The daily commute to the office feels like traveling through time, each road a chapter in Lahore’s history. Starting from the Grand Trunk Road, I turn onto Queen Mary Road, then Durand Road, weaving past Shimla Pahari to reach Abbott Road. At the first signal, Montgomery Road cuts across, and further ahead, McLeod Road appears, buzzing with life.
A left turn takes me to Cooper Road, its quiet charm contrasting with the lively Mission Road on the right near the Orange Line station. Passing Hall Road and Napier Rd, I reach the GPO, where Mall Road begins its grand stretch. On the Right reveals Thornton Road, then Maclagan Road unfolds, leading to Library Road. Finally, I turn onto Church Road, arriving at the office.These roads, named in the British era, remain unchanged, as silent witnesses to a transformed city.
