<br />Well, Azeem not meant to be a downer,. but I was sort of dissapointed the way Karachi has taken to. I got the opportunity to re visit Karachi after quite many years, and it does give an impression of being worn down and having lost its character. ! So have the new local Govts. done any good. Lahore has taken for the better with the City Govt. doing just a bit better on the general municipal facilities.

Dont know Pracs, when i compare todays Khi to that of early and mid 90's I see a significant improvement in all aspects specially the liveliness and the 'something happening' kind of feeling.
Karachi never got what it deserved for many reasons, unjust policies initiated and politicians capitalised ditching khi everytime.
yaar i left khi some 3 and a half yrs back. Had two short visits in between, spent most of my time with family, cant comment on the impact of local govts. during my last visit i did notice a certain vibe in the city and a hope & drive in people.
