(2) At Lasbela Chowk, Karachi:

Following Titanic (locally spelled as Taitanic) image is painted on a Karachi Bus. I personally took this photo on June 11, 2005 when our car was stopped on a traffic light at Lasbela Chowk. There are quite a few details worth mentioning in this photo. Do not forget to note the shadows of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio at the front of the ship. The shadows however, seem to be sitting back to back after an apparent fight between the two. Also note the presence of two huge dish antennas on top of Taitanic. They are the size of those which are used to detect the presence of extra-terrestrial intelligence in the universe. It is amazing that inspite of so much technology present on our Taitanic it still managed to hit an iceberg.

And of course see how just above Taitanic’s deck, the gasoline in-let of the bus has been covered with a silver lid and a traditional lock.

(3) At a Bus Terminal, Karachi:

Following photo is courtesy of gramali2007 at flickr.com. This Titanic was spotted in Karachi on January 23, 2007. Note a sentence written on the image as: ‘deedar shauq BalochaaN da’. Does it mean Leonardo DiCaprio was a Baluch? Don’t know.

(4) In Pakistani Airspace Aboard a Islamabad to Karachi Flight: This photo is a huge piece of cloud in Pakistani airspace which the photographer witnessed aboard a Islamabad to Karachi flight. It reminded him of Titanic.

(5) On Highway N70 Between Quetta And Loralai:

While travelling on highway N70 in Pakistan, one comes across this scene. The hill visible in the photo is called Titanic as its frontal view is very much like that of the real Titanic.

History Lesson:
