The Sunday Blog #81

Today is the Sunday 22nd of October 2017 the 1st of Safar 1439 til the sunset (5:59 pm karachi) and this is my the Sunday Blog # 81 .

Tonight it is very cool windy outside . and very humid inside
But i am still not sure where to sit and do this my the Sunday Blog # 81. I have skipped dinner tonight so i am not sweaty and hot or sleepy yet . And there are mosquitoes , ants and two very naughty kittens who start licking my feets the moment they see me . Their mother has been playing Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) all week look for the other two kittens . According to the latest news she has lost a paw and chances of her sequel is slim if not bleak . 
So which means unless something really bad happens to these two kittens real soon they will continue to lick my feets and follow me around night and day trying desperately to make me feel guilty for not taking care of them or feeding them 247365 . or six as the fariyal might say . Anyways so now i have firmly decided to continue doing this my the Sunday Blog # 81 from inside this hot and humid room at 32°C . Yes i do keep all the doors and windows tightly shut of this room all night and day and it is separated by a thin wall from the very happening kitchen in town but i still don't understand why it is so hot in here especially after the drop in temperature and the cool wind that has been all afternoon . Somebody even reminded that his majesty the king of jins entourage (spiritual belief) must have flown up above to have caused this wind on a hot sunny day . 



Anyways, here is yet another of my Wasiq1Wise not really sure myself what it means but i did make a century tonight somehow and i really love each and every one of them

 Investing One percent of shared property or about Ten percent of your share in repair and maintenance may be the greatest investment if you are lucky , But it will still be like Praying for rain in Karachi on a hot sunny day, You never Know !
Wasiq1Wise : 100 

LOL!

Okay after the last weeks Sunday Blog #80 reaching the magical figure of five thousand words within the time or maybe a few minutes remaining had given me hope and instilled a thought in my heart and mind that the best way to achieve this target and repeat the same fete again and again i must do exactly the same as i did last week no eating at all for the twenty four hours only water or fluids like tea coffee or juice  Last week i also had mutton soup or yakhni  full of fat at dinner time which was not such a good idea for a hot and humid day like it was last week but in winters or on cold cold nights later this year hopefully because this is Karachi here cold cold nights and winters are also to be prayed or begged for just like the rain in hot summers . Anyways so what i am trying to say here is that tonight i am not on any kind of non religious Sabbatical . So in the coming up break i might eat something .



From this leftovers . Or if i did not get in the mood and choose to remain free of all the food i am sure that i will not be able to stay away from these stress buster snacks


So in dollar terms there is no need to roast a mutton leg or cook something special just to make me break a self imposed non religious sabbatical which i only did for the soul purpose of staying cool and not fall asleep during this my the Sunday Blog #80 last week just so as to get the maximum time in full spirits and keep on going for the longest time possible and make myself feel proud that i can do it still . So today i am not setting a big target . A good three thousand plus words will make me feel good at the end of the day .

Okay so the external USB mouse which i prefer over the built in pad is not working tonight . So i have two options either i continue as i have been for over two hours or i go and borrow it from somebody else . I don't understand why i hate shopping for computer peripherals so much . Oh yes the variations in price and quality of these things is so great that even if you get it from the wholesale market you come home and take a bath twice or if you don't you should remember that ....LOL
Anyways , the breaking news is that a smart phone that nobody wanted not even the ones who do not have a smart phone yet just for the sake of learning how to use it wanted it was finally offered to me . It has very low memory and is believed to have a hanging too often problem So this means that after the weekends and this my the Sunday Blog # -- i will remain more out of circulation trying to tame it or if i am able to tame it playing ludo star with my self . Sorry no time to waste ....LOL
By the way the Ludo Star throw me back out of the league from silver to bronze again not sure what happens next .
Yahoo's Flickr sign in on any Android app device has become a headache . It keeps telling to try again later and sometimes even blocks the wifi on the device . I don't understand if this is territorial or tutorial hope they resolve their issues soon .
Okay then i believe its time for me to take a break and relax my back and body especially the hand and fingers . If i did not fall asleep i might try to get back and continue otherwise its good night or morning whatever i don't care at all now . Especially because most of us are nocturnal these days who love and enjoy the peace and calm of the night to be on the net and social media where as during the day there are so many distractions that the love is lost and enjoyment is subtracted .

