Hawks’ Bay
If you are looking for an entertaining and relaxing way to spend the hot days of summer, Hawks’ Bay has plenty to offer. It is situated at the Southwest zone of Karachi in Keamari Town. It is a very popular non rocky beach, with huts and villas to rent or own. Ideal for swimming, fishing and surfing. It is one of the few beaches in the world where green sea turtles come to lay eggs. It hosts one of the rarest reptile species.
The sun welcomes you with all its glories and vibrant glow. The fervent colors filled the sky with its warmth. The sea so delicate, sparkled preciously as it ambled up against the shore. The crystal water that stretched out far into the horizon where it got darker and deeper but stayed very calm. The whole beach itself looks like a painted picture with a spectrum of colors all fused with one another.
This summer my family and me hit Hawks’ bay. The excitement of the trip and the relaxation of the beach allured us to this particular vacation spot. A cool, light and refreshing, breeze gently eased up against my being and glided through my hair, sent a gentle quiver which went up my spine. The sea was also displaying a wide range of hues that reflected from the surface, like a dancing damsel dressed in a vibrant attire.
After witnessing Allah’s great creation, me, mum, uncle and aunt took out the refreshments and taken them inside the hired lodge. We all sat side by side and conversed for an hour or so. But there was no sign of my nephews. I went out to look for them and sighted them materializing their own plan. They took out their beach slippers and hit the sea bay. So, I went back to lodge. On their return they narrated their little excursion, “we strolled for quite long time, watched other children played with sea waves, waded in and swum by their elders. After sometime we decided to return. On our way back to the lodge we have collected many different sorts of shells and have taken pictures of the waves in the sea”. Aunt and mum have laid the table for them and us before their arrival. They felt hungry and ate the delicious fried rice before eating the sweet chocolate cake and Bread-kebab rolls. We all praised mum and aunt for giving us such delectable and tasty food. Then we had a rest of about an hour or so. Our mum then woke us up. So that we freshen up and had tea with the rest of the family. After having tea we started playing indoor games such as Quiz game, Snake and Ladder, and also Parcel passing. Have told jokes and narrated half remembered funny stories.
It was half past six when uncle sighted sunset and called upon us to have a sight of the dying sun. In the sky, the sun had begun to set in a sluggish and unhurried manner. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen which is etched in my memory forever. The colors twirled together in a heap mass across the sky. The sky turned wild and there was a war of colors. Lightning tossed itself across what was once the peaceful sky. After watching such a nature’s beauty that had hold our breaths, world seemed to me an endless entity full of hidden beauties yet to be witnessed. And all of a sudden Ayah 29 of Surah “Al Rehman” started echoing in my memory, it relates in summary, how can man denies Allah’s blessing upon itself!
