Quick Review: Coasters and Table Mats by Pith




I am a die-hard truck art fan. I am sure most of you know this already! When I went to Pakistan earlier this year, I was on a mission to find truck-art inspired table mats and coasters (Although all the coasters I have at home are traditional Pakistani - yet the heart desires more!)

Short Travel Story: TDF Ghar, Karachi







One of the new places that I went to in Karachi was The Dawood Foundation (TDF) Ghar. A place from where I finally managed to get a photograph with Karachi’s iconic landmark; mausoleum of Quaid e Azam, the founder of Pakistan. Built in the 1930s, this home was fighting legal issues since 1991 when it was occupied by land grabbing mafia. Finally, in 2016 the case ended and it is now turned into a public space. It has been kept in its original condition with some restoration work. You will be fascinated by the handcrafted tiles, lamps, grills and rooms decked with antiques and collectables that are almost 90 years old.
