Some cities are historically
magnificent, some cities are made magnificent with great effort, and some
cities are simply magnificent. Chicago is a third-class city. One of my friends who recently visited Chicago says leaving
the Chicago airport
is quite late, the airport in Chicago is very busy, the plane continues to
'taxi' for almost an hour after the flight lands because before that there are
dozens of planes waiting for their turn in the queue. . A well-behaved Bibi
told us that if you have to take a flight beyond Chicago, keep in mind at least
a three-hour layover. We said that surely the break is very important, because
of not giving a break, there are going to be twenty five crores. When young
poet and IT expert Khawar Hussain picked us up from the airport, on the way to
his house, we realized that Chicago is the class of New York, Los Angeles and
San Francisco. It is a rich city. Khawar told us that the world's biggest
companies like McDonald's, Boeing and De Loet have their headquarters here. The
biggest 'shop' of the famous coffee chain, Starbucks, is also here, what is a
shop, a multi-storied building, where thousands of people come to visit every
day, Americans are crazy about coffee anyway. A bad tasting coffee has driven
the entire nation crazy.
What distinguishes the city of Chicago is Lake Michigan, the second largest
lake in the world and which runs through several states. It is said that this
is a lake, but you can see the sea. If you stand on its edge and look around,
you will see only water as far as you can see and it will seem as if there is
no land on the other side. As long as we stayed in Chicago, we visited
different places of this lake, sometimes it is calm and sometimes its water
seems to be raging uncontrollably like the sea. The city administration has
also built beaches at five or six places that create a perfect beach
atmosphere, with the same sand and sea-like waves and waves. People walk, run,
cycle, masti and wave festival by the lake. We saw people bathing in the lake
with small children, the management had put up signs in the lake to indicate
deep water, besides two lifeguards were constantly posted there to keep an eye
on the water, as If a child would try to go into a little deeper water, these
lifeguards would whistle to warn him. At many places in the lake, people had
also parked their boats. Can't afford it, but a common man can rent a boat and
take a trip. Khawar said that this lake freezes into ice in winter and looks
like the eighth wonder of the world. By the way, it is not wise to come to
Chicago in winter, but we made a commitment that at least once again this city
will be seen in winter, then, God willing!
If a person goes for a trip to a
city like Chicago, there is a lot of 'pressure' on him. As we write, it will be
the document.' There was a lot of pressure in Chicago, the friend who found out
we were in Chicago made a list of 10 must-see places, otherwise there's no
point. Now the problem was that our stay in Chicago was only for three days and
in these three days, if we were to count only the museums of Chicago, it would
not be complete. ' was also one who will be sorry not to see. This is the city
of Barak Obama, he started his politics from here, famous films of the world
have been made here, Aamir Khan's Dhoom 3 was also shot here, the scene of the
movie in which notes are thrown from the bank and The theaters where Aamir Khan
performs are all in Chicago. Khawar Hussain said that when Taylor Swift's
'concert of music' is held here, it is as if there is a storm in the whole
city, because of that one singer, the economy of the city accelerates. Big
cities talk. Chicago is also famous for its crime, but this crime is only
confined to one area where blacks live, the police don't even like to go there,
the rest of Chicago is calm and safe, people go out without locking their
houses. They are not dangerous.
Chicago's downtown is a sight to behold, I like it even better than New York's,
with its tall buildings standing on the edge of the lake and presenting a
strangely majestic sight, said to be the tallest skyscraper in America. The
custom started from this city. Somewhere in the downtown area you go
underground and somewhere the train passes overhead, and the beauty doesn't end
there, there is also a river running through the center of the city that can be
explored by boat. I have seen many cities in the world, some are quirky because
of their natural beauty, some are because of their grand buildings, some have
historical significance and some have museums, Chicago is a city that has
nothing but Mt. It has everything, there are museums and rivers, forests and
lakes, buildings and art. And so and here on Dewan Street, Sri Pai and Nihari
are also available. So, after being here for three days, we agreed that if
there is one place in America that is the best place to live, it is Chicago.
For those who are bored with this journey of ours, we have come back from
Chicago to Lahore, there is a lot of hubris here and there is a lot of hubris
in the whole country, but what to do, home is our own after all.
