DO THIS!!

So my little brother likes the mask just as much as I do.

Everytime I visit the Walled City, it always amazes me how smartly the city is built. From the bazaars to mohallas, mohallas to kuchas and kuchas to katras.

Lahore geographically is built on undulating mounds, but not on flat land. The slope of the land determines the direction in which the water flows, for as it twisted and changed, it created a natural boundary and on these the walled city was built.

If you see on each side of the major roads that lead into the Walled City were the Bazaars, on each side of the bazars were the ‘Mohallahs’, they consist of houses located on both sides of one or more streets. Within Mohallah’s were ‘Kuchas’ whose lanes led from one to another and within each kuchas were the 'Katras’, they were the narrowest of the lanes and had dead-end alleys where one couldn’t pass without touching the walls of the opposite houses. On this same pattern the Walled City was built and it still remains till date.

A tip: If you ever get lost in the streets of the Walled City, which are nothing less than a maze. Make sure you follow the direction of the water flow or the nullahs on the side of the streets, because that will lead you out of that maze to the city walls.
