Ever since its birth, the the phenomenon that is “Lahore” has been defined by its ungodly and magnificent structures, in addition to its culture and food.
Be it the Lahore Fort, the Badshahi Mosque, the Minar-e-Pakistan, the Shalimar Gardens, the Choburji, the mall road Bank Square or the Chairing Cross and is Summit Minar, these structures have condensed and conserved in them, the history of the eras they were built in.
For decades, generations after generations marvelled the extravaganza of the rich and futuristic vision of the Lahori architecture and tried adding their humble bit too the heritage.
However we’ve not been completely honest with ourselves or to the contributions of these people.
Like everything else we continue to be a nation stuck in the past. A nation fond of glorifying what’s done, being nostalgic, yet scared, unaccepting and unsure to embrace even the Present, let alone the future.
So today, let’s break this curse. Today, let’s open our minds and hearts to our city. Today let’s celebrate everything monumental that contributes to the magnificence of the Lahore that was that is and the Lahore it can! and will be!
