Frere Hall Karachi

Frere hall is one of the landmarks of Karachi it is a well preserved English building that still remains in its full glory, Although it was a public place and was vanue for all types of functions book exhibtions and picnic point for Karaciates but unfortunatly the US consulates being in the neighbourhood it is now declared a security zone. No one is allowed to visit it or even take picture of the hall. There is a library and Art gallery of Sadqain’s painting in it but due to the fact that it is now more or less closed for public no one actually visits them.

When one drives from Saddar to clifton in Karachi one however can still admire the beuty of this beautiful building.

History of Frere Hall

Frere Hall was built in honour of Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815-1884), who was known for promoting economic development in the Karachi city during the British Raj Times.

Out of twelve designs submitted, the one by Lt. Col St. Clair Wilson was chosen and construction started in 1863. It was biult with a cost of 180,000 Rupees. It was opened by Samuel Mansfield, the Commissioner of Sind in 1865.

The building is built in the Venetian Gothic style in yellow sandstone which supposedly came from the surrounding hills of Karachi. Limestone and red and grey sandstones from Jungshahi was also used in the construction. Richard Burton when saw frere hall said “the Veneto-Gothic, so fit for Venice, so unfit for Karachi”

It was used as a Town Hall during the British Raj. It also housed a number of busts of famous people including King Edward VII’s which was a gift from Seth Edulji Dinshaw. It also housed oil paintings of former Commissioners in Sind including Sir Charles Pritchard and Sir Evan James.

Later after Pakistan was founded it was used as a public hall and a library was established while top floor was museum. In nintees top floor hall was decorated with murals of famous artist of Pakistan Sadquain.

Washing clothes in Pakistan

Hardworking strong women of Pakistan’s rural areas afford the burden of washing clothes of the whole family. They collect carry the bundles of clothes, quilts and bed sheets to the nearby rivers or ponds and wash the clothes and enjoy the nature at its purest, while their kids enjoy swimming or showering in the water.

The following pictures are of such bold women of our country who are not aware of what goes on Pakistani and western media in their name.

Pakistani Girl Gets Scholarship from L’Oreal

lshrat BANO a PhD student in Bionanotechnology at the Quaid-I-Azam University in Islamabad, Pakistan has been selected for L’Oreals fellowship at University of Cambridge UK

Her research focuses on the practical applications of nanotechnology in medicine.

Nanoparticles are particles with dimensions of iess than 100nm (a nanometer is one-biliionth of a meter} and are attracting a lot of interest in the field of drug development. Their small size and ability to transport drugs directly to target locations open up many possibilities for more efhcient and effective drug delivery, particularly in cancer patients.

Ishrat Bano is looking into the use of magnetic narioparticles in drug delivery. These offer the additional advantage of being more easily directed to diseased tissue through the use of an external magnetic field to direct the particles. Because they can target so efficiently, they also reduce the quantity of drug required to reach the appropriate concentration in the target location, therefore minimizing severe side effects in other, healthy parts ofthe body. However, magnetic particles have a tendency to stick together and cause potential blockage in the tiny capillaries of the blood system.

lt is therefore essential that the particles used are superparamagnetic — only exhibiting magnetism in the presence of an external magnetic field. During her fellowship she will receive training in the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles adapted to drug delivery.

The ability of these particles to transport drugs is affected by acidity, temperature and the binding sites on the drug moIecuIe`s surface. She will test different methods of drug binding using insulin as a model protein drug and, using acidic solutions to simulate the conditions found in the stomach, she will also test the stability ofthe insulin-loaded particles and their ability to release the drug.

On return to Pakistan, Ishrat Bano will complete her PhD studies and then, as a postdoctoral researcher, she hopes to have the chance to make an important contribution tothe field of drug delivery using bionariotechnology.

Changing life of Pakistan

Life in Pakistani villages does not show much change since ages however in cities things are indeed changing. This picture show a woman carring Plastic Cans filled with fresh water for her home. In old days instead of Plastic terracotta pots were used. In villages terracotta pots are still popular.

Bridal Make up of Pakistan

Pakistanis marriages are full of traditions and customs. In the modern days a new custom has also been born Bridal make up that is. The parents of the girl spend quite a lot of money on make up of the brides which ususally washes away with tears when the Bride bring tears at the time of leaving the home of her parents.

Pakistani Media Portrys Bad image of Pakistan

Pakistani Media Portrys Bad image of Pakistan

Dawn the most prestigious newspaper of Pakistan exposed one of the TV cannels making a drama of Pakistan’s pverty
In the pictures below is the crew from a private TV channel trying, what could best be described as manipulation if not outright dishonesty. A nomad woman who, along with her child, is on her way to work, was asked to take off her kid’s clothes. They then filmed the child naked, most probably to depict abject poverty in the outskirts of Islamabad. Once the filming was done, the crew walked away without much remorse, but after giving the child a note of Rs100. Arundhati Roy was right: there is money in poverty. Journalist organisations believe that at a time when television journalism in the country has touched new heights in terms of providing truthful news to millions of viewers in the country, use of unethical means by a handful remains a matter of concern.—Text and photos by Tanveer Shahzad

The lady was carrying cotton in a happy and humble mood while the camera man of the ill mannered TV channel caught her and prumably asked to take her picture and out of politeness she permited him


Now the bugger asked her to take her little angels clothes off to portray a thrilling image of Pakistan

Now the so called expert jounalist is exposing Pakistan nacked shame of such Channels and such people. This happens every where the be it security situation or be it when they want to insult the government.


Woman obviously innocently laughs and feels proud of her son while not knowing what story this iletrate and shamless media man Will Tell To The World.
