Life at a standstill

Late last night (around 3am? 4am?) it started pouring in Karachi, and hasn't stopped since! Roads are flooded (drainage? what's that?), including Zamzama and the lane right behind my apartment:

Flooded road

As a result, life has pretty much come to a standstill. The board meeting scheduled for this evening has been cancelled, and the apartment inspections organised after having the board meeting cancelled were themselves cancelled.

I can't complain, though. The rain is a welcome change to the oppressive heat here in Karachi.

  • my mum said the same thing. It’s been poring cats and dogs hehe… The roads don’t have a drain as they do here in Australia. After a few days of water being stagnant you’ll notice the roads breaking up faster than before…
