It's fascinating yet strange that luxurious places of the rich become tourist spot for humble and middle class people. We all are stuck in loop. This loop is weird and strange.
I assume, it was month of January when i went to visit Downtown Islamabad. It's a luxurious place to visit. The rich, Elite and bourgeoisie live there and we visit this place for amusement and to give treat to eyes.
The dancing fountain of Park View City is considered to be the largest fountain of the country with large artificial lake and many fountains to dance on beats of music.
Surprisingly, they didn't allow me to enter the fountain area. They made me stand at entry gate.
I made requests with my innocent looking face. I made them believe that i am a student and i came here only to see fountain and to write a blog about it.
They listened me and refused.
Being stubborn, I was standing there and kept on waiting for a smile on their face. I knew that they will allow me.
Finally, they let me go inside the area. I was free to roam and free to capture photos.
Song plays after every thirty minutes and fountain starts dancing. As soon as fountain starts dancing, everyone gets up and run towards fountain to capture photos and videos.
It was my first time that i was seeing dancing fountain otherwise i just have saw such things in videos of youtube. Moreover, i used to think that only Dubai has such fascinating things for amusement.
Meanwhile, in my consciousness, i was thinking about the luxury these bourgeoisie are enjoying. For them, the whole country is living in luxury like them. They aren't aware that 90 percent of people look at their lives with so many hopes in their eyes.
Well, isn't it a perfect reflection of colorful buildings in the water of artificial lake?
It's beautiful, indeed.
I planned to just enjoy dancing fountain for once but stayed there for longer time. I got tired and sat there at a shop. Mobile's net wasn't netting.... i asked for hotspot from shopkeeper and tried to book my ride. Every ride was expensive.
Finally, I booked ride of bike. Mobile app was showing 18 minutes on the arrival of rider. In the meantime, I was sitting and observing.
After observing last fountain dance, I headed back home. It was a nice solo experience.
See you next 💫