Anyways so the first break of this my the Sunday Blog # 81  with a prayer for my dearly departed parents

May the dear Lord All Mighty Allah Forgive (مغفرت)and have mercy(رحم) on my dearly departed Parents and may their souls rest in peace in Heaven Amen !

2:36 am Break (1105 words)

8:50 am Good Morning !
First tweet of the Sunday morning

Sun 1st Safar 1439
32°C
Okay i woke up few minutes before eight am but even after a cup of tea i am not yet fully awake struggling to get back in the mood . i believe i am two hours early so lets see if i can stay up or fall back to sleep. Its totally no wind sunny blue sky ☀️

So it is windless and hot getting hotter here on a very quiet and peaceful Sunday morning 
After finishing up early morning it was still two hours to go before fajr so i waited had tea but did not eat soon i fell asleep and since it is sunday no body dares to wake me up i missed fajr and the sunrise (6:34 am karachi) . Anyways as mentioned in the tweet above i had a cup of milk-less tea and felt sweaty so i did not dare to take the second cup . Not feeling hungry at all so there is no urge for the breakfast and definitely not in the mood or have the energy to go out and stand in the line or even try my luck . The only thing on my mind right now is to shut up and lie down on the bed and close my eyes . I am sure i may not be able to fall asleep now but lying down may take away this laziness and drowsiness . I am a very morning person its definitely the lack of sleep that's making me feel so drowsy .
Amazing the mouse is working this morning but there is static in the broadband cable so i will have to turn off the net and on from time to time because i cannot do the Sunday Blogging without the net as i have to check and verify things and spellings as i go . Sometimes it is better to correct things on the spot then to leave it for edit later . This past week has gone past Zoommm so fast that i did not get the chance to look back at my previous Sunday Blog # 80 yet . Luckily nobody else read it either as i did not get any critical reactions to the five thousand words long Sunday Blog except that an Aunt my dearly departed Ammi 's ( May her Soul Rest in Peace in Heaven Amen! ) first cousin but more closely related to the canadian uncle and aunt was declared dead by the Aga khan hospital board . She has been suffering from cancer for long and the canadian uncle and Aunt use to visit her before or after visiting us every time they visit karachi the emerging market . Haven't heard anybody in Canadian uncles acquaintances here in karachi the emerging market to have died of cancer lately . Maybe this is just a coincidence that when i first started playing Farmville 1 2009 -2011 an uncle and a cousin died of cancer and now recently when i begin to play farmville 2 the country escape again i hear of someone dying of cancer and closely related to the Canadian uncle and Aunt . Never really was able to establish the link between the dear cousin who died of cancer and the canadian uncle and aunt but i noticed that every time they visited my dearly departed Ammi ( May her soul rest in Peace in Heaven Amen ! ) from Canada to sell the only shared property of the maternal grand father , the dear cousin use to be here before them and often opened the gate instead of me who was busy playing farmville on the computer in the drawing room which is just like the living room in most cultures and habitats .

living room is generally furnished with comfortable chairs, sofas, recliners and often include a fireplace and a media unit with a TV. The décor may include elements such as artwork, framed family photos, etc. The drawing room, on the other hand, is a more formal space.Mar 29, 2011

The Differences Between A Living Room And A Drawing Room

The interesting thing is that both one and two of farmville emphasis so much on the house or villa on the farm but not yet on the inside decor or even a glimpse of it Strange isn't it ?
So all this week i have been wondering ever since i heard the sad news as to who may be on top of the list of emerging markets Karachi visit of the Canadian uncle and Aunts from now on . After quite a lot of deliberation ( meaning in Urdu: سوچ بچار - Soch Bichar ) i came up with two names one is of course yours truly. So far i am not fully aware of the cancerous cell activity in my body anywhere but some very obvious and visible areas have been a real cause of concern and alarm for my dear siblings especially the ones who practice medicine . Personally i don't really take any health issue very seriously because i have never had a really serious health issue ever except the weapons of mass destruction flu virus and even that has been under an unbelievable control recently since i highlighted the issue through writings on social media and living room speeches and discussions . This week i prayed at three different mosques (masjid) in the neighbourhood and must have collected multiple and varied samples of viruses especially from the people who willfully or unintentionally wins the proximity in the namaz jamaat at mosque ( masjid ) and try to spread their germs to me . But still today i am breathing and smelling normal just a little bacterial blurredness of the eyes after sleep this could not go away this morning if i remained glued to the computer all morning and day and evening so i better close now and enjoy the first facebook meet up and probably get something to eat and drink after a very chilled sip of lemon squash . 
Oh my ...i cannot believe the words counter is it real did i do it just now Cool ! 


