So First of All a very Happy Rabi ul Awwal 1440 to All . This is a nauchandi ( New Moon ) ka Sunday Blog so i thought it would be best that i wish everybody a Happy Rabi ul Awwal 1440 first and then go on with the rambling and the rant . The Good thing is that whatever i ramble or rant in this my the Sunday Blog # 136 ( Hundred and thirty Six ) will be absolutely ignored because everybody in the world who could have read this my the Sunday Blog # 136 ( Hundred and thirty six ) this week is so busy this coming week to even hit the link and give it a look or browse through . No No its not the Black Friday this week don't you worry you haven't missed it yet again ....
even though the aulad and agents of you know who are already painting the town with their bright ideas to put everybody to shame ....The Sad thing is that going online shopping will not reduce the traffic congestion in this most dangerous city in the world and will definitely increase the hazards of traffic accidents because rush and hurry of this army of delivery boys aged between 16 to 65 . driving motor bikes and delivery vans very dangerously especially the motor cycles carrying excess baggage
The other day this past week the main roads were blocked in my town the Jamshed town of karachi the most dangerous city in the world and without going out even on the street i realised that they were closed for traffic permanently not just a traffic jam ....or slow moving as our very dear Sindh Police 88.6 FM likes to call it ...How ? well obviously the traffic on my street grew manifolds and it kept growing from a very early morning till the time i usually wakes up . and the majority of the vehicles were these delivery people on motor bikes and van going like crazy ...
Oh by the way one more such a day is coming in the week ahead ....The Sindh Police 88.6 FM has already warned about it . The Eighth of Rabi ul Awwal which is probably on the next Saturday
It is the day before the Minority Community celebrate and party so they city administration and law enforcement agencies closes down , shut down and block major access routes to the markets . Creating a divide is always good for the dhanda ...you know ...LOL
By the way we don't believe in either of the two celebrations of eighth and Nineth so it will be just as usual for me . Eating and sleeping on the eighth and this my the Sunday Blog # 137 ( Hundred and Thirty Seven ) on the Nineth . The twelfth will come on the Wednesday the twenty first so coming next two sunday blogs will cover that at length insha Allah Amen ! like what i wanted to hear and see and what and how the Sindh Police 88.6 Fm Played .... I don't know if its human rights or the psychology of Political science ...both my favorite subjects but it seems that the law enforcement agencies and city administration are a little less tense on the 12th of Rabi ul Awwal then they are on the Minority Community celebrations or festivals . The tens , the thirty's the forty's and beyond . It clearly seems that they are a bit enjoying themselves with the greens and the maroons and absolutely dread the Blacks .
Even when the green goes ugly ...
So anyways ....The holy Month of Rabi ul Awwal is here ...it is month of great blessings , good food , parties , weddings and less shopping nothing as wasteful as the Christmas or ....okay never mind !!
Okay I don't really know about the rest of the family or the neighbours But here in our kitchen the First day of the blessed holy month of the Rabi ul Awwal was really celebrated with fervor and zeal ....no idea what that means but here is a glimpse of all the glams all day
Honestly i ate so much today that falling asleep after isha prayers till the midnight was the easiest today . Had dinner soon after the isha prayer and had isha prayer with a azan of Isha which was at around 7:15 pm . Had dinner by 7:30 pm . Watched television and chatted with the siblings and then went to bed . Tried to re watch the last movie of the week off the Grid ( 2014) which i rated as turkey 3 stars . the very interesting thing is that on the IMDB web site it had only 6 votes before me that is i am the seventh person to vote . And probably because of this low voting they even mentioned the number of votes under the rating ...which was 8 stars with 6 votes ....one person voted 1 stars and the five voted 10 must be the produces or actors agents ....and when i voted 3 stars which i usually do for a Turkey which is either very bad or beyond me ..., the total average rating became 7.7 /10 stars .
