An incident that brought the unstable political situation in Pakistan uncomfortably close to home occurred on September 19 when a car bomb exploded a mere kilometer from my family's home in Karachi. I was at work at the Sanctuary for Independent Media, Troy New York, when a series of phone conversations over skype revealed that the bomb had killed 8 people on-site and had managed to break the windows of my house in a quiet suburb of Karachi, Pakistan. I was immediately alert and afraid while my family sounded casually recovered and unaffected. This is a portrait of daily life in Karachi where bombs explode so often that people learn to adjust instead of being terrified or angry at their lives being hijacked by extremism.
