Standing at the corner of the General Post Office [GPO] at Mall Road, it’s hard to feel the seismic rumble under your feet. It’s either because you’re trying to find your bearings on this expansive, nondescript plaza where McLeod Road meets the Mall, or because the thick January smog is lingering all around you, and your laboured breath in your N-95 mask is fogging up your glasses.
Either way, you’re questioning your decision to be here at 9.30am on a Sunday morning, looking for a sign of the orange ‘elephant’ that has caused a tectonic shift in Lahore’s fabric. Its reverberations, every five minutes from 5.30am to 11.30pm, will continue to drastically transform Lahore, and the region, for generations to come.