Confused ? so was i.. so that is why i tried to watch it again still couldn't make a heads or the tails of it ...Sad because it has so many good looking actors especially the females in it ...anyways
OKay time for a short break .....
3:08 am Break ( 899 words)
3:57 am Okay i am back ....had a little more of what i had for dinner from the left overs ....and a cup of tea Also the prized part of this break was An Orange ....the one with a head and a tail .....the as my dearly departed Ammi ( May Her soul rest in peace in heaven Amen ! ) used to say ...paisa dekh kay leyna kis pey paisa bana ho woh mosambi hoti hai warna malta hota hai ....okay never mind the google trans late ...it will never be able to translate what i say so here it is ...." do watch for the coin mark on the orange . The one that has it is sweet mosambi orange and the one that does not is a sour malta orange . So the one i had just now had that coin mark below and even though it was an early bird probably taken off the tree very raw and riped artificially so it did not have the orange color yet but inside it is a little raw both in colour and taste but sweet not at all sour .
So this means that my patience after the mango season paid off ....Even though we have been so blessed this year to have pomegranate Kandahari of the best quality and the apples and banana ....at a very affordable price after the mangoes season but you cannot feel right until you have oranges sweet and juicy to eat and drink anytime of the day . Bye Bye Cuppy Pulpy orange bottled juice ....now i'll have the fresh oranges and especially the kino or kinnow orange which is very orange infact more orange than an orange ...both sweet and sour but never bitter ...and very soft from the inside out meaning you can peel it with hand very easily without hurting the nails or winter skin and eat it on the go or watching the birds . It is usually cheaper than the other oranges and fruits of the season therefore becomes an instant hit among the rich and the poor . But this year as there is a war going on between the north and the south of punjab and all the farm products are expensive chances are that this fruit may also be under great pressures all season . Also i am not sure if the smog in eastern punjab will or will not affect the kino or kinnow orange crop this year . I am so looking forward to welcoming the good and cheap kino oranges very soon because it is the only fruit which gives a very Pakistani feel when you touch it .....Aye mandarin pakistani aay ....ay mandarin Pakistani aay ....Ballay Ballay Ballay !!!!
Okay soon it will be the fajr prayer azan time ....and a few minutes after that ...so i guess i have about almost an hour left for the rambling ....i don't see any reason for the rant here today especially after eating what i have been eating and what i expect to eat today and in the coming week ...Living right in the middle of every where ....it is quite unbelievable how my life and thoughts are so different from the normal hard working honest or corrupt people of karachi the most dangerous city in the world .
The past week has been very tough for the Karachi police and city government's extremely corrupt officials because of the Anti - Encroachment drive or campaign in almost every town and cantonment area . Infact the operation in towns away from the cantonment areas like our jamshsed town has just been cosmetic or superficial. But people especially the shop keepers and kerb stands and vendors are really very scared for the first time . The Media and social media is spreading the word so vehemently that the mothers and fathers of builders have started protesting and praying. It will be a real sight to see how they clear the mess in case they decided to in one of the most rapidly growing illegal area of Karachi here in my neighbourhood of Tariq Road . The News says that some cosmatic operation was done in parts of tariq road but unfortunately it could not see it yesterday when i went out shopping . Must be somewhere out of my way or maybe they were expecting me somewhere else can't say ....and don't want to say either because this time i so want to keep myself out of the equation and enjoy the game .
Oh by the way there is a twitter video viral of the imtiaz super store recently open ed near me ...where this Anti - encroachment drive paid a visit ....yesterday after sunset ...working day and night ....wow .
at mid night tonight the KMC was believed to be getting ready to re start the operation in Saddar empress market . So far they have been only able to clear up to the pre - Zia era ...now the Government of MQM is probably trying to restore the Beauty of the British era Empress Market to the pre Bhutto era ....
