Karachi - City of Hope

www.pakpositive.com

Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan and the 7th largest in the world is commonly known by people as the city of lights, but I gave it a new title, \"The City of Hope\".

Thousands of people migrate to Karachi from rural areas on a daily basis in search of employment.

And none of them has ever gone back, the city of hope not only provides employment to them but it also provides them with accommodation.

Some live in small huts, cottages, owner\'s house (in which they work as a caretaker) and some find footpath comfortable.

Some migrants work here as blacksmiths, some run small hotels or in traditional language \"chai wala\", some drives taxi or the traditional and famous rickshaws, some also drive street buses, some run the bread shop called \"roti tandoor\", some set up milk shops and small general stores and the rest get occupied in a total profit business, beggars or fakeer.

Some who are a bit class conscious don\'t work as beggars but become robbers.

Some become street snatchers, some become kidnappers and the rest become burglars and shoe robbers outside the mosques.

We can discuss a lot on the \"the city of hope\" but we will do it next time as the readers must be short on time.
