Everything is a fight in this place. Tried to get into the park and the Afghan consulate guards threatened to report me. I said report me, here are my details. Because last time I checked this park was for the public. Bagh-e-Rustom

This city isn’t for its people. I am lucky as a journalist to have at least been able to call up the mayor’s office. To known some rights. The Afghan consulate has blocked off roads and it security has no right to prevent me from entering a park in my neighbourhood.

The KMC budget didn’t include money for this park so work stopped. It is only by making a fuss, pushing for days that I had the padlock taken off. Hasnain Lotia designed open boundary walls and iron rods were put in. We are the only crazy city that polices people entering parks

I am just happy that a few FC bullies don’t bother me. They stand and threaten to report me and think that will scare me. I say report me and have me arrested for wanting to enter my neighbourhood park. Just do it.

Each day Karachi brings me a new sadness.
