You know I was dying to take pictures like those. But unfortunately, nothing of the sort happened in Karachi. Everyone I talked to couldn't see beyond load-shedding on that day. So I just took a picture of my residence lit with candles. I even wrote to the mayor to do something like that at a monument e.g. Quaid's mausoleum. MCB could have done that with their tower. Imagine if that had happened, a picture could have made it from karachi to those in that link. I know for sure that DAWN News did turn off lights for earth hour (thats what they said on tv). And just like every other story, the notorious GEO mis-interpreted it and misguided the people by associating earth hour with "bijli ka kum se kum istemaal" which was no where near the true objective Awesome!
