After a long time, I finally spent some holidays in Lahore. Though I've visited the metropole many many times, this time I really fell in love with the city and I mis it!

I stayed in Sunfort Hotel in Liberty, spent most of my late evenings at the market drinking doodh patti or just watching the crowd. It's really a great spot to hang around.

Hehe....I landed in Karachi first ma'am...stayed a couple of days and flew to Isloo and then Lahore. There's no place like Karachi and we both know that.

But Lahore can be very charming. The food is not as good as in Karachi but the night street life rocks and it's pretty safe to be on the street late in the evening. I'm going back soon.

Yes it does. You should visit some time.
I visited the Gurdwara just next to the Badshahi Mosque...I was allowed in as I hold foreign passport.

I do plan to visit at a suitable time. Should be interesting to see what is same and what is different from India.

But why do you need a foreign passport to enter a gurudwara. All Indian gurudwaras allow people of all faiths to come in.

I was told it was just a temp security measure to avert non sikhs from the temple. Usually its open for muslims too. But foreign passport holders are given the courtesy to enter the temple at all time.
