The second floor - a promising space
This sounds like an exciting initiative. A newly established space - The Second Floor - holds much promise. This is what the website has to say:
Coffeehouse tradition is all about sparking conversations - and we’re passionate about providing a platform for people to engage with each other. Our society is insular and inhibited and we intend to break that mould. Through regular events such as poetry readings, book signings, workshops, talks, debates, film screenings, unplugged music sessions, and stand-up comedy, we hope to get people to think, question, and take action.
I have to visit t2f on my next trip to Karachi. Such developments always reaffirm my faith in the innate buoyancy of Karachi and its citizenry. I refuse to accept the analyses that predict all doom and gloom for Karachi.
Or maybe I am just a fool…

I hit upon t2f’s website some time back, while googling for… y’know whom!
Did you also find it the same way, RR?

RR: Am wired from way too much coffee, and as usual, can’t sleep. Decided to check t2f’s website stats and came upon this post. Thanks a million. You must let me know when you’re coming to town. I have plenty of photos of Asim’s gorgeous mural and will send you some soon.
Temporal: THANK YOU
Shueyb: Am utterly curious about “y’know whom”.

Sabeen
I should have alerted to my post. Anyway, thanks for visiting and leaving the comment.
T2F is a fantastic idea and something that I had wanted to do all these years. Therefore, it gives me great vicarious fulfillment that someone else has done it and that too in such a wonderful manner.
I will visit in December and will of course visit 2TF.
Do send me pictures and other stories and I’ll be happy to post them on this blog.
