Anarkali and the sunday book bazar

August 16, 2015

We took a walk through Anarkali, ate some haleem, then head over to the sunday used book bazar. The sidewalks are lined with booksellers. It is fun to see the variety of books, long out of print. I have already picked up a bunch of books on this trip, so I am trying to be very selective about getting any more. I did not plan to buy anything. It’s just fun to look at the interesting book covers and discover topics and books in Urdu and English from years ago. You get a sense for what people have been writing about.At the end of the line of book sellers, I came across an interesting art book that I could not resist. It was a book of paintings by a couple of Chinese watercolorists (Lin Yong and Su Hua), documenting their trip through Pakistan in 1978 and 1981, called “Pakistan”.Afterwards, my aunt picked us up and we head to her place for another amazing meal. I got to catch up with some cousins who very talented painters as well.
