Because my slippers were slowly, slowly getting old and their soles were getting rotten day by day, on the afternoon of 2022 March 12 Saturday I decided to buy myself new slippers. With this agenda I left my house and started walking towards a nearby shopping center where Bata had a shoe store.

.

On reaching that shopping center, I found that the Bata shoe shop I was looking for was no longer there and there was a new shoe shop in the same place. I was a little surprised and confused but went inside the shop and soon came out because what I was looking for was not available there.

.

From this market I went to another nearby market, this time for a Service shoes shop. But there I was again surprised to know that the Service shoes shop I was looking for was also gone and now there was a new shoe shop in the same shop named "NDURE". I walked into that new shoe store and soon found the type of slipper I was interested in. I selected those slippers and paid their bill. After paying the bill, I wandered around the shop for a while looking at the designs and prices of shoes, sandals and slippers and then came out of the shop. After finishing my work of buying new slippers for myself I slowly walked towards my home.

.

After reaching home I got an idea of making some videos and taking some photos, of my newly purchased slippers. Therefore for next few days I kept making videos and taking photos, of my new slippers from different angles.

My first green Pakistani passport expired in 2010 April 29 Thursday and in year 2013 I again started trying to renew it. For this purpose I first started visiting passport office situated at Awami markaz Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan to collect information about current requirements for renewing my green Pakistani passport. From passport office Awami markaz I got some different kind of information. For verifying the information I obtained from the Passport office Awami markaz I then also inquired with other passport seekers present there. I also went to Karachi city head office of Passport to further verify the information obtained from Passport Office Awami markaz.

.

The information I had received from both passport offices was that for some reason the issuance of new or renewed passports was on hold. Relevant office personals of both the Passport offices also told me to visit after at least 15 days to get the current update about the situation. I went to the Passport office Awami markaz after around one month and found that issuance of the new or renewed Passports was still on hold. But there was relatively good news also. That news was that instead of issuing new/renewed passport latest expired or expiring passport will get stamped with new issue date and expiry date written on it.

.

After getting the above information I simply went through the stages required for getting my now expired green Pakistani passport renewed via Pakistan passport office stamp. First, one day I went to the Passport head office of Karachi city and there payed the fees required for green Pakistani passport renewal and then Second after some days I went to the Passport city head office Karachi and submitted my passport for renewal. Then office personal at the same window told me to come after one month (I no longer remember exact time duration now) to the Passport city head office Karachi to get my renewed green Pakistani passport.

.

I did as instructed and after the date I was told to come, I went to Passport city head office Karachi but the person at the relevant window said that my passport has not been received yet. The person also told me that now I should come after two weeks to collect my passport. So I again went to Passport city head office Karachi, after the date I was told to come, and stood at the end of the line at the relevant window. The line was not long then and soon it was my turn and I got my renewed green Pakistani passport. I felt very jubilant after receiving my renewed green Pakistani passport.

.

On my both visits to the Passport city head office Karachi to collect my renewed green Pakistani passport I observed some unusual behavior of some of passport seekers. They were complaining that some countries were not accepting stamped passport and some were complaining that although they got visa but they were deported from the respective country because of the stamped passport. Passport office personals were saying that stamped passports are valid and authentic.

About 2 decades ago (2005), for the first time, I got an idea of getting the green Pakistani passport for me. For this purpose I started getting information about the stages involved in the process, from friends and family members. After collecting enough basic information about the work involved I decided to go to passport office of my city Karachi (Sindh, Pakistan). My idea was to get as much information as possible, from passport office also, before actually applying for my first Pakistani passport.

.

Therefore for collecting current information about passport office timings and stages involved in and documents required for and fees required for getting new Pakistani passport I went to the passport offices situated at the Sadder (head office) and Awami markez of Karachi city on different days.

.

It took a few days to get the required information from passport offices because there were too many people seeking information at the information window of the passport offices.

.

After collecting the required information I collected the required documents both in original and their photocopies. While surveying the passport offices, I had seen very long queues at bank branches for depositing the Pakistani passport fee. Keeping this fact in mind I decided to allocate a day for depositing the fee for getting new Pakistani passport.

.

So one day I went to Awami markaz to deposit fees for new Pakistani passport. Required bank branch was at upper floor, may be 1st or 2nd, of the Awami markaz and there the line of Pakistani passport fees depositors was long but not too long. At the bank branch the Pakistani passport fee depositor's line was moving a little slow but because we were indoors therefore it looked fine. After depositing the Pakistani passport fees I returned home.

.

A day or two after depositing the fee for the Pakistani passport, I went to the Passport office Awami markaz early in the morning with the original and photostat of the required documents and the fee chalan. At the passport office Awami markaz there was already a long line and I went to it and stood at it's end. Line slowly, slowly kept moving forward and when my turn came I went inside the passport office Awami markaz.

.

Inside the office I went through the various stages of submitting the application for my new Pakistani passport. The first stage was of biometric to verify that I and my CNIC belong to each other. After this stage there were many more stages like photography, data entry, document submission and interview etc. It took me almost a whole day from standing at the end of the line outside of passport office Awami markaz in the morning and getting out of the office in the evening.

.

After successfully submitting my application for my new Pakistani passport at the passport office Awami markaz, I returned home on the metro bus.

.

After some days (I no longer remember how many days) of submitting application for my new Pakistani passport at passport office Awami markaz, I went to the Passport office sadder (which is Pakistan passport head office for Karachi city) for collecting my first Pakistani passport. There I got the information that my passport is not arrived yet and that I must come after some days (I no longer remember how many days, may be one week). Therefore I returned home.

.

After required number of days I again went to Passport office Sadder Karachi and this time I got my first green Pakistani passport.
