My quest to conserve water in Karachi

My quest to conserve water in Karachi

 

I use an empty cooking oil container as a urinal.  When I use the WC for solid waste, I drain the urinal in the toilet and then flush the toilet.  This way I flush the toilet only once a day.  A lot of water can be saved if others in Karachi do the same.

Remembering Jamal Uddin, the Plumbing guy

Remembering Jamal Uddin, the Plumbing guy

I remember Jamal as a chubby, warm-hearted man who managed plumbing design work on FND projects. He was frequently seen with a contractor named Sher Ali. Like many others, Jamal had gained practical experience working on construction projects in KSA.  He had a wealth of interesting stories to tell from his time in the Kingdom.  There were stories of rivalries (Jamal amusing a supervisor by pointing out that the pumps ordered by that supervisor’s adversary were incorrectly configured to fit their intended installation spaces), and stories of strange priorities (one European expat upon receiving a lump sum payment of twenty-two thousand dollars deciding to go on a luxurious ski trip he had long dreamed of). I lost touch with Jamal after 1998 but had hoped to see him and other FND associates from the late 90s, somewhere sometime.  That chance is now gone.

 Jamal Uddin passed away on June 1, 2025

Malnourished Gaza Children vs Healthy, Well-Fed Hostages

 

 

Something is not adding up! You hear about Gaza being devastated, besieged, choked, maimed, its infrastructure destroyed, and you see online appeals for aid to Gaza to provide food and medical supplies to helpless, malnourished people…and then suddenly you see the image of a hostage released from Gaza after a captivity of around 600 days--and that clean-shaven man looks like an athlete who just had a wholesome meal minutes ago, after a nice warm shower.  What is going on?
