Hi Oomi,
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the nice comment you made. I feel sorry for that tragic accident in your country. I'll pray for the survivors.
Thanks for the post. I will link you with my blog. Could you link mine to your blog too? God bless you.
Hi Oomi,
I came to know you when you visited the blog of my youngest daughter- Princess Heidi. Can I link with your blog? Your woes in Pakistan are the same with us in the Philippines. Because of rampant graft and corruption, so many lives are lost and so much properties are destroyed because of substandard public work projects. We are so much blessed with bountiful natural resources, yet our countries are poor because of unbridled greed of politicians and corrupt businessmen. May God deal with them ever so severely.
God bless you with all the wonderful things in life.
i agree...its not just in karachi its everywhere...i wonder why something cannot be done!but i really appreciate the fact that your are creating awareness by writing about such issues....
thanks for dropping by...i ll link you! :)
The strange thing is, noone is really aware of that, they think it's the people being clumsy!
Thank You for stopping by and saying hello.
hi oomi- oh im not surprised at all! so many similar incidents happen all over! just over a week ago two firemen were killed in a fire near ground zero because the building they were in had the sprinklers turned off! and the fire started because careless people were smoking and it was forbidden in that building. and a few weeks ago a bridge collapsed killing several people because it was not properly maintained. its truly a shame when cutting costs kills innocents! great post!
