Twitter alert: A vigil for Steve Jobs...in Karachi?

It seems Karachiites do not want to stay behind in mourning the demise of co-founder of Apple.

The world woke up today to hear of the sad demise of Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple – a company that revolutionized world technology. As the whole world mourned the death of an icon, Karachiites were not far behind either.

A vigil, originated with the setup of the hash tag #SteveJobsKHIVigil on Twitter, is to be supposedly held in Karachi at BawanyTech to commemorate the loss of Jobs.

Here’s what local twitterati had to say about the vigil:

This vigil firmly establishes Karachi as Pakistan's most liberal and globally connected city. No feudal shackles here. #SteveJobsKHIVigil

"@kaalakawaa But seriously this idea is nuts #SteveJobsKHIVigil " & kind of an invitation for mobile snatchers add #leave-ur-iPhones-at-home

Suggestion to those holding vigil for #SteveJobs in #Pakistan: instead of buying the next iPhone, donate it to the flood victims

If govt of #Sindh can dedicated a life size poster 2 Michael Jackson- Then a candle light vigil 4 Steve Jobs in #Karachi seems JUST FINE!

I'm still waiting for someone to say this is a (very) late April Fools' Day prank. It might just have been a silly rumour #SteveJobsKHIVigil
