     Last winter we, a group of ten student, went to Karachi. Our college hand arranged this tour. Our Professor, Mr. Naeem Hassan, was in-charge of the party. All of us had looked forward to this tour. We had not seen Karachi, but had heard from people that it was a wonderful city. In particular we were very eager to see the ocean.

     It was the 25th of December when we left Lahore by train. The journey was long. The winter was more severe than usual. But we were happy, and the long slow journey did not dampen our high spirits.Next day we reached Karachi late in the afternoon. We went straight to the Boy on our way to the Hostel we had our first view of Karachi.

     The very first thing we noticed was that the roads were very wide. The traffic was much greater than that we had seen in Lahore. The number of cars we saw on the roads indicated the prosperity of the city. The buildings were really palatial. On reaching the Hostel we felt tired. We decided to spend the evening quietly in our rooms.

     Next Day, early in the morning, we began our tour of the city. First of all we went to the Mazar of our beloved leader, Quaid-i-Azam, to pay our hamage. After offering fateha we went to the house where Quaid-i-Azam was born. It was an old tree-storeyed building. The room where our leader was born was on the first floor. Some of the furniture and clothes of Quaid-i-Azam were on show in the room.

It stretched as far as the eye could see. We stripped and went into the sea for a swim. Our professor was all the time telling us not to go very far. After the swim, we had tea in a restaurant on the beach.

     It was now time for lunch. So we returned to the city. After taking our lunch. we felt rather tired and decided to rest for a couple of hours in the evening we went out and roamed in the bazars till late in the night.