Image unavailable
So my view of this cosmatic Anti encroachment drive or campaign or operation is that this has been going on since the time immemorial especially in the cantonment areas and saddar ....not sure if it is a cantonment area or not any more because in my childhood it was ...and ever since i stopped visiting saddar during the musha rraf era or soon after ...they cut the bus route from my area so now i have absolutely no idea about the area and who is the kosem sultan there ...but in general if you ask me there is absolutely no point in taking away the cart and stands and stalls from the road and the kerbs to clean and clear the way and leave the owners to protest and pay up and then re start the enchroachments ...they should be arrested and punished by a court of law for this heinous crime . if it is a crime by law ....is it ?
The rumour is that most of the encrochers on the main market areas are the karachi police or their licensed people that is why they are so eager to pick their carts and stalls away to the police stations from where it is released and comes back in the business ....the Karachi encrochment eco-system . So if we are really serious about the ending of this rapidly growing menace we will have to focus on the people who do it rather than the movable property . Arrest and imprisonment will and can only make it clear to the poor people that this is a crime and a very heinous one as well to land grab and Block the way and traffic disturb the peace of the city and when confronted to protest and block both the traffic and business of the traders of the market who are there legally and with proper permissions from the government of MQM and not just a local police station who collects the bhatta of rs two hundred each from a cart and stall daily or weekly or whatever and never gives any letter or proper document which can be used in case to prove the right of doing business in such a fashion in such a place .
Okay i am getting late for the fajr prayer so here i take a break with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!

11:33 am Good Morning !
the firsts tweet of the day
Sun 2nd Rabiulawaal 1440
30°C
11:28 am The short but timely electric power shutdown woke everyone up and the kitchen activity woke me up ....so i am up before noon today when i was expecting to get up at zuhr ....anyway ....Brunch is heavy and i cannot decide to eat or not to
okay so winter is not coming but the media is showing all kinds of winter up north and south west of the country and the highways and roads closed due to snow fall and rain fall and free fall ....is all we have here ....it seems that all my rose plants have dried up or died the good thing is that i never plant them in the ground because thanks to the builder mafia now our garden does not have sunlight so when they die we replace them with the new ones .....sadly last years purchased plants all died during the almost heat wave of karachi the most dangerous city in the world ...the one remaining till last week when they were cared for by trimming the dead and infected branches with canker and later the manure from the donkey cart ....and not to mention we had plenty of water last week ...so i am not really sure what actually killed them but the thing that is killing me here is the chilly weather and burning Sun all day long ....yes probably that is it with the rose plants as well ...anyways they are dead so there wont be a rose this thanks giving or the Christmas that's for sure ....and who knows maybe for the valentine as well ....last year on the eve of st valentines i was so surprised to see two new plants with fully bloomed roses in the garden ....don't know why the roaming nursery push cart vendor brought them for half the price he usually ask for ....anyways his roses never live long and usually we keep them away from my rose plants ....these rose plants survived four years they were brought for the APHA Nursery in gulistan e johar . the encroachment drive is in full force there so i am not sure if that nursery will survive or not ...most nurseries here on the islands were removed many years ago now there is only one left in the former Ayesha aziz park on kashmir road ...don't think it could survive either ....none of the nurseries here in jamshed town kept good un infected rose plants anyways ...so no love lost there ....
Okay its over five hundred words since somebody went to the market oven for Naan bread ...if i had gone to the market oven instead we would have had eaten by now ....LOL
OKay because of the tie breaker today of the Pak vs NZ ODI series the media is creating excitement by the encroachment drive ....news ...it seems like the Mayor of gothem city is on the loose ....for a day or two the media also tried to play the farooq sattar card ...and mujhey keun nikala after they heard the Chief Justice remark about Islamabad High court suspension of NAB sentences ....for the Sicilian mafia on NAB appeal . SO with IMAM out of today's game it could be anybody's game and seems like not an easy series for the majestic sarfaraz Saab the skipper under too much pressure ....So today i an not saying that i will finish this my the sunday Blog # 136 ( Hundred and thirty six ) early because of the game the 3rd and final ODI of the Pak vs NZ series . and its a long match and will probably know how it will end by the dinner time .
