Welcome back to motherland

(Dr natasha, Ivano frankivsk ukraine)

This one fine day travelling back to Pakistan from Europe after almost an year I felt anxiety of seeing friends family questions expectations and so much more I didn't know how I would react but then things went smooth. Reaching Karachi one year was so short it hadn't changed but I figured out lawlessness is back in fashion so new rule was to keep phones hidden and not to stop on signals or else loose ur belongings to some dagger biker. Well that wasn't so disappointing more encroachment in streets. Illegal buildings, dance party and druggie snaps all over internet. Late night defence phase 7 some teen kids popping out from a sunscreen of some dammed Mercedes holding a Champaign bottle drinking and French kissing. Same malls same beach same chalked photos and just a few new road trAcks nothing much. After a week in k-city I flew for Islamabad the capital the pride the federal the the and so many the attached to the name and what do I find demolished roads under construction city excessive traffic. On school off timings a man just left his car on the middle of a main road. If it wasn't enough I went on to the Centaurus Mall nicely made I shopped a bit and went to the food court group of guys facing the escalator rating every girl passing by in a loud voice and I was like capital and people seriously. My trip ended very next day and there I was off to Lahore to meet my cousin n her family.

Suddenly a guy came out of nowhere slammed his middle finger from the windscreen abused and left. That's probably Lahore trending. There was sewerage water on roads and huge malls full of people, bahria town with the Eiffel replica seemed enchanting the rest of Lahore was same nothing had changed unwelcoming faces rude behavior so how do I trend in Lahore no I can't it's safe but not accepting newbies. A week was enough for my small family reunion I then took a PIA flight from Lahore to sukkur costing me 110$ I thought it would be a normal small plane but I ended up getting on the infamous crashing type planes of PIA apparently no complains the flight was smooth but the plane was rotten to a level I wish I had taken pictures. Landed and there was my driver I was finally gonna go home after two years it's not the long but as for me it was.

My driver drove me from sukkur to larkana. Oh yes you read it right larkana. Two prime ministers, most of the minister's, secretaries and political heads belong to this city. So I reached .... no electricity ... means no water because apparently there is no govt municipal water supply ... yes you read it right ... not to forget there are no roads left here ... it's just the ruined old tracks ... you are eligible to drive from the age of nine 9 .. you ride bike .. drive cars what so ever so one is going to object .. this is a free town do what ever you like there are no limits no laws traffic has no rules .. there is no sign of business paying tax there is no sign of literate civilized society. My trip isn't about comparison of my country with any other but it's an appeal to the people to stand up and speak for themselves. It's a plea to the government to stop corruption and let prosper,
It's a request to all citizens this is your place keep it beautiful.
Don't destroy your homeland because nothing is forever.