11:01 am Break (2109 Words)
12:14 pm yes it is pm now and after the lemon drink i am now having think dark coffee as the tea was finished and i thought i might try something different today
.The facebook meet up did not happen during the break so i watched a new turkish urdu dubbed serial on filmazia . Filmazia chops the shows really very bad .  Pyaar Lafzon Mein kahan ? the same shakil - shenaz sheikh - job  triangle story only the actors are young and cute . 


I am very relaxed after watching the chopped episode of this week now i have no urge to watch it online and that saves a lot of time . Even though i have not eaten since last night dinner time or maybe since lunch time yesterday afternoon but i am not feeling hungry but the bad news is that the takeaway brunch has arrived which includes hot tandoori naans so i believe the self imposed non religious sabbatical is about to end very soon if we do not count the three four peanuts i had in the break . 
Okay the mouse is now coming back to normal that is not working normal as it was last night and the wind is beginning to move the dried leaves on the ground i can hear it from here . The weather change here in Karachi does a lot of wear & tear and effects the working of the electrical and electronics appliances .  The microwave plate is not rotating but moving in both directions half way . Some electric plugs like that of the television is loose and sparking . door knob is stucking . door is closing with a push or pull . things like that . Strange blogger spell check made a dotted red underline under "Stucking" meaning in Urdu: پھنسا ہوا - Phansa Hua 
okay so i believe its time for another long break the namaz and lunch break . be back soon i hope . Strange there is still no kitchen activity that i can hear or smell but still my back can no longer stay straight in the chair so i may have to relax and move a little or maybe go out to the mosque not if it is very hot outside or not if it is burning hot then i wont thing of going but if it is bearable hot then i might anyways i take a break now with a prayer for my dearly departed parents 

May the dear Lord All Mighty Allah Forgive (مغفرت)and have mercy(رحم) on my dearly departed Parents and may their souls rest in peace in Heaven Amen !


1:16 pm Break ( 2539 words)


3:38 pm No did not eat can't trust the takeaway today because i instantly fall asleep after eating takeaways . The bulging belly is still not inside so i believe that i should at least wait till it is pushed back a little or is softer  . or until i cannot hold on or go on and on and on . 

Okay so today after almost two months we have beef from the market which will be cooked in multiple ways such as kababs and nihari . This year we had so much of zahid's nihari in july and august when my dear brother and his nuclear family was here on Summer and eid vacations that i thought that's it we may not need to eat nihari and beef any more but yesterday's mid day winds due to the shah-e-jinnat ki sawari ( the king of jinn's entourage ) the nihari and beef season returns So whether we cook it at home or bring it as takeaway . Nihari and kababs sell like my crop on the farmville 2 country escape . nobody needs to be reminded of the meal time twice . I for sure does not need an invite even on Sunday during the sunday blog . I am not sure about today and with this new no eating ritual . Hopefully the smell of frying kabab in oil or the softened cave in bulging belly may make me give up this breakup in the routines. not sure yet when and how . Soon i hope .
This week at juma prayer a guy came from behind at the later part of namaz and place some of his personal belonging in front of the shut part of the glass door . Those things were a little too suggestive that is why i remembered and wanted to share here in this my the Sunday Blog # 81 .
1. A red motorcycle helmet that read SAT
2. A pair of fancy slippers that had sticker reading DISCOVERY and
3 . A paper hamper bag with US flag printed on it .
So any more clues ?
LOL

Anyways its time the the Asr Azan so it is time for the break as well . nope no eating i can hold on till maghrib i am sure of that .
4:29 pm Break ( 2905 words)

5:41 pm Yes the Cooking builder mafia did it again and probably in the record time as well But i am also not giving up yet. I did not even taste the salt of any of these things up for grabs and sample .





























