A Greener Karachi.....
W as visiting Karachi after 7 years & I saw these Morning Glories (they are weeds in South India) growing wildly around the Sea View Apartments. Stubbornly growing on the road sides (as Aman Khalique put it) It was a moment of joy: "hey that’s pretty". It was a pleasant surprise: Defense.. Clifton areas looked prettier than before..the walls were higher.. nevertheless there was greenery.. & When there is green there is hope. Why don’t the Karachites start sowing seeds /saplings -nuture them and wait for them to grow—.. & make Karachi a more pleasing place. A restaurant called Saffron has a very character full tree growing out side its Moorish gate. I saw plenty of Bottle Brushes and Gull Mohars.. Well done. I saw the Neem tree grow taller (sown by my brother) & the hedges around the homes in the Sea View neighbourhood were neatly pruned. Well done Karachites.. keep your green hopes up.. strive for a greener Karachi.. A better environment.
