Hotel Metropole : Karachi

A 1960s shot of Karachi’s famous Hotel Metropole that was famous for its night clubs and bars. The hotel today is being torn down and turned into a shopping and office complex. Half of it has already been turned into a ‘wedding garden.’ Behind it was the Palace Cinema that was extremely popular with college and university students. The cinema was torn down in the 1980s and has since been operating as a ‘marriage hall.’

کراچی کا ماضی

آج میں آپ کو ڈیڑھ سو برس پیچھے لے جانا چاہتا ہوں۔ آپ کو ماضی کی سیر کرانا چاہتا ہوں۔ آپ کو ویزا کی یا پاسپورٹ کی ضرورت نہیں پڑے گی۔ گزرا ہوا کل دیکھنے کے لیے آپ کو کسی قسم کا ٹکٹ خریدنے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے۔ بیتے ہوئے ادوار کی طرف ہوائی جہاز، ریل گاڑی اور بسیں نہیں جاتیں، میں آپ سے دنیا دکھانے کا وعدہ نہیں کرتا۔ ہیروشیما پر ایٹم بم گرانے کا بھیانک آنکھوں دیکھا حال میں آپ کو سنا نہیں سکتا۔ ہندوستان کے ایک جزیرہ انڈومان پر انگریزوں نے روح فنا کردینے جیسی جیل بنائی تھی۔ سمندر میں گھرے ہوئے انڈومان جیل میں سیاسی قیدیوں کو پابند سلاسل کیا جاتا تھا۔ انڈومان جیل میں آپ کو نہیں دکھائوں گا۔ میں آپ کو یہ بھی نہیں دکھائوں گا کہ شہنشاہ ہند اورنگزیب نے کس بیدردی سے اپنے تین بڑے بھائیوں کو قتل کروا دیا تھا۔ ماضی کی جھلک دکھاتے ہوئے میں اس بات پر بحث نہیں کروں گا کہ ہندو اور مسلمانوں میں پھوٹ ڈالنے کے لیے انگریز نے ریلوے پلیٹ فارم اور ریل گاڑیوں میں ہندو پانی اور مسلمان پانی، ہندو کھانے اور مسلمان کھانے کا رواج ڈالا تھا۔ میں آپ کو یہ بھی نہیں بتائوں گا کہ تب کراچی سے کلکتہ جانے کے لیے آپ کو ویزا کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی تھی۔ آپ کو صرف ریل گاڑی کا ٹکٹ خریدنا پڑتا تھا۔ معاملہ کچھ یوں تھا کہ اگست انیس سو سینتالیس سے پہلے ہندوستان میں رہنے والے ہم سب لوگ پیدائشی طور پر ہندوستانی ہوتے تھے۔

کراچی، لاہور اور پشاور میں پیدا ہونے والے بھی پیدائشی ہندوستانی Born Indian ہوتے تھے۔ مدراس سے بمبئی آنے جانے پر روک ٹوک نہیں ہوتی تھی۔ ایسا ہوتا تھا ہمارے دور کا برصغیر، کڑھنے یا میری نسل کو برا بھلا کہنے سے زمینی حقائق بدل نہیں سکتے۔ اگست 1947ء سے پہلے ہندوستان کا بٹوارہ نہیں ہوا تھا۔ اگست 1947ء سے پہلے پاکستان عالم وجود میں نہیں آیا تھا۔ لہٰذا اگست 1947ء سے پہلے ہم سب نے ہندوستان میں جنم لیا تھا۔ تب کراچی، لاہور اور پشاور برٹش انڈیا کا حصہ تھے۔ یہ تاریخی حقیقت ہے، گھڑی ہوئی کہانی نہیں ہے۔ ہندوستان کی تاریخ میں ہمارا اہم اور بہت بڑا حصہ ہے۔ میں نے سیانوں سے سنا ہے کہ اپنے تاریخی اور ثقافتی حصہ سے دستبردار ہونا کسی بھی لحاظ سے مناسب نہیں ہوتا۔ اس لمبی چوڑی اور نامعقول تمہید کا مطلب اور مقصد بھی یہی ہے جو ابھی ابھی میں نے آپ کے گوش گزار کیا ہے۔ میں آپ کو سیر کروانے کے لیے لے جارہا ہوں مچھیروں کی چھوٹی سی بستی کی طرف۔ یہ بستی نامعلوم صدیوں سے بحر عرب کے کنارے آباد ہے۔ اب یہ چھوٹی سی بستی ایک بہت بڑے تجارتی شہر میں بدل چکی ہے۔ 

