THE GRAPEVINE
Uncivil Aviation
You may not agree with her on some issues but this time round Mehwish Hayat has said something that is certainly food for thought for those who travel by air. In a tweet on January 24, the actress complained, “Disgusting! Had [the] misfortune to use the ladies room at Karachi Airport — dirty and stinking. Even saw cockroaches. Not only is it unhygienic but is this the first impression we want to give to people arriving here? These are the most basic amenities — let’s clean up our act.” We hope Mehwish H that those whose duty it is to make aviation as civil an experience as possible are listening to you. If they are not, we can only deduce that, with cockroaches, they’re trying to present some kind of Kafka-esque interpretation of travelling.
