I had the honour of interviewing late Abdul Sattar Edhi Sahb in 2009, at one of his orphanages in Mithadar, Karachi.

Last summer must have been the first in a decade that I wasn’t in my beloved Karachi as I struggled to live the supposed “high life” Dubai in parallel to the cheap s**t third world labour role we desis ever too willingly sign up for in the UAE. Like other fellow Karachiites […]