okay this reminds me that we have the Naan Bread from the market oven ....fully garnished with the property Sold same old story i have been eating most of my take away meals and stopped having Haji tikka BBQ take away meals since my dearly departed Ammi ( May her soul rest in peace in heaven Amen ! )
passed away four and a half years ago .....May the dear merciful lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! keep and protect and conserve these mutual friends roaming around the eateries and butcher shops to download a new file season after season and making my life and meals interesting ...Kasm se iss dafa toh eveybody has vacated and moved .......aap ko nahein pata ...hum bata ta houn ....mamoo ney dubai ka ticket deyne ka wada kiya hai ....aap nahein bhi poncho gay toh apun baatay gaa ....And make sure Wasiq hears this warna ticket kay paisay khud bharna per jain gay .....
So now i have to decide whether i can eat the hot garma garam naan bread with home cooked nulli nihari or lock my door and sleep peacefully .
And with this rant i made it ....just made it too the three thousand words mark on the words counter for this my the sunday Blog # 136 ( Hundred and thirty six ) ...and its break times as well so never mind the property sale or sold and no ahsas-e-zian .....besharm bhanjey ....LOL
so here i take a break with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!
12:59 pm Break (3199 words)
Been trying so hard to stay up ...
So for the next five hundred words i will ramble about the recent midterm trumplections 2018 .
Unlike many other democracies of the world where there is a parliamentary democracy here in the US we have the Veto Power and Russia Power stay in power for a maximum term in office and the white house by the President who is elected after every four years and re elected after four years again so totally if you were to die at forty kind of citizen of the world not just the united states or a jew from the middle east who is always at the risk ....then you will only get to live under three or four presidents at the most ....I missed Kennedy and will always regret that ...not that i could have saved him from the vacuum cleaner...( our first vacuum cleaner was named Hoover LOL) .
President carter was actually the first president of the united states of America me and my dearly departed Grand Mother Amma Bi ( May her soul rest in peace in Heaven Amen ! ) sworn in Color on our first color PYE television
After that it was the difficult times for me ...as my dear grand mother had passed away in the Summer holidays ...and our PYE color was not getting along well with the paternal family ...it was a bit heavy to lift so the repair guy used to come and repair at home ...i used to watch him in awe and decide to learn about repairing one day when i grow up ....Anyways the Military regime and a very distant first cousin of Papa ( may his soul rest in peace in heaven Amen ! ) and her whole family use to gate crash every other night and made it almost difficult for me to keep an eye on the recent developments in the US elections and that is how President Reagan and Nancy got into the white house and stayed hosting the Russians . and signed treaties and got re elected very easily . Shame our hoover had gone out of order and was lying as a junk in the store room .
Before the end of the Reagan second term i had been introduced to the Commodore Business Machines Vic 20 and IBM XT 286 ...was so out of wack that if they had not brought in the Saddam ....and CNN ...i may have lost it altogether ...so in came a record third republican term by the face mask of President Bush G.H.W and Husband of Barbara Bush ....By that time the era of PYE color was absolutely over and we had a National colour televison . and a sony colour televison ...the military dictatorship was almost over RIP and the uninvited gate crashers at night were very reserved would only come on invitation and i am sure used to check first before even leaving their house if the noori darwaza relatives of Ammi ( may her soul rest in peace in Heaven Amen ! ) were invited or not . Even Years later no decades later when they came to one of Papa's ( May his soul rest in peace in heaven Amen !) post funeral functions they came while i was rolling up the carpets and rugs ...LOL
So anyways No actually i really don't remember how Mr Clinton got the DNC nomination or who was his runner up in the race ....I think it was that rich guy who was making america crazy the Texan don't remember or if he was in this race or some later ... After the three republican terms President Clinton and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton seems perfect to roost in the whitehouse while the DOD and Pentagon tried their luck undisturbed ....
