KarachiTips.

KarachiTips is not just a trend, but beyond that.
Back in summers 2011, inspired by the international Brotips, several such facebook pages came into existance and so did KarachiTips. It all started when three young enthusiastic individuals decided to give a shot, after getting offended by LahoriTips who were apparently dissing Karachi, and came up with a page of their own to defend their city and show their love for Karachi. In a short time, it became one of the most sought after pages related to our city. Behind all this are hyperactive heads, Abdullah, Baakh and Bilal who are amazing people. They came up with tips as in witty one-liners about life and culture in Karachi to spread the awesomness in the city, and got loved back beyond their expectations. They received immense response. They got attention even more than their parents have ever given them, lol. They've been covered by the media, have been organizing events and designed merchandize. They made it to several radio stations, and got featured by online and print media as well. They became celebrities overnights. They sold their shirts at different colleges and universities as well. They've been making business of shirts and helping the humanity by giving out all their profits to the flood survivors. They held a couple of contests on their page so that they could appreciate their fans in this way. They've made mistakes and learned a lot, as they claim. They've had their moments, seriously.
“One of our aims is to bring both positive and negative aspects of our city into the spotlight and portray them via productive humour,” explained Abdullah.
Also, Bilal says, “We want to change mindsets of our people through cultural exchange as we want to bring our people closer together conversing in a single language - of harmony.”
KarachiTips launched their website(pay a visit!) recently, which too is a great hit. Now, the next plan is to come up with a magazine. InshaAllah. They've got bigger and better plans for which they wanted some team mates. So, their fans were given a chance to be a part of KarachiTips. I, with little hopes, filled the form and luckly I got selected. I received an official mail from Abdullah, the co-founder, and got tremendously excited.
We're nearly 80 team members and some of them are really close to my heart.I've been making new friends and working with them. Right now, sitting back, all I can do is be thankful. Heh.