یوں بھی نہیں ہے کہ ڈیڑھ سو برس پہلے مچھیروں کی چھوٹی سی بستی گمنام تھی۔ تب ٹھٹھہ معہ اپنے اطراف کے مشہور تجارتی شہر ہوا کرتا تھا۔ بیوپاری اپنا سامان ملک سے باہر بھیجتے تھے اور بیرونی ممالک سے برآمد کیا ہوا سامان اپنے ملک سندھ میں بیچا کرتے تھے۔ تاریخ کے بد خواہ بھی اعتراف کرتے ہیں کہ سندھ انگریز کے آنے سے پہلے خودمختار ملک تھا۔ سندھ کبھی بھی ہندوستان کا حصہ نہیں تھا۔ اٹھارہ سو تینتالیس میں سر چارلس نیپئر نے فتح کرنے کے بعد سندھ کو ترقی پذیر اور ترقی یافتہ دیکھنے کے لیے بمبئی یعنی ممبئی صوبے سے ملا دیا تھا ۔ اس طرح انیس سو تینتالیس میں سندھ ہندوستان کا حصہ بنا۔ یہاں مجھے ایک تاریخی بات یاد آرہی ہے بلکہ دو باتیں یاد آرہی ہیں۔ 1947ء میں تقسیم ہند کے موقع پر کسی مسلمان سیاستدان نے انگریز سے سوال نہیں اٹھایا کہ انگریز کی فتح سے پہلے سندھ ایک الگ تھلگ خودمختار ملک تھا۔ تقسیم ہند سے پہلے سندھ کبھی بھی ہندوستان کا حصہ نہیں تھا۔ کسی بھی موقع پر کسی سیاستدان نے یہ سوال انگریز سے نہیں پوچھا تھا کہ آپ لوگوں نے سندھ ایک آزاد ملک کے طور پر جنگ میں جیتا تھا، ہندوستان کے ایک حصے یا صوبہ کے طور پر نہیں۔ 

اب آپ سندھ کا بٹوارہ ہندوستان کے ایک صوبہ کے طور پر کیوں کررہے ہیں؟ آپ سندھ کو ایک آزاد ملک کی طرح آزاد کیوں نہیں کرتے؟ اسی نوعیت کی دوسری بات بھی ہمارے سیاستدانوں نے انگریز سے نہیں پوچھی تھی۔ انگریز نے مکمل طور پر جب ہندوستان پر قبضہ کر لیا تھا تب ہندوستان پر مسلمانوں کی حکومت تھی۔ یہاں سے کوچ کرتے ہوئے آپ نے ہندوستان کے ٹکڑے کیوں کر دیے؟ انڈونیشیا، ملائیشیا، سری لنکا، نیپال وغیرہ کی طرح ایک ملک کے طور پر ہندوستان کو آزاد کیوں نہیں کیا؟ اور سب سے اہم بات کہ آپ نے ہندوستان مسلمان حکمراں سے جیتا تھا، ہندوئوں سے نہیں۔ جاتے ہوئے آپ نے ہندوستان کی حکومت مسلمانوں کے حوالے کیوں نہیں کی تھی؟ ڈیڑھ سو برس بعد ایسے سوال فضول محسوس ہوتے ہیں۔ انگریز میں بے شمار اچھائیاں تھیں، بے شمار برائیاں تھیں۔ انہوں نے بھرپور طریقے سے ہندوستان پر حکومت کی تھی۔ کراچی کو ننھا منا لندن بنانے میں کوئی کسر اٹھا نہیں رکھی تھی۔ جنہوں نے 1947ء کے لگ بھگ لندن دیکھا تھا، وہ کراچی کو چھوٹا سا لندن کہتے تھے اور پھر کراچی جب ہمارے ہتھے چڑھا، ہم نے انگریز کی نمایاں نشانیاں غائب کرنا شروع کر دیں۔ 

