سرمہ دانی :— ایک پرانی مگر زندہ روایت
سرمہ دانی دھاتی، چاندی، پیتل کی بنی ھوتی تھی جس میں خالص سرمہ محفوظ کیا جاتا تھا۔
اس سرمہ دانی کی دھات پر باریک نقاشی اور
خوبصورت ڈیزائن بنے ھوتے تھے جو دیکھنے میں بہت خوبصورت لگتے تھے۔​

This is the scene of nostalgia—the Karachi of the 1950s and 60s, when cheerful street vendors would be seen carrying cylindrical tanks on their shoulders.

A long, curved pipe hung from these tanks, and they would bend over slightly to skillfully pour the cool syrup into glasses. These colorful characters were a familiar and charming sight in the daily life of that era.

Today, all that remains is their memories, and that too is slowly fading away in the mists of time.
