Unique places in Qasimabad.

Qasimabad's highlights.

Qasimabad is blessed with its own beauty and the beauty here is enhanced by some unique places that play a good role in recognizing the Qasimabad area.

Three of those places are: Rani Bagh, Sindh Museum and Khanabadosh writers café.

Rani bagh:
Rani bagh is the very famous and only zoo in Hyderabad which is situated in Qasimabad at Wadhu wa road. This place gets crowded mostly on special occasions when a massive number of people from interior come and enjoy their time here. Queen garden locally known as Rani Bagh is said to be the oldest garden opened in 1861 as only a botanical garden but later on the animals were moved in so it turned out to be a zoo as well as a garden. It’s kind of a shock to me that I had never gone there for even once in my childhood. As far as I remember; the first ever time that I paid a visit there was when I was assigned to make an investigation report of that place. The cherry on the top is, I didn’t had to spend a single penny there to have fun because I with my team were welcomed there and were allowed to take as much fun as we wanted after we were done with our work. 
Rani bagh, though, now lacks some of the animals because of the less budget they get from government but still families and children come there to spend their quality time.

                    


Sindh Museum:

This museum is located at the delightful locale of Hyderabad, the second largest city of the province which was founded by the famous ruler of his time, Ghulam Shah Kalhoro in 1768.
The museum features the history and heritage of old Indus valley civilization. The museum is a perfect place for history students to get awareness of history and ancient heritage of Pakistan. The best work of art and craft are displayed in beautiful colors, which leave strong positive impacts on minds of the visitors. The whole museum depicts a real and vivid picture of Sindhi society. The beautiful designs of Sindhi embroidery on dresses bed sheets and cushions look amazing. The Sindh Museum serves especially to those who want awareness about the culture and society of Sindh. The museum has also established a gallery where contribution and works of some eminent personalities have been displayed.

                      


Khanda Badosh writers’ café.

This café was founded by Amar Sindhu a well known writer, activist and dean of Philosophy department at University of Sindh. This café is located at the front of Mumtaz Mirza auditorium. The essence of this café is very much natural and occupied with green trees and lawn. The founder of this place conducted many seminars and concerts there. It is unique because of its natural ambiance, name and the figures which visit it. Mostly study circles of students have been conducted there and reader’s loves to come there and read books with the good cup of tea. The books of Sindhi literature are also present there, the small library consist writings of Sheikh Ayaz and Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai enhance the beauty of this small and beautiful café. The literary activities of this café makes it unique and worthy to be said as one of the best cafes of Hyderabad.

Problems encountered by residents of my area.


Road to peaceful home or annoyance?


The life of local people has become very messy particularly in Sindh and it’s because of the careless people and the irresponsible administration of the developed city Hyderabad. We are encircled by a number of problems and often times we can’t even figure out the solution to those problems. Now, every residential area has got many flaws that bother the residents.
In my region I face a few problems and not only me but the other residents as well. Firstly, my area has turned into a commercial zone. Previously, there were few shops outside my colony and because of that there was no such rush of people and also there was no heavy traffic there, but now since the apartments have constructed and number of restaurants and shops have increased it seems like a total commercial area occupied with estate agencies, beauty parlors and other shops. This has transformed a peaceful place to the loudest zone. The developing authorities of government must not transform a residential area to a commercial region. Before that change we did not have to go through crowd and we could walk easily but now it doesn’t look good to pass by this much crowd, also, it causes a lot of traffic block and since the car workshop that stands the cars out of their portions, it blocks much of the road.


                       


The biggest of them is a problem of the filthy Wadhu wah, which I am sure, is a trouble for all residents who live beside it. The Wadhu Wah has become a signature of a filthy environment throughout the Qasimabad. Mainly the gateway of Hyderabad is Wadhu Wah, people of other cities travel through the road beside Wadhu Wah to enter in the city. The first impression of passer-by is negative and this really disturbs me because I am a native of this city.

Thirdly, the road that leads to our colony is much damaged. It’s not smooth and is very bumpy causing problem to some of the people who have back aches. The slop which connects the main road to my colony is also in a bad condition, and we faces troubles while driving. It’s been a long time that this road has not mended by anyone and since nobody dares to speak to the responsible person. The administration and local development authorities must show their sincere responsibility to ensure the residents that the budget they get from government has been utilized in a proper manner.


These are three of the problems of my area and I hope these complaints may remain no more complaints soon.
