A day of inactivity


Wednesday, January 18, 2012


Early I left the lillte champ to his school and got print my ticket from army medical college where lot of medical students were busy with their studies and shoot to the airport to for my gilgit flight. My ticket was booked by Mr. Altaf sb of AKRSP who is a very nice person though I did t meet him but his arranged my ticket just on short notice. At the airport there was a chaos and the waiting room was filled with passengers because flights were delayed due to fog over the air strip there. I sat in the mob of people there and gazed all around to see different people going to Karachi, Lahore, Gilgit and elsewhere in the country. I anxiously wait and prayed for the flight to happen but after long wait to my bad luck it was cancelled and I was dismayed at my fate. With heavy heart I left the airport after collecting my luggages and went back to home. Meanwhile Younis also arrived from Chitral and went to hotel in Islamabad. Altaf Sir was quite kind to make another booking for me and this time in the first flight for the next morning. So I again happily repeated the same schedule of going to police station and then to sadder where I got some notebook from my favorite Chick Bazar (I don’t know why it is called so :p). Came back and in the night slept late and it was my fault not to set alarm for the next morning where my flight was at 7pm and I had to go at leat around 5 o clock to the airport.

In Pakistan Public Sector infrastructure projects are plagued by delays and some are altogether abandoned after partial work. The 23 KM long metro has 24 station. Today I had a glimpse of Pakistan Secretariat Station of it. There is quite excitement among the travelers and many are travelling just to have fun. Few pics here. Although secretariat is closed today being Saturday, still large number of public was seen buying tickets and Metro-Bus Card.  To avoid queuing up the line to buy ticket, a better option is to get a Metro-Bus Card. The card can be reloaded and costs 130 Rs for the first time and subsequently rec...
