Up, Up and Away...

Loaded on to a ship...and away to Malaysia. Hopefully.

Kaar in Karachi

At the end of the first leg of its journey to Malaysia, Kaar has reached Karachi.

Suddenly, Karachi is more Kaarish!

Pity, the only place it's going to see is the shipyard...

Obstacles to Progress

***DISCLAIMER: PARTS OF THIS POST HAVE BEEN CENSORED TO PREVENT ME BEING KICKED OUT OF COLLEGE***

Pakistan is sixty-three years behind the developed world. That is only because Pakistan is sixty-three years old! Our 'stellar' rise in the comity of nations suggests that thirty-seven years later, we would be a hundred years behind development benchmarks; nine-hundred-and-thirty-seven years later, we would be a millennium behind.

There is one small reason why this is so. There is something horribly rotten at the heart of this nation!

I speak as a staunch nationalist, one who would want to, and work to, make Pakistan the country of the dreams of its founding fathers. But one who is saddened at the state of affairs today. I speak not of headless policy-makers or heartless politicians. I speak of the common man.

There have been many things I have learnt during its fabrication, but manufacturing Kaar has proved to be an eye-opener for me. The assertion is simple. Every man...EVERY single person, whose services we employed, would go to any lengths to eke out those extra bucks that would put his earnings in the shadow of immorality he doesn't actually care about.

While for the guy who changes tires at a shabby square for fifty rupees, there might be justification of need, xxx xxxx xx xxx xxxx-xx-xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxx Rs. 200,000 xxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxx xx xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxx?

My anger vented out slightly, and in hope that I don't get kicked out of college for this...

In a wooden crate and away...

Kaar, ready-and-running, was squeezed into a wooden crate, and loaded onto a container going to Karachi, from where it will be shipped to Malaysia. Hopefully. Without much ado. Hopefully.

One very very very stupid team member forget our camera at his home, and so we failed to give Kaar a fitting photo-shoot before the final sending off. That stupid git! May God have mercy on Kaar on its way...

In racing strips

The Test-track. Kaar managed 2 laps before encountering a slight malfunction.

Kaar on the test-track

The new green-with-white strips Kaar, with more bite than the original colors. Do tell me it looks like a cross between a Bugati, a GT40 and...something green.

Bekaar no more!

With great relief, enthusiasm and some other nice words, we wish to announce that KAAR IS READY!

So extremely extremely technically, we are Bekaar (without-Kaar) no more.
