Sunday Bazaar, the shopper's paradise
From fruits and vegetables to second hand designer hand bags, you can find almost anything in Karachi's Sunday Bazaar.
Great pics FSK..
SB or IB (Itwar Bazar).. DHA Clifton people may call it IB to make it sound cool :) . In fact it is cool to buy more in a limited budget… Many well known personalities r seen there negotiating for value..
And finally congratulations for officially being a part of ET as blogger.

This slideshow truly depicts the beauty and uniqueness that this country is blessed with. I have been there a number of times and have indeed found SB to be one of the most reasonable places to shop at. And indeed a brilliant photo shoot :)

Walt Disney once said and i quote, Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.”
Though we differ in the way we look and things we believe in, there’s something we all share: emotion. Human emotion is innate in all of us; it’s something we’re born with and something we die with.The pictures truly depicts it.
You can find just about everything you need to make you happy in the Sunday bazaar. There’s sandals and sneakers to gladden your feet, serving spoons and paper towel holders to bring cheer to your kitchen, cardamom and curries for ecstatic cooking. There’s heads of cauliflower that are bigger than my head. They are piled head-high beside perfectly stacked circles of succulent Oranges.

Absolutely brilliant.

Sunday bazaar, as these beautifully captured snapshots depict, represents the true metropolis that Karachi is..with all its dynamics. co-cultural existance, genres of cunsumerism, etc
And preserving todays contemporary Sunday bazaar would definitely go a long way towards motivating many out there. So keep clicking Farah!

The good Lord has Pakistan with so much blessings , only thing we commit our selves to right paths. Love each other as human being. Not decriminate on the bases of religion, cast and creed. We wish our clergy respect other faiths. Freedom of thought flourish freely. Pakistan will be great land to live with it’s natural beauity, green vast mountains and valleys , beautiful and hard working people. If only our clergy become more open minded, God will bless this coutry abundantly.

@Zain: Sunday bazaars all over Karachi,almost in a few in every town. My photo journal is shot at the Sunday Bazaar held in DHA, Phase-8 Karachi. It is is among one of the most organized, well maintained and secure open markets of the city.

Man, merchandise and natural produce – in harmony with one and other. Good show, Farah!

A must-go on every Sunday whenever I visit Pakistan. Give the bookseller the author name and they’ll get you the book faster than the optimised databases that I work with. The food, the sounds, the colours and the people are worth every single second of it. Great place!

Wonderful Farah !
This is real life, a very unique market of its own kind, I really love to to go on second hand book shop to buy some wonderful collection for myself and my students.
How natural and refreshing photograph,one can see the freshness of the fruits reflecting on the face of seller. A denial to all ,who says Karachi is no more a city of life and light……It’s as alive and refreshing as one can witness in that photograph….Hats off lady..
Hugs,
