Oh c'mon...every city has its own eccentricities...why do people only pick on khi? ...i bet if the aliens land in NY they would find funnier things

Thankyou for the pleasant write up on Karachi, by the way whatever happened to the Aquarium on Clifton?

No barking dog has ever been able to swallow a fast-moving vehicle.

haha loving the comments- totally agree with bhs75- this description doesn't fit with the areas you mention- those are a lot more difficult to tackle for the aliens though-

Thank you for pointing out where this write up could be stronger

MQM has been collecting foreskins of its splinter group recently!

I think the first thing that aliens would have to do in Karachi, in order to survive, would be to pay bhatta to the MQM. MQM also accepts skins.

Welcome Miss Husain!

No, I don't own chowq; I only spank it for being unjust.

Thanks for sharing humor. The aliens could come across:
The 15 year old who describes his sad story eloquently to impress you out of few bucks.
The blood(paan) stained walls and pavements.
The free of cost commercial advertising of psychics and VD experts.
The Baqar-eid day when animal hide is scattered allover the city showing the zeal of 'sacrifice'.
The chest-beating and self-inflicting wounds of muharram with delicious "tabarruk" at the end of sessions.
Karachi---fun never stops if you could ignore the stench, dirt, poverty, pain and heat.
Those huddling around a mom-batti flame in the darkness of a sewer puffing on heroin will tell you just that.

... obviously she has not been to "bhati gate" area, and the complex streets around "shahi muhallah !!!", I said "around" ... not "inside" ... so those who are thinking hmmm ...

can hold that thought right there !!!! :)
