a couple of years ago a gave What’s Your True Color? test at tickle.com, and the result told me that i’m a predominant by Blue color…which was pretty accurate as after giving the test i realized that more then half of my wardrobe consists of some shade blue…
the days came and gone and now after some years when i look at my wardrobe, its all gray. i was wondering if it has something to do with age, surroundings, ppl around me, combination of any of them or all of them. but now i’m out of the circumvallation of blue. old blue is now new gray…though i havent given the test again to see if it gives the same result…but i’m pleased even without it :)

turning the U-turns March 13, 2008

another magnum opus of illogical thinking by the much acclaimed CDGK…the new U turns which r surfacing on the roads of Karachi…the latest one is on the Rashid Minhas Road near Aladin Park. Even though it is a very good approach to keep the traffic moving without much hassle created by the U-turners, but the execution is not up to the mark. Any U-turning vehicles have to surpass the traffic coming from the U-turns of the opposite side.

U-Turn 1

In picture 1, the red arrows points the vehicles moving into the rightmost lane in order to take the U-turn, and the vehicles coming out from the U-turns has to move in the left lanes to go straight. Result is a chaotic scene made by the vehicles crossing each other in order to get into the desired lanes. U-Turn 2

Picture 2 exemplifies a simple solution to this problem. Only the positions of the U-turns needs to be changed and bingo…Only if any sane person in the CDGK or the Constructing Company ever thinks of it.

P.S. i know the images looks awful…but atleast they r serving the purpose :)
