Dears All, Oh, what a memory of Karachi, Mr Saleem I am very thankful to pass these pictorial history of Karachi. My birth place is Karachi, but for the last 33 years I am in Saudi Arabia and I wonders when I goes to Karachi on yearly vacation really I can't recognoise that Karachi and present Karachi. In the 9th picture in your mail the back ground showing skeleton, if you remember this skeleton was famous by the name of "KALA CHAPRA" and was situated in between Karachi Airport and Malir City and was dismanteled in I think in 1975. If you have more pictures of other places of Karachi, like Liaquatabad (old Lalukhet), Nazimabad, Ranchoreline etc. etc. Please forward. I love my Karachi too much. My best wishes for Karachi and its residents.
