I just returned from a very short trip to Dubai.
Besides being subjected to three PCR Nasal swabs (including 1 throat) in four days (our nostrils now stand permanently ‘flared’ 😊), I thought I would dabble in some self-made poetry …
We visit Dubai –
Built on sand
Sand as far as the eye can see
… and not a spec of sand on the roads!

We live in Karachi –
A concrete jungle
… with sand (dirt, debris, you name it …) everywhere!

(Sad but true … sigh!)
(End note:
It is criticism … it is feedback … censure me if you must … but this is the reality we live in! As citizens, we need to own our City … which we don’t, sadly! https://dinshawavari.com/2019/08/30/ohthe-clean-clean-not-streets-of-karachi/)