So they got their two terms with no major problem except they turned the taleban against the Pakistan . I am sure their intentions were good but still we did not like it . and got even by electing the sponsor and donor and long time friend the current President Trump . I really don't think Mrs Clinton will be strong enough to try again in the 2020 election ....can she ?
Okay the target was just five hundred words and here i may have crossed a lot more so here i take a break with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!

Fell asleep waiting for the tea ...and when i woke up the dinner was ready
No i did not eat ...can't eat at all after that kind of sleep ...almost missed the Maghrib prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!
Okay Pakistan seems to be going great and giving a big total to chase to the Black Caps in the 3rd ODI and a tie breaker ....okay so from now till the end of the game all prayers for the Team Pakistan only .....
aha there is Pakistan's 260 on the board ...well done
PAK 260/4 (47.4 ov) Babar Azam 90 (97b) Asif Ali 1 (1b) This Over: 2 0 2 1

okay taking about well and welldone ....the news tickers and head lines besides the Genghis Waseem Khan who is up in saddar karachi demolishing the British Raj .....( no love lost their either...LOL) ,
the other news is about the food chain restaurant the always up for cheap publicity or maybe some sas bahu serial ....yes two kids are reported to have died after eating at the zamazama clifton 's Arizona grill ...and their mother Ayesha is under observation at a private hospital ...and they are the residents of the creek vista ....and just before dying the kids had fun at the chunky monkey nearby ....so
No Comments

LOL
PAK__279/8
#Overs__50

....
Anyways ....very rarely did i get a reaction to this my the Sunday Blogs that quick anymore ....i will keep that in mind the next time i decided to mention the AT ....LOL

The Post happy Thanks Giving week ....okay ...
http://www.ideaspakistan.gov.pk/
This is a one tough year ......LOL
Okay lets move on to the moves of the week ...no first i take a short break and see if somebody is having the dinner or not ....
8: 32 pm Break ( 4513words )
9:03 pm Door bell ringing we have a chaapa ....Thank God the All Mighty Allah Amen ! that i took this break and had the facebook meet up ....somebody pointed out the few spelling mistakes but showed only one and i have corrected it ....now i will have to wake up at three am and review and edit this my the Sunday Blog # 136 ( Hundred and thirty Six ) ....it is already so long that i cannot read or review it on the Mobile Phone ....after two thousand words the vision goes blared and i cannot go on ....and my life schedule is so tight that once i miss something that long it is very difficult to get back to it ....You cannot imagine how i have been shutting up and down ...right and left to continue this my the Sunday Blogs-- for so long and still going on .... in few months i may be completing the third year .....so i need to relax and ignore this chaapa ....absolutely ....
lol
Okay so let get back on the track and move to the movies of the week ....Once again the food remained hectic so there was more sleep and less movies . the political activities and cricket matches made us watch more television then we usually do ...the Hindi soaps serials which were totally pull away from the televison and replaced with the turkish and english productions were mostly re runs so could not attract my attention . The two hindi soaps that we used to watch on the Urdu1 tv channel are becoming harder to watch on the net . So now i have decided to watch only one Kulfi ....which is still maintaining the suspense and thrill ....Krishna chali london ....reminded me of an old Hindi serial of star plus ...
Okay so this is it ....
Now there is not much time left for a short break ...the chaapa is over ... Thank God the All Mighty Allah Amen ! now i can move around freely and open the locked door ...as if i was moving around freely ....since i promised to only focus on team Pakistan today till the game is over so ....lets just ignore the chaapa ...and let them do whatever they think is best for them ....LOL
So while i was away reviewing the movies and free entertainment of the week ...the game took a very unbelievable turn ...it started to rain ...yes a real hard rain not just the drizzle ...in the @##$%^&* desert of UAE ... it not good ...not good ...rain is never ever good for team Pakistan .....OH MY GOD ......the dear Lord ...the All Mighty Allah ....the Amen ! .....
okay i need to cry now ....
