Soldier Bazar Old Building Owner

"History is a Greek word which means literally, just investigation."
Arnold Toynbee

While roaming on the streets of Soldier Bazar, we found this person name IMTIAZ KHAN and got a chance to know about his interesting story that is yet untold and may be many of us are unaware about it.

Imtiaz Khan is the recent owner of the old building and the Son of Bahadur Khan, who worked with Britishers in 1920's. He sells grass at this famous building for years to earn his livelihood. Days are passing but yet no one remembers about the history of this building. In late 1920's this building served as the stable for British horses, and his father is the one who look after it. Those who think that Karachi is unsafe place, this place is the superb example that shows peace.

I can easily imagine the life of his father and his family before the partition, they got the fame, recognition and respect and they were living the life easily with the luxuries of that time. But time has dramatically changed, the son of the Famous Parsi Building owner is living his life hand to mouth, but still he is happy and believes that whatever happens is for a reason, he is happy with all the good memories of his family and the building that he owns.

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

Life is all about mysteries, whatever happen today will not remain the same forever, we have to accept the reality that time never remains the same.

But main thing is that we have to be happy in whatever situation life get us in, because the one thing remain same in every state that is smile, we can smile in good times as well and in hard times as well, all we need is courage and will power to face the realities.
