A few years ago, I resolved to try to always look on the bright side. This isn't easy, especially when the country is under martial law, the constitution has been suspended, there are no fundamental freedoms such as free speech and free assembly, the economy is tanking, violence and misogyny are higher than ever, and there's a civil war going on in the country to boot. And oh yes, you might get blown up any second just going about your business.
But I've worked on this for the last few days, and I've finally found a great silver lining to this mess: the weather. Yes, Karachi is enjoying spectacular weather these days. The days are warm but not hot - usually one doesn't even need a fan to keep comfortable. The evenings are amazing, cool and breezy, and the nights have just a hint of chill in them to consider breaking out the shawl or sweater. In short, it's just perfect weather.