You cannot post more than 30 photos 
LOL
Maghrib break !

 May the dear Lord All Mighty Allah Forgive (مغفرت)and have mercy(رحم) on my dearly departed Parents and may their souls rest in peace in Heaven Amen !


5:53 pm Break ( 2987 words) 

Sun 2nd Safar 1439 
32°C
6:54 pm Good Evening ! 
No still just tea and two peanuts ....Thank God there is no nihari on the list yet !! LOL



Okay we have chaapa now so hopefully the cooking may stop . I have until 8:00 pm means about an hour before the AyeshaGul break . I don't believe the rolls will be on the menu so one hour it is . 

Okay so in the neighbourhood of Red Apple and LaChine restaurants on Allama Iqbal Road Karachi near tariq road a new one is coming soon called Mandi Al Khaleej ...well every body here do not know this yet and i have no intention of spilling the beans at all so ignore it and don't tell any body that i mention it .
 LOL 

Okay i lost half an hour on research again should have left it for next week . Okay so mandi is not rice on chicken or biryani it is just plain rice with meat and spices ...that is what i have learned in the past half hour . Lost whatever appetite that was in the making after over thirty hours of self imposed non religious sabbatical not just plain no eating only tea and few peanuts . Man my sense of humor is surviving is a good sigh i mean sign . LOL 

Okay talking of  non religious this week the white house celebrated first Diwali under President Trump . I wonder how will they celebrate the completion of one year in the white house by The President  Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946)  the 45th 





Anyways , LOL 

The rumor is that rex tillerson  the secretary in the state department who called Mr President Trump MORON is looking for a new job before monday . No idea why . 
is it possible na ...
okay it is time for the break

7:54 pm Break ( 3287 words)



9:13 pm yes the chaapa is over infact it had already ended before the ayesha gul break . No i did not eat only tea not even the peanuts this time

Okay so during the Ayesha Gul we heard loud very loud sound of Fire Works for about ten minutes or more
Fireworks at mazar for car rally
Anyways i am not interested in cars or rally's at all it was the sound and smoke that made me suspicious. So lets move on to the movies of the week ...

Puss in Boots was three flavor ice cream not bad . I don't mind it anymore .

I will probably go to the Caribbean some day and watch it live no hurry !

Okay so now two hours left before the midnight and i am at three thousand five hundred words mark on the words counter for this my the Sunday blog # 81. which means that i am five hundred words ahead of the target already so now i set a renewed target of  four thousand and two hundred words (4200 words) Which is very get-able  .

Okay i don't remember if i mentioned it or not before that our very very dear mango tree that use to give us very sweet and different than the market mangoes tons or it year after year since the nineties is now gone RIP . We are planning to cut down the standing stem before it falls down and causes damage to our side as well as on the other side of the neighbours wall . In my childhood we use to have not one not two but three mango trees and they were just as big as this one and gave lots of mangoes and kerri the green one . In the mango season every afternoon we had to chase away the poor kids who would throw stones aimlessly to break down the mangoes and kerri from the tree and whenever somebody from our house comes out or call out at them they would run like hell . Sometimes even leaving behind their books and schools bags or the broken or fallen mangoes from the tree they had already collected from our tree or from the neighbourhood somebody else tree . In those day their were many mango trees in the neighbourhood . When Construction or builder;s Mafia came to our part of the town in the nineties many houses came down as they were demolished to be re-build into apartments and complexes multiple storey buildings so these developers did not leave the old trees they cut them down or used some kinds of chemicals or maybe it was the construction materials that burned down most trees that were not directly or initially cut down by the builders . In their new designs of occupying more space than the actual allotted size of the plot there was no room at all for the old or new plantation of the trees . My family fought this battle for almost three decades and kept as much trees green as possible . Watching this mango tree die in front of our very eyes and we being not able to do anything to save it is really tough . The only good thing about it being a immovable tree is that non of our very dear elders family and friends could come and say Why did you not take it to the Doctor or the Hospital when it was dying ??? or the hospital doing nothing to save it and after a week or month of agony gives us a bill and some post-mortem tests to finally know what was the real cause of death of the tree .