دنیا بھر کے مشہور شہروں میں آج بھی ٹرام رواں دواں ہے۔ ہم نے ٹرام کی پٹریاں اکھاڑ دیں۔ ٹرام اور ڈبل ڈیکر بسوں کا رواج ختم کر دیا۔ مشرقی اور مغربی امتزاج کی ملی جلی عمارتوں میں ایک عمارت کا نام تھا پیلس ہوٹل، یہ انتہائی خوب صورت عمارت تھی، ہم نے گرا دی۔ ایسی کئی عمارتیں ایلفنسٹن اسٹریٹ اور وکٹوریا روڈ صدر پر شاندار انداز میں موجود ہوتی تھیں۔ ہم نے ان عالی شان عمارتوں کا ستیاناس کر دیا۔ جانوروں کے لیے شہر میں جابجا پانی کے حوض ہوا کرتے تھے، ہم نے اکھاڑ دیے۔ کراچی سے ہم نے اس کا ماضی چھین لیا ہے۔

Pakistan’s Babar Azam in T20I

When Babar Azam takes the field on Friday, 14 April for the match against New Zealand, he will become the third Pakistan player to feature in 100 Men's T20Is

Shoaib Malik (123) and Mohammad Hafeez (119) are the two other Pakistan players to reach this milestone in men's T20Is.

The level-headed Pakistan captain is well known for his flamboyant batting style and along with Mohammad Rizwan forms an intimidating opening pair in T20Is.

As we celebrate his 100 T20Is, let's have a look at some of Babar's top innings in the format.

122 off 59 v South Africa, Centurion, 2021 — Babar and Rizwan are a force to reckon with. While Rizwan plays the role of an aggressor more often, there have been times when Babar has blown away the opposition with his explosive shots. The third T20I against South Africa in 2021 was one such example.

Chasing a formidable 204, Babar took the lead almost right from the start. After taking a couple of overs to adjust, he started pummelling the bowlers all over the park. His 50 came in just 27 balls and he accelerated after that with aplomb. He ended up with 122 off just 59 deliveries but unfortunately was dismissed with Pakistan needing just 7 to win, nevertheless having brought his side to the brink of victory. Pakistan then chased the total with two overs to spare. It was also Babar's first century in the format.

110* off 66 v England, Karachi, 2022 — Babar's second T20I century was no less impressive and this time it came at home. After losing the first T20I, Pakistan needed to hit back. England batted first and scored 199/5. Chasing another 200 score was not going to be easy but both Babar and Rizwan were in a different mood altogether. Babar, in particular, led the charge, smashing 110* off just 66 deliveries as Pakistan registered a 10-wicket victory over England. It was Babar who hit the winning runs, an inside-out four through covers celebrating a dominating win.

97* off 58 v West Indies, Karachi, 2018 — Babar's first Karachi masterclass came in 2018, four years before his hundred; an almost century innings against West Indies at home. Batting first, Pakistan lost Fakhar Zaman early, who had opened the innings with Babar. The 24-year-old Babar Azam had only hit three fifty-plus scores in his career then and came close to scaling three figures when he took on the Windies bowling attack single-handedly. Pairing with Hussain Talat at No.3, Babar hit 13 fours and a six on his way to 97* off 58 deliveries. Pakistan put up a huge total of 205/3 and defended it easily with their strong bowling attack.

79* off 53 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2022 — Babar's 79* was not in an high-scoring encounter but a low-scoring chase against New Zealand's celebrated bowling attack in their own backyard. The Pakistan bowlers had done their job keeping the Black Caps down to 147/8 in their 20 overs. But the hosts were not going down without a fight. They removed Rizwan early and crippled Pakistan further with a second wicket, leaving them at 37/2 in the sixth over. But Babar kept going. He rebuilt the Pakistan innings, first patiently stabilizing them, then pouncing on the bad balls to put them away. He formed crucial partnerships with the middle order and though New Zealand got a couple of more wickets, they had no answer to Babar. The Pakistan captain remained not out as the visitors claimed a six-wicket victory in the 19th over.

68* off 52 v India, Dubai, 2021 — The famous ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 match. While there were many heroes in the game, Babar's contribution to it cannot be forgotten. After India were restricted to 151/7, Pakistan went all out with the bat to bamboozle the Indian bowlers. Rizwan was sensational and Babar played the perfect fiddle for him. Both batters complemented each other and pummelled the Indian attack without any rest. Babar hit the winning runs helping Pakistan to their first victory over India in the history of the tournament.

Customary Thai massage appears to follow an unexpected example in comparison to other accessible choices. It doesn't impart numerous similitudes to Swedish or shiatsu massage strategies, which most westerners are acquainted with. Not at all like these procedures where individuals lie on a bed, an individual having a customary Thai massage lies on the floor and effectively takes part simultaneously.

However starting in India, customary Thai massage has acknowledged impacts from both Ayurvedic and conventional Chinese medication.

