A first-of-its-kind library was inaugurated in Karachi on wednesday December 25^th 2019, the birthday of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The project is an initiative of Karachi Commissioner Iftikhar Ali Shalawani. The library is located near the Metropol building. Chief Secretary Sindh Mumtaz Ali Shah was the chief guest on the occasion. Addressing the function, Iftikhar Ali Shalawani said that he has directed the Deputy Commissioners of each district to set up a street library after selecting their locations. He said that the administration was improving Karachi on the directives of Chief Minister Sindh and Chief Secretary. He said that an initiative has been taken to revive the culture of book reading which should be appreciated and promoted. The Chief Secretary appreciated the efforts of Commissioner Karachi in taking creative initiative. Between the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other members of the Pakistan Movement, wooden books are placed along the decoration wall around the Metropolis building. The library will operate on a "take the book and leave the book" basis. The idea behind Pakistan’s first street library is to promote the culture of reading so our young generation learns value books.

During my stay in Karachi two year ago, I intended to have soup with my friend. So we offered Maghrib prayers in Karachi Gymkhana mosque with friend and walked to the most awakening area of Karachi which is Saddar.

Go straight on Merewether road after crossing first roundabout and few steps ahead in front of the Air Arabia Office Karachi office next to village restaurant, a beautiful sitting area and lights attracted us towards it. There was a pleasant feeling and I found myself in front of Street Library of Karachi. Never the less we gave up on our soup desire and we lost ourselves in the shelves of books and newspapers of street library. We picked up some books and reviewed them and studied newspapers which gave us pretty pleasant feelings. Read Qauid-e-Azam and Allama iqbal messages written on walls from my heart we pay Tribute to every other person who had put all of their efforts to building up this mesmerizing place.

Street library shows the attachment of people of Karachi with literature.

My First Trip of Abroad

2020-06-20T21:48:00.056+05:00

Highlights of Dubai:

Dubai is a city and emirate in the (UAE) United Arab Emirates familiar for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture and a lively nightlife scene. Burj Khalifa, an 830m-tall skyscraper. Dubai Fountain, The Palm, a resort with water and marine-animal. Dubai is most beautiful tourist city in the world where tourists come from everywhere in the world. Dubai is the second largest emirate in the federation after the Emirate of AbuDhabi, It is considered the economic capital of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is characterized by a free and vibrant economy.

I was so excite it was my first wonderful experience. I had absolutely no experience with this sort of travel so relying on my friend’s advice and suggestions. I had prepared my language a day in advance. I reached airport two hour ago to clear my immigration requirements.

Of the flight down to the Dubai, which is my arrival destination, I travel through Emirates Airline one of the best airline of world, after being up in the air, I had enjoy in flight meal and then it was just a matter or amusing myself until we finally landed Dubai International Airport Terminal No 3. All Emirates flights arrive or depart from here on their journey around the world, after immigration I reached Dubai metro station and reached Intercity Bus stop. My childhood friend was living in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) so I decided to go and meet with them. It felt longer then the plane ride itself. When finally got off the bus, he is waiting there. I spend two day with my friend and enjoy roaming city and observe rich cultures of locals after two day early morning left for Dubai.

I spend near one month in Dubai. Lived in vary popular area Deira Dubai. My friend living in sharing with his friend’s so they all can save huge amount of money, you can see the glimpse of living in pictures. The city of Dubai is very neat and clean. Bus stops are well maintained. Dubai metro experience is lovely, Burj Khalifa, musical fountain, markets, Shopping malls, See food markets and much more specially live like a local and then exploring is another level of rich experience as well as explores daily life routine of Dubai and other UAE states. Specially thanks to my friend who arranged my accommodation in Dubai.

Everything abroad reflects the country’s progress, development and discipline. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Dubai is indeed a great city where people from all countries and different religions live in peace and harmony.

That first trip overseas has become more than just a memory of a vacation.

Traveling gives as full knowledge, it can help us to learn about other how they live and behave in their daily life routine. Travel it's important to learning new languages to develop skills that we didn’t know we had, to create meaningful relationships during our trips.

It’s lovely and mind-blowing experience to see other kinds of nature, traditions and habits. Now traveling becomes very easy and cheap. We can do it by train, car airplanes. Our journey anywhere in the world has become very easy and comfortable, some people have to travel for work so not every travel can be our pleasure because this kind of people are often far from home.

What is important about travel? Choose the right place or places. We chose where we are going to go on what type of travel we went like adventure travels, cultural travels, romantic travels, tourism travels, relaxing travels, business travelers and so on. It depends on what we are looking for.

In my point of view our education remains incomplete without traveling. Travel gives us practical experience and change the way we have been looking the world. The whole time of the travel is a way to discover not only new places but new emotions too. It's the greatest way to spend our time!