Okay so now we move on to the Farmville 2 Country Escape game. This week despite my desperate attempts to expand the barn and crop silo i was not able to because my very dear farm hands ate all my stuff and did not find me the barn nails so for the lack of a few barn nails i suffered all week as i could not throw away the stuff or sell it because it did not know when and how i may need some of the stuff and products that i made , grow , find or win or earned as reward . 
This week i was very rackless with the easy come easy go cash and spend a lot of coins at the county fair and market especially buying stuff to from other strangers players at the market for the two piglets who were visiting my farm so it was my responsibility to feed them very regularly . Although at the end of the term they were weighed on a scale and i won some reward in coins according to their weight gained on my farm . I am getting the hang of this philosophy and soon i hope to be the masters in this without an exam . LOL










It may be very late for me now to choose a carrier in farming but i believe that most of the things that i have learned about farming from this game Farmville 1 and 2 over the years could have been very helpful for me in all the farming related fields even cooking as a hobby .


Just look at this ginger it looks like a over blown balloon these day our farmers market or the veg & fruit mandi as it is called here in karachi not the arabian rice and meat and spices food . So at the mandi all our yes all our fruits and vegetables are treated with chemicals can you believe all around the world people are fighting over organic and non - organic fruits and vegetables and here in an agricultural ,predominantly, country all our vegetables and fruits are being treated with chemicals not even pesticides that saves them from the insects attacks . yes chemicals which regulate the time when it will be ready to be sold at the farmers market and how long can it survive and look fresh from the farm till it becomes our very nutritious food in the platter .



Sometimes when i am not feeling very well and my dear siblings brings fresh fruits so that i eat them instead or the junk food that i love to eat and gain full strength i refuse it . They do not like it but i have to and this is the very reason behind my conscientious decision of not eating the fresh fruits and vegetables when i am already not feeling very well . Yes The Chemically treated fruit and vegetable ripping process . God Help Those who help themselves !


Okay so now i believe it is the time for me to get ready for the ending of this my the Sunday Blog # 81 . Honestly i can go on doing this blogging for another two hours without eating after that i don't have any idea if i may be able to stay up and if my fingers will be moving at all or not . doing a twenty four hours blog has three main parts
1. thoughts that makes sense .
2. strength in hands and body to key in keep typing for hours .
3 . Eyes that remain looking at the screen very vigilant and spot any mistake or error immediately and help correct on the spot .

The interesting thing about a twenty four hours blog is that you cannot prepare or get help in either of the their parts mentioned above it is so spontaneous that you cannot even prepare a text before and if you ask anyone else to type there is no way in the world you may be able to convey or translate your thoughts into somebody else mind  and then even if you may there is very little chance that somebody else may be as keen in typing all your thoughts as it is all day long may be a team of typists in parts may be able to do that but not just one all day long . And then again your thoughts only your eye can realize if its going in the desired direction or not somebody else may never be able to concentrate for long on somebody else thoughts while typing only maybe through the written script .
So a perpetual blog with time limit of twenty four hours for over a year and a half is almost impossible . feel so euphoric that nobody can even  imagine and now this without eating for more than twenty four hours . It is plain crazy !!!

 Anyways i always wanted to be a writer and did not want anybody to be able to edit my work or boss me around about my work because i always feel that ingenuity some times is so hard to explain . While writing a new thesis they require that somebody may help you do it how if only he or she could have understood wont he or she do it her self  . Sharing is .....wasting ! 101

LOL
 okay so now it is time for me to wrap it up and finish this my the Sunday Blog # 81 . Until the next Sunday which may be a little colder than this one. So after praying for a series win for Pakistan in UAE and also the prayer for my dearly departed parents

May the dear Lord All Mighty Allah Forgive (مغفرت)and have mercy(رحم) on my dearly departed Parents and may their souls rest in peace in Heaven Amen !



I leave this my the Sunday Blog # 81 with a very beautiful ghazal sung by a equally beautiful singer and voice . I hope only those who will understand or can understand will enjoy it or have enjoyed it always . So until next week and next sunday its All The Best ... Amen !
