Today is the Sunday the 23rd of December 2018 , the 15th of Rabi us Sani 1440 H till the sunset ( 5:49 pm , Karachi ) And this is my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) .
Okay it is not the Christmas Eve and also not the Last Sunday Blog of the Year because there is one more sunday next week before the Happy New years . Even though my Sunday Blogging Year ends and begins in Lent or around Easter in April and not in June ...i mean Christmas . So Anyways .
Being a Nobody among the weeks ...Still this week had a lot of excitement and fun fair in its own as well for the Karachi the most dangerous city in the world .
The fourteenth KIBF opened on Friday the 21st and may continue till the Christmas on 25th . No No it is not the KLF ...which will be celebrating its tenth next year ....actually i myself got confused because of that Nasser uddin Shah controversy and the fake ticket to karachi for the independence day . I don't understand why these so called extremist of Indian politics so obsessed for karachi the most dangerous city in the world . They are kind of testing Mr Shah for his openness . Anyways , Karachi is definitely not about reading , Books and literature ....The BITCH ( British Council ) left us years ago and never returned . About a year ago it send a Bar Code to Scan ...Which nobody could access due to some non political reasons ...so lets just not waste time on such trivial things and take my word for it that ...the Bitch is gone for ever . In the past few months ...Some of the most prominent Newspaper and old Books stands on the roadsides on busy market places which used to remind us of the good old days have also been removed. I mentioned my Tariq Road news stand few weeks ago when i felt it missing and recently when i visited the post Anti Encroachment drive Empress Market ... I was so shocked to see a free flow of traffic and the kerb of the newspaper and books Stand completely drowned in the ocean of traffic ...Karachi the most dangerous city in the world and especially the Saddar market area is so about traffic these days that if you find a place to stand for few minutes to think and ponder than you should consider yourself the lucky .
So Anyways , Lets begin this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and Forty Two ) with one of my very favorite verse of Poet Allama Iqbal .
There was a time in my life when i thought that if worse come to the worse ....and i have to impress someone most probably my dearly departed Papa ( May his soul rest in peace in Heaven ) i will do a thesis and get my doctorate on this verse . ThankGod the All Mighty Allah Amen ! I survived and lived to see the day when it is not about the Autocracy vs democracy ....as bleak as it can be ...but
about the Colors vs Star plus ( Hotstar) ...as bright as can be ...
Anyways who cares now ....
Oh By the way ...The greatest news this century is that which may be the most interesting news for the mankind this Krishna has finally reached London and already met her mentor Dr veer the famous cardiologist who does his lunch in a cathedral in london .
Okay i am a bit more confused so please don't ask me ....Okay it is not the Christmas Eve and also not the Last Sunday Blog of the Year because there is one more sunday next week before the Happy New years . Even though my Sunday Blogging Year ends and begins in Lent or around Easter in April and not in June ...i mean Christmas . So Anyways .

about the Colors vs Star plus ( Hotstar) ...as bright as can be ...
Anyways who cares now ....
But please give me the liberty to ask ...who will or who should decide the future of Radhay Lal shukla of Civil Lines Kanpur ....?
Democracy ? ...or Autocracy ?
you keep wondering ...while i take a break and enjoy a spoonful of the fresh rabri i brought from Burns road yesterday ...
2:06 am Break ( 650 words)
2:43 am How unlucky can you be at this hour ...? It turns out that i had myself put the box of fresh sweet Rabri in the freezer to same it from the diabetics ...and now i cannot eat it because it is so frozen ...wont budge for hours unless somebody microwaves it ...not me . I am so against melting in the microwave the things which changes colour , taste and actual form . So anyways i had just tea and peanuts ...peanuts are a man's best friend in this winter season . Even though everybody has its own poison in this winter season that he or she prefers to regularly take to keep warm and keep ones mind off from the thought of what everybody especially your family and friends are getting for Christmas this year . I am so sure that the British Army Crusaders and missionaries say merry Christmas with a peculiar tone just to tease us Muslim men and clergy especially .
So did you wonder about my thesis verse above ....okay never mind just tell me why ? Iqbal ...? why not keats , byron or Eliot ?

