By side of the Qaide Azam 's mausoleum, where history and twilight entangle into a powerful inspiration of enlightenment.

Yes I have been to Manora. The sea at Manora is very clean pure ocean blue and I am sure sun set must be very scenic and very soothing in that area. Shall try to go to there to witness sun setting.

I would love to be at Sea View, Clifton. The golden sun seems to be shedding all its spleandour and warmth to the cool deep Sea. The water seems to be wide stretching its arms to wholly embrace the melting sun as if this is the only place where the sun can find peace and from where it can again rise the next morning with all its freshness and revitalized vigour to shine upon every thing below.

My favorite part of the day in Karachi was standing on my roof top (Gulshan-e-Iqbal) just after the rain, fresh air, little chill wind, sense of healthy and cleanliness around me, and smile on the faces of people on the street, and a slight tempting smell of Pakoraas.....Oh man! I love my country...........I wish nothing but betterment of my country and people. Inshallah.
