Spare the rod, and spoil the child. This proverb best defines the situation of one of the youngest and most preferred public transport of Pakistan in general and Karachi in particular, “”,  or  Chinchi as it is so generally mispelled . It might sound strange why all of sudden I started to curse this public transport. This is because this  problem child is on its way to become monster. How? Be patient I am telling first let me recover from the tiring journey I had today. “Ah! I miss you my beloved Bike, Get Well Soon”. What!

I like this Jungle because it gives the next to star, hardworking cricketer a platform to showcase himself. Starving for international cricket, this jungle gives a chance to those that just play below the stars, and are actually good themselves; will not play in anonymity, before a small crowds; they won't become a statistics in First Class records that only their relatives will see.
