I have a love-hate relationship with Karachi; on the one hand, it is home to exciting creativity; cutting - edge music, fashion, design, journalism, etc. It has a cosmopolitan atmosphere and is always fascinating.
On the other hand, as in many big cities, there are ethnic tensions, car-jackings, drugs, gun-running, mafia murders and kidnappings, which means that danger lurks in dark corners.
On balance, I would say that I love Karachi much more than I don't, and I have memories of some very special friends who live and work there and would not be anywhere else.
For Huffington Post I have written about the heady cocktail ingredients which constitute the Karachi Molotov.
