mother has been hit twice by motorcyclists who suddenly appear on the wrong way.

So it is my request to the Traffic Police of Karachi to please pay heed the plight of poor people and serve the nation by being strict in rules implementations and manage traffic accordingly.

Trip to a farm

VISITING rural areas is very interesting as we get to see and experience many things that are not there in the city.

Last Sunday I went to a farm with my friends. I took a picnic basket. In the picnic basket there were chips, sandwiches, chocolates, apples and guavas. I saw lots of animals. I saw goats, cows and buffalos.

We played with a balloon and I had fun. There was a park in which there were vegetables growing. The goat’s leg was broken. The cows were big. We saw them being milked. The goats were licking our fingers.

The weather was sunny. There was a tour man who gave us a big tour of the farm. We went in separate cars. We had a lot of fun.

Nothing is impossible

THIS is with reference to the story “Nothing is impossible” by Maham Sharif (YW, November 15, 2014).

While reading the story I expected the plot to be interesting but it was not impressive and it seemed that the writer was in a haste to jump to the conclusion of the story.

So I suggest to the writer to write after doing some proper brain storming and planning.
