Off to RawalpindiSo after unsuccessful search of proper shaadi clothes, we took off for Rawalpindi the next afternoon. It was sad to leave Karachi so soon without enjoying its nights and night food. I was regretting not going to the Karachi Club with her khaloo. We were not planning to come back to Karachi before leaving for India. One side I was sad on the other side I was excited to go to Rawalpindi. The city of the fastest bowler of the world. And the beautiful Islamabad.
We reached there around 5pm. Fatee's cousin was suppose to pick us up from the airport. Again, we were there waiting outside. Then I saw a car parked on the opposite side with a beautiful, jaana pehchana face. After a few moments I realised that was Fatee's younger sister. Her cousin was looking for us. We found him. We started off towards Sadar. The roads started with wide, clean, controlled ones and were transforming into congested, dusty, narrow inner city roads. When it became narrowest and most congested, full of potholes and hawkers, Fatee told me we are in Sadar :-)
I loved the feel of the place. Busy. Loads of food stalls, naan-kababs, tikka shops, etc etc. I knew that very moment that I will love to be in Pindi.
