As-salam alaikum everyone,
I have continued my newly found tradition of making videos of my excursions around Karachi. Last Saturday I finally managed to get inside Sadequain Gallery, which is in Frere Hall. It was a lovely sunny day as you can see from the video and I had a great time exploring new sights in Karachi.
I have been in Pakistan for over 6,5 months now and slowly my time is drawing to an end. Soon it is time for me to bid farewell to my friends here and head back to Finland for the summer. Aah, nothing beats the summers in Finland so I would not want to miss that for anything. Pleasant weather, green trees and forest everywhere, sun bathing and swimming and sauna by a lake or the Baltic sea, BBQ with friends and family, long walks outside, concerts and festivals not to forget the long nightless nights with the sun that almost never sets. Finland just bubbles with life after a long winter. It is all very opposite to my life in Karachi where the sun keeps on appearing throughout the year and it never really gets that cold. It has been a good getaway from the Finnish winter this year. I've heard that we have had piles of snow and seriously cold temperatures for long now.
So just watch this video and marvel the blue skies and sunshine in Karachi.
P.S. Sadequain seems an interesting character and his work is beautiful. He was apparently responsible for the renaissance of Islamic Calligraphy in Pakistan.