Conventional Thai Massage Methods: As currently said, customary Thai massage is not normal for any common Western-type massage.

id let u ruin me a thousand times over. One of the lesser talked attributes of love is: power. When a person is LOVED they get hold of this unsalvageable power like i read somewhere there eyes could have hell burning in them and you would still learn to love them.🏔️

I dont know how many khair hogayis i have left in me at this point. Because there is nothing khair about what is happening. 🧌

🍃I never pegged myself as the jealous kind. I always found myself giggling when someone was happy, but then i realized that some of the giggles were just twist in my guts because i have always been the woman of posession and throughout the history every person who held dear possesions have lost every single piece of it (not my philosophy it is the history book reality) (clearly missed second grade sharing is caring lesson)🍃

For the first time in the history of me i was craving winter and now that the wind is like 0.0000005 percent colder i want to kill myself. Some of us arent made for the blessings of karachi like winter, maybe we like the suffering? ⛰️

I lowkey love this whole writer thing because i could have the most unhinged red flag thoughts and i could gaslight everyone into thinking its misery (because it is) i knew writing would be my coping mechanism when at 8 years old i wrote the whole tom and jerry flying cat episode just for the sake of doing it (the assignment was a 10 line summary btw)🐦‍🔥

Architect Marvi Mazhar is shaping the city’s future while protecting its past

Courtesy daily Dawn Karachi. In every city’s time of need, there arises a saviour, and Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city which faces multiple challenges every day, has been fortunate to witness the emergence of remarkable women who have played the role of its rescuers, leaving an indelible mark on its history. Among them, one stands out today — the courageous and resilient Marvi Mazhar.

“It’s disheartening to find myself alone in this battle sometimes,” an exasperated Mazhar told me as we strolled through the labyrinthine streets of Saddar on a serene Sunday morning. The bustling city serving as the perfect backdrop to our conversation. An architect, heritage advocate and urban social thinker, Mazhar has dedicated her life and career to saving Karachi’s cultural and urban soul. She is not hopeless, she said, and that’s what defines her — her resilience, resistance and will to keep moving forward. As the timeless charm of Karachi’s pre-Partition buildings and its diverse ecosystem face threats in the form of relentless encroachments, vandalism, and illegal demolitions, the fight to preserve the megacity’s cultural beauty is a daily struggle for Mazhar. Following in the footsteps of other courageous women such as the great architect Yasmeen Lari and fearless social worker and urban planner Perween Rehman — though their fights looked slightly different from hers — she is a force to be reckoned with. “In court cases or legal judgment we are few who are expected to be the face of it all, fighting for heritage justice in countless places. It is important that more join this movement and focus on historical past as part of urban planning and it is now critical for academic institutes to focus on architecture education keeping history as an important annexure as way forward,” she told me. Not backing down in her pursuit to prevent Karachi from becoming another contemporary grey jungle, Mazhar is persistent in her struggle. From the remarkable restoration of the Karachi Cantt Railway Station to the phenomenal revival and restoration of Pakistan Chowk, her list of giving life back to historical buildings and spaces is commendably long.

Along with complicated and longstanding legal cases, she actively takes to social media to voice concerns about illegal demolitions and the government’s incompetence when it comes to it. Many times, the provincial government has taken action due to her perseverance. Reflecting on the love-hate relationship with the government and its development-related authorities, she described it as both frustrating and a necessary first step for making better decisions and envisioning a brighter future when it comes to urban sustainability. “Many of us tend to avoid collaboration with the government due to the perceived notion of how discouraging our government is, but now I believe that working together is necessary or else change won’t come,” she said.

