Muharaam

Had previously decided not to view the Muharaam Shia parade, but, as nothinghad happened yesterday, I changed my mind and organised to go today. My driver said I would be safe if we went to one of the more minor areas, I wore black, draped myself in a shawl, stayed in the car, and we had screens up to cover the car windows. I agreed to all of this. Thirty minutes before we were due my driver rang me to say "Ma'am it is not safe". There had just been a bombing of a parade in Karachi and Lahore was now an increased security risk. So trip cancelled. Maybe next year??
