So Karachi...

Karachi was good at times, tiresome at others. i could see any changes after nine years of absence. everything looked and felt the same. the food was yummy as expected, but spicy as hell. i would have had some stomach problems had i stayed longer. people only know one kind of hospitality there, FOOD. they will make you eat and eat and eat until you puke, but refusing is considered rude so tht cant be done either. i dont know how people lose weight there, ive put so much on!! :(
km had to make this visit memorable or rather as memorable as possible and hence we had to take him to omi in the dead of night as he had severe food poisoning due to the quantities of food he was consuming off the street.
the only thing i felt was very strange was the fact that at times it seemed dirt cheap to me, as in the case of books. i probably bought around 15-18 and they costed me something i the area of 160 dirhams. which is nothing. but as far as good clothes and good food was concerned, man it was exorbitant!! i dont know how people live there! there is no balance whatsoever in the prices of things!! another thing which was strange was the food in fast food joints! pizza hut was unimpressive and nando's gave me indigestion. verrryyy wierd.
but after all it was fun, met up with ghazal after so many years. eventhough we only spent a day together i had so much fun! and after seeing her work and the effort she puts into it i could only say i have nothing what so ever to fret about regarding my school work coz we get off pretty easily as compared. on which note i might add, results are almost out. i havent flunked as i expected, so thts a relief :)
work is better as time passes and i suppose once i get used to it, it'll all feel routine and everyday soon.
its the marathon tomorrow and im doing the 10k. which is stupid as i havent even run a km for four months now. i shall see how tht goes.
ill post pics from the trip soon, so ill get back to work now.