Calling for partnership and communication, she added that government officials are also dealing with challenges and providing them with guidance can only benefit in protecting the city’s heritage and hence, its identity. The power of female influence Just as a strong and beautiful structure requires a solid foundation to distinguish itself from others, so too does an individual stand out with the support of certain influences. For Mazhar, the women in her life served as this foundational support, shaping her into the person she is today. Though lost to her early in life, her mother instilled a deep love for Karachi within Mazhar and her sisters from a young age. Taking them on drives through the city, her mother showcased its vibrant hustle and bustle, especially during religious festivals, including visits to the famous Old Clifton area with its architectural marvels and heritage sites — very much the subjects that now form the essence of Mazhar’s work. The other major influence on her life was the master architect herself — Yasmeen Lari — who is hailed as Pakistan’s first women architect and a giant in the building and urban planning industry. Mazhar’s eyes glimmered when she mentioned Lari, whom she worked with for about seven years. She described it as one of the most valuable times of her life — a time she learned how to be resilient and patient while taking on both government and goons. “It would simply be an understatement to say that she was merely my inspiration behind everything in life; for the courage and resilience required in my profession, I give her full credit.” Sharing an interesting anecdote from her first meeting with Lari, she recalled being asked by Lari herself to speak to her after having read the architect’s book. Reflecting on the moment, she saw it as a learning experience that had come full circle as she has contributed to a book on Lari herself. The Banyan Tree Conservation Project Mazhar, who is unique in her battle and commitment to preserve Karachi’s monumental heritage sites, its rich cultural fabric and intricate ecological landscape, has proven to be unique with her projects and initiatives too. From curating and promoting heritage walks, to holding insightful lectures on heritage and history and even producing a film documenting the region’s rich past, she has made a real difference with her efforts to improve the state of the city we live in and the spaces we occupy.

Top five T20I knocks in honor of Babar Azam

Babar Azam will make history when he enters the field on Friday, April 14, against New Zealand as the third Pakistani player to appear in 100 Men's T20Is.

The only two Pakistani players to accomplish this mark in men's T20Is are Shoaib Malik (123) and Mohammad Hafeez (119).

The cool-headed Pakistan captain and Mohammad Rizwan make for a formidable opening tandem in Twenty20 Internationals.

In honor of Babar's 100th T20I appearance, here are a few of his most impressive knocks in the format.

122 off 59 vs. South Africa, Centurion, 2021

The duo of Babar and Rizwan is formidable. Although Rizwan often takes the lead in initiating conflict, Babar has occasionally blasted away the opponent with his devastating shots. One such match was the third Twenty20 International against South Africa in 2021.

Babar, who had to beat a challenging 204, started ahead. After needing a few overs to settle in, he began wreaking havoc on the bowlers. His fifty came off of only 27 balls, and he kept on charging with ease. He scored 122 runs off 59 balls, bringing his team to the cusp of victory before being removed with 7 runs still needed. Then, with two overs to spare, Pakistan was able to chase down the target. Also, this was Babar's first century ever.

110* off 66 vs. England, Karachi, 2022

This was Babar's second T20I century, and it was just as remarkable as the first. Pakistan needed to respond after losing the first Twenty20 International. In their first innings, England scored 199 runs. Babar and Rizwan were in a different mindset, and they were going to have to work hard to beat their previous 200 scores. Pakistan defeated England by 10 wickets with Babar's help. He scored 110* from 66 deliveries. Babar knocked in the winning runs with an inside-out four through the covers, capping off a decisive victory.

97* off 58 vs. West Indies, Karachi, 2018

In 2018, four years before he scored a hundred, Babar played a superb inning at home against the West Indies that nearly reached that mark. Fakhar Zaman, who had begun the innings for Pakistan with Babar, was dismissed in the opening over. Babar Azam, then 24 years old, nearly reached triple digits while facing the Windies bowling attack alone. He had previously only scored three fifty-plus scores in his career. Babar, batting third with Hussain Talat, faced 58 balls and made 97 (not out) off them by hitting 13 fours and a six. Pakistan scored an impressive 205/3 and successfully defended their total with their formidable bowling assault.

79* off 53 vs. New Zealand, Christchurch, 2022

Babar's 79* came in a low-scoring chase against New Zealand's legendary bowling assault on their home turf. After 20 overs, Pakistan's bowlers had successfully limited the Black Caps to 147 for 8. Yet, the hosts did not surrender without a struggle. They took the crucial early wicket of Rizwan, reducing Pakistan to 37/2 in the sixth over. But Babar did not stop. He carefully stabilized the Pakistani batting, then pounced on poor balls to finish the game. Even though New Zealand took a few more wickets, they were helpless against Babar's partnerships with the middle order. As the visitors won by six wickets in the 19th over, the Pakistan skipper remained not out.

68* off 52 vs. India, Dubai, 2021

This is the 2021 Men's ICC T20 World Cup game. Babar was one of many heroes, yet his efforts always stood out. Once India's score was reduced to 151/7, Pakistan's batting effort was magnified to confuse the Indian bowlers. Babar complemented Rizwan's incredible performance perfectly on violin. The two hitters worked well together and relentlessly pounded the Indian defense. Babar's game-winning hits, including some that drew significant attention for online cricket betting, led Pakistan to their first victory over India in the tournament's history.
