REIMAGINING KARACHI S CLIFTON BEACH - Newspaper

“Karachi has the sea!” Checkmate. A city-brag is won. Clifton Beach has long been a source of pride for Karachiites. A truly awaami spot, it attracts scores of people on August 14, on Eid, on the weekends and every time it rains. This beach is not just an edge of land and sea, it is the middle ground, where people across the megacity’s tense socio-economic and physical boundaries and bridges meet. There’s a shared memory that you will find in the old photo albums or camera rolls of everyone who has lived in Karachi: a still at Clifton Beach. The landmark is a fixture in paintings, dramas, poems, songs, postcards and family stories. From the imagery of lovers longing in Junaid Jamshed’s Na Tu Aayegi, to Christopher Lee’s solitary stroll in and as Jinnah, the seafront with its waves, colours and majesty is a visual of familiarity that connects urban dwellers.
