Gandhi makes the shopkeepers of Bahadur Shah Market in Karachi smile even today. It’s their private little joke that unbeknownst to thousands of people who pass by each day, have the Indian icon smiling down at them. This surprising wrought-iron reminder of the past can be found in the balconies of the two-storey Azeem Mahal which was built in 1933, at a time before any resident of Karachi could have been sure this city would be in Pakistan one day. It was not unusual before Partition in 1947 for buildings in the bustling port city of Karachi to be embellished with such artwork. DJ Science College and St Joseph’s Convent High School have tiles from Belgium, Michaelangelo’s cherubs flit in the masonry high above the traffic-crazed streets of Saddar and alternating Roman and lancet arches line Bunder Road at Lakshmi Das and Saleh Mohammed Streets circa 1920. In fact, Azeem Mahal is located on Mohan Road, named after Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the man himself. The road starts from MA Jinnah Road (Bundar Road), crosses the famous Urdu Bazaar book market and goes up to the Sindh Assembly building.

Noor Provision Stores, Ration Shop No-1435. I found this Garden area in the downtown of #Karachi In 1960s, in #Pakistan such shops were given licences (the one that is mentioned on this shop) and these shops were authorized shop to sale major commodities including staple food grains, such as wheat, rice, sugar, and kerosene, through a network of fair price shops (also known as ration shops) established in cities across #Pakistan.  #AmarGuriro #ProvisionShop #RationShop #1960s #Shop #Downtown #staplefood #grains #wheat #rice #sugar,#kerosene #OldPakistan #oldKarachi

A green sea turtle is burring the eggs that she laid just few minutes ago in a pit at Sandspit beaches of Karachi #Pakistan. #AmarGuriro It is almost end of the turtle nesting season on the Hawksbay and Sandspit beaches in Karachi. Virtually all marine turtles’ nesting sites in Sindh are on the Hawksbay and Sandspit beaches, (Named after the pits in sand that are made by these green sea turtle for egg laying) concentrated along seven-kilometre stretch, but extending in some degree along the entire beach strip. These two beaches constitute as one of the most important green turtle nesting sites in the world. Sea turtles enjoy a protected status in Pakistan. However, an issue of major concern is that even though the turtles are protected, their nesting habitats, including the Karachi beaches, are not. A report states that less than 1,000 turtles left on Sindh's shores. #GreenTurtle #TurtleEggs #TortugaVerde #Tortuga #Turtle #Eggs #Beach #Sand #Sandspit #Pakistan #Sindh #TurtleWatch #Turtle #GreenTurtleEggs #greenturtleeggs #turtleisland #greenturtle #greenseaturtle #greenturtle #seaturtle #turtletuesday #grenadines #goodtimes #reptile #marinereptile #seaturtlefanpage #Cetacean #Sindh_pictures #turtleconservation #Wildlife

Azeema Hassan, 40, is sitting inside a small hut that is used as kitchen at day time and a bedroom at night. She is cooking lunch for eight members of her family. She lives in the Goth Abdul Karim, around 7 kilometers away from Gadani Shipbreaking yard near Hub city of Balochistan, Pakistan. She is mother of Sanaullah Hassan, 18, a shipbreaking yard worker, who had fallen prey to deadly blaze that swept through Gadani shipbreaking yard, Gadani town, Balochistan, Pakistan, on November 01, 2016 . According to the provincial government of Balochistan, Pakistan, 25 workers lost their lives in this incident. Sanaullah was the only breadwinner of the family of eight.

This giant #grasshopper (around four inches long)  I found it near #Chotiyaroon #dam #Sanghar #Sindh #Pakistan. Yellow and spotted, either like a very small banana or a very much smaller #leopard. And the wings! Such a brilliant shade of blue.  Grasshoppers are important pest of different crops such as rice, maize, millet, sugarcane and other grasses and farmers consider them as their enemy. #AmarGuriro #ChotiyaroonDam #wildlife #Orthoptera #Color #Nature #Insect #Pest #RiceGrasshoppers #Yellow #Blue #Pink #GiantGrasshopper

These are crocodiles of Manghopir, which is one of the oldest areas of Karachi. The pond is populated by dozens of crocodiles who are regularly fed by visitors to the shrine. The area is famous for the shrine of Sufi saint, Pir Mangho. There is also a sulphur spring outside the shrine and devotees believe that the water of the spring is good for skin diseases. Devotees also believe the crocodiles are manifestations of the Sufi saint.
