MicroPakistan

The City of Lights (or rather UPS’s and Generators as my friend Ghafoor put it) has been in the news quite frequently for the past couple of months. Unfortunately most of the coverage has been negative, and I don’t think the saying “Any publicity is good publicity” applies in this case.

Other than the countless protests by the lawyers, PPP, PPPP, MQM, MMA…. (and the list goes on and on), the city has also been lashed with the tail-end of a tropical cyclone. The overflowing gutters, uprooted electricity poles and strewn billboards suggest that the city is just not suited for rain. Add to that the fact that an extremely popular shopping mall in the vicinity of the teen talwaar (Continental Trade Centre-CTC) suffered from a horrible fire and is all but finished, and you feel the city is going through a rough patch.

But to eradicate all such thoughts I have decided to unveil to you Karachi’s latest attraction! It’s a bit of secret and is not openly discussed, which further encouraged me to enlighten you. An unusually large number of boisterous, eager males have been noticed to gather every Saturday night at the McDonalds outlet at Seaview at approximately 1 a.m. A rather odd time to say the least! The seaview McDonalds is a popular hangout for the general public. There have been a number of disturbing sightings in their rather large and secluded garden but that is not the cause of the latest excitement.

According to my source they all await the appearance of a “drunk” girl who comes every Saturday night to the afore mentioned outlet and makes a complete fool of herself in her druken stupor! My source in his enthusiam also went on to give me disgustingly minute details regarding the appearance and scanty clothing of this “burger, drunk” girl. The only use this piece of information was the look in his eyes which suggested the real reason why the crowd gathers every saturday night.

I have also been told that the organisers of Fez and those of Club Night are being given a run for their money by this phenomenon at the Seaview McDonalds. The ravenous males that usually attend the mentioned parties now throng to the Seaview McDonalds to take in this sight. Unfortunately not too many have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the drunk damsel…Perhaps because she does’nt exist! Or does she?

When I decided to ask a McDonalds employee of this latest craze in the city he claimed that this girl did indeed exist and that she walked into McDonalds a month ago. But that was the only time she ever came in according to him. His co-worker though claimed that he had served her on atleast three different occasions…But both did agree that McDonalds business has never been so good on Saturday nights!

So the next time you’re in town, and are perplexed regarding what you will be doing on Saturday night, pop in to the Seaview McDonalds and indulge yourself in the latest piece of entertainment on offer in Karachi…Catch it while you can!
