Final Year Project

Project Title

Karachite’s Love-Hate Relationship with Rain

Description

My thesis explores the changing emotions associated with rain among the citizens of Karachi. The project aims to document the diverse range of emotions people attribute to rain and how these emotions have evolved over time. It also investigates the reasons behind these changes and examines the ways in which rain impacts the lives of Karachi's residents. Ultimately, I intend to create a documentary that delves into this subject.
