Summer in Karachi: Simple, Breezy and Gorgeous

on Monday, May 27, 2013


May is really a seminal 30 days in Karachi, a good medium which gives a real taste of Southern Asian summer time. The agonizing April temperature is actually ubiquitous; however, in later afternoons you are able to listen to the cuckoo’s track, which makes it palatable. The school children will begin to count the number of days left to get their summer vacation started.

Karachi’s weather condition during the summer is actually unreliable. However, the fresh essence of air after sunset and the beauty of heavenly nights will make you forget all difficulties of daytime.

In the past, the summer is linked with mangoes fiestas, which usually looked much better when stolen from the neighbors’ home. Though morning time is ideal to consume the king of fruits, it tastes equally great while being taken with Baisan ki roti at lunch.

There are some other homemade mango pleasures; for example goodies, mixtures, lead pages, pickles etc. The delicious one named Amrohvi filfora – a unique combination of mango pulp, onions as well as chilly is consumed at lunch time along with buttered breads.

Mangoes are a famous source of joy; however, equally fascinating along with the summer time sport activities such as Cricket which was the most popular sport in Pakistan for quite a long time. Summer evenings would offer great utilization of Cricket, watching and playing a number of Imran Khan.

Besides, young teams use to indulge in various indoor gaming activities like carom, ludo, chess etc to out-beat their boredom in the lazy afternoons. Monopoly and cards were also very popular ones those days.

Summer time meant going to friends at daytime and passing the night time at home. However, inviting family members, as well as, friends without any reason was also a part of it. This intended accessing summer time pleasures – video gaming for example. Comics would be the greatest source of pleasure in isolation or even with grandma and grandpa who would no way requested ridiculous queries regarding studies, as well as, outfits.

The actual dull times might stack up, heat would improve, and whenever you believed that Dante’s inferno would be upon us soon alive, the heavens might open up and straight down away everything with a deluge associated with comfortable summer time rainfall. The lashing monsoon might clean aside both mental and physical muck, leaving behind spirits weightless.

Load shedding was a major crisis and power generators were still highly expensive. So the sound of the machines was often replaced by the cries of little kids and calls of Baraf Pani, which was usually played in the roads.

Elderly used to plan a trip to the beach where we would have a great time playing in refreshing waters. Our mothers would prepare sumptuous food for feeding large battalions of youngsters at the beach party.

School buying might begin by August, and one could hear the agony of children desperately trying to delay the end of summer. However, we would eventually prepare to welcome another fabulous Karachi summer!
