    Upon leaving the beach, I saw a man praying facing west towards the Kabaa in Mecca. For me, this was a sight to behold. He appeared transfixed in worship, undisturbed by the presence of the gathering crowds. Wherever I went in Karachi my camera came with me. I was captivated by the sights, sounds & multitude of textures. What I saw as strange & even simply beautiful to the locals it was part of the mundane, daily routine. This imperfect yet authentic & real Karachi was starring right at me. You used to be a part of this nation but it’s no longer yours. Yet still somehow our lives intertwined. by: iamrahma Views[1082] Moslem praying together during magrib after breaking from the fast. After the break, they pray Magrib together.

The market only occurs on Ramadhan month. An ice cream seller waiting for customer next to some beggars who some of them are kids. Many of those beggars brought along their kids to beg for money.
