The Prowlers of Karachi




are all over the place! and hitting on every woman they find a chance to! It can either be in person, or through the ever present in every hand mobile phone or the social pages on the net.....They are forever hunting their next prey always on the lookout, wary, alert, and awaiting!

I have encountered all sorts of men in my time (not a great experience if you live in the sunny and humid climes of this wretched city) Men, and I am talking of middle-aged, faded, rather tired and blotchy looking ones, are looking for dreams to come true, dreams unlived and unrealized in younger times, in the days gone by... they are eyeing for women who'd make their unloved, lonely, and parched existence an oasis of respite and rejuvenation, who'd literally give them the elixir of life so they can be reborn, catalysed into fresher and newer and more vigorous versions of their paler selves.

I am truly beginning to believe that men here are now hunting desperately for women, any woman, any female companion who'd transport them to heavens and beyond if only for a transient period. The minute a man smells a female, his antennas become alert (excuse the pun) and he is out like a hungry puma ready to attack and devour, to feast upon another being so that his hunger is cooled and satiated.

The prowlers are not just lonely hollow men traversing the streets and alleys of this sad city, they are pathetic, they are never to be satisfied, their hunger and thirst never quenched for they are doomed to hunt one after the other and lack the depth to understand the futility, the meaninglessness of their own actions!
