EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Malir, Pakistan - a town once renowned for its bountiful fruit and vegetable crops. The transformation from agricultural hub to middle-class housing is evident in the image, showcasing the evolution of this historic town. The focal point of the picture is the majestic Malir Hotel, adorned with intricate paintings depicting royalty. These regal portraits add a touch of grandeur to the otherwise humble surroundings, hinting at a bygone era when British influence was prevalent in this region. The scarcity of groundwater that led to the shift from farming to residential development is palpable in this snapshot. The contrast between past prosperity and present realities is starkly highlighted by the juxtaposition of lush greenery and modern buildings. As one gazes upon this scene, they are transported back in time to an age when kings and queens reigned supreme over distant lands. The ornate porch and vintage motor car evoke a sense of nostalgia for a world long gone but not forgotten. In conclusion, this print serves as a poignant reminder of Malir's rich history and enduring legacy. It encapsulates both the beauty of its past glory and resilience in adapting to changing times.
