If there is one city I am a citizen of, it is Karachi. But us Karachiites have a too-often unstated, but very visceral bond with
that other city across the Gulf to our South. One of our favourite tunes is the oldone: Bamba'ee sae aayaa maeraa dost, dost ko salaam karo... Both Karachiites and Mumbaikars, more than others, will know what I refer to.
We, in Karachi, have seen our share of blood on the streets, destruction and mayhem. And as the news comes infrom Mumbai, we pray for our friend, our dost to the South. That fair city is one of South Asia's greatest, even if one goes just
by how much of humanity calls it home.
