Bringing back in my head that wonderful night I got to visit a restaurant that had a kind of amazing peacefulness in it makes me want to relive that night again. There are only a few places I have visited that have my heart, those kind of places you need to go to when all you want to do is take a break and spend time alone.
I would like to go back to childhood as the night is a part of it, though I wish I could get a chance to enjoy its brilliance again.
So, the restaurant was more like a Dhaaba (a place for lunch/dinner with sandals-sitting pieces made of wood-placed everywhere in it), which made it distinct and maybe this was the reason we preferred to have dinner there. Another beautiful feature was that they played Ghazals and Qawwalis which were so mesmerizing that I cannot get the tune and music out of my mind. This was yet another reason. Then there were these flickering lights and the empty highway, a breathtaking sight with cool breeze whirling around. All of these things made my night and all of this is part of one of my best memories.
It is so unfortunate that I do not remember its name but only know that it is situated somewhere between Karachi and Hyderabad. If you are a Pakistani reading this, you should at least once visit any of such kind of place alone if you want to have a peaceful time. I guarantee you won’t regret it. Because what’s more beautiful that a night that enthralls you and the cool breeze that kisses you and makes you forget everything for a while?
