Scrolling through @twiningcities on Instagram, you’ll recognise many sights in the photographs while others might feel like a deja vu moment. This lingering feeling of familiarity is cleared away with the caption — Half of the photographs are taken here in Mumbai, and the other half, in Karachi. Launched earlier this month, this Instagram photo project documents places, moments and other aspects of the port cities.

Taking us through the project are the founders, Gopal MS aka Mumbai Paused, adman and photographer; and Lubna J Naqvi, journalist, fact-checker and International Federation of Journalists’ Pakistan Gender Coordinator and Trainer.
