Security Alarm

Yesterday evening as I was preparing to write the blog suddenly I heard some movement downstairs, within minutes I was told that some thieves have entered our neighbour’s home. There were security alarms, guards and on-time police. It appeared like a movie scene, police were on the roof with flashlights and announcements to surrender.

Thankfully, thankfully nothing happened and thieves ran off without causing any trouble most probably due to the high-tech alarm systems.

What has happened to Karachi, anyone you meet these days have their own robbery or mobile snatching tale. You buy a new expensive phone and you are afraid to take it outside your house.

Not long ago car theft or mobile snatching was unheard of in Karachi. Ladies would wear their gold ornaments without any fear and now even the brides wear artificial jewelry on their wedding day.

So much has changed today, however, if that time didn’t last then I have faith that this time shall also pass. Nothing ever stays the same- it changes, it transforms into betterment. Change is the only constant.

Anything which gets to its extreme automatically subsides, that is the rule of nature. And this is not my hope but my definite belief.

Much affections.