And talking of Germans ...I being so inspired by the Honorable German envoy who photo bombs him self all the time ...i also took some of my selfies in the downtown area also knows as the saddar . I must say that i am looking quite awkward without proper makeup and facials as well as lighting and technical people to advise . Honestly taking selfies is so much easier if you have a plan . Without a plan ...i must say it is very difficult to understand what and how will be the outcome . But anyhow it also depends on when and where the pictures must be taken and for who . If it is for a very private and personal collection then anything goes ...but if it is for the Facebook or social media then you have to be much more ready and willing to be not to be found taking and posting the very casual ones or the ones that does not make sense .
Okay i am falling from drowsiness and cannot stay up any minute more ...so its goodbye and a break .
3:33 am Break ( 1071 words)
8:50 am Good Morning !
here is the first tweet of the day
Sun 15th RabiusSani 1440

8:39 am Oh Wow ! a Tsunami Hits Indonasia while i was fast asleep again ...it was actually very unusual that i fell asleep at this hour ..anyways RIP for all those who missed the Christmas and all the best for music band seventeen if they survive
Okay Wow ! so while i was sleeping there was a Tsunami somewhere in Indonesia found out about it while doing my first tweet of the day few minutes ago ...and the most interesting news beside over 50 so far reported dead and many missing ...is a viral video of a local never heard of Music band performing while the Tsunami hits the stage ...Some band members and their girls are also reported missing ...were they that bad ...or was the mother nature even more pissed off then me ...who knows here is the viral video
Says it was .....Triggered by Volcano Kills at Least 43 in Indonesia
Now don't you just love the New York Times at these times of the year ...because they tell you something you cannot even imagine ....Thankyou ! So with all the Fun killed does it affects the death toll ? LOL
Can you believe What plans i had for this Sunday Morning and what i am doing right now ....I mean online for this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) never mind the off line because for Sundays its just an alternate plan the first option is always to be here and do this my the Sunday Blog all day and night ...or All night and all day ...i mean twenty four hours ....Amazing that out of the twenty four hours of the Sunday today ...from the mid night last night ...about nine and a half hours are already gone . And even though i am still a five hundred words short of the words count i usually wake up to or have been waking up to for the past couple of weeks still i feel i am a way ahead of the schedule ( and i will never learn the spelling of this word and always have to rely on the dotted red line spell check Aah ! )
So whats the point in eating the winter specials now when i am hit by the season's predicament . Nasal congestion , an occasional cough that triggers the alarm and warning from the siblings to take the medicines and shake it of the euphoria .
And talking of Euphoria ...the Commissioner of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world as undersigned a joke which he thinks is very funny and may get his a few extra Christmas and Happy New year invites and goodie hampers ...i believe ...

1:04 pm Break ( 1928 words )
3:15 pm Good After noon !
must have been a very long time since i had one of those siesta...z ...oh no then what i had was not brunch but lunch or can we also have a siesta after the Brunch ....will do the research later ...
So here i am All Done and fresh as if the day has just began . Okay now let me re collect what happened today . So i took a break a 9:55 am ( 1789 words) ...Took a warm bath and went for the Sunday Morning Winter Walk ...then i took a bus ride ( coach) to saddar ...the empress market was high and dry today on a sunday Morning ...no traffic at all ...most of the shops were very closed . So while interchanging for the next Bus to take me to Burns Road ...because of no traffic i noticed there was a very small Newspaper and old books stall brewing up under the lamp post very near the same spot where there used to be a huge newspaper stall . I am not sure how to translate it in the dollar $$ terms ....it can't be a "drink me" ....neither can it be a " Happy Christmas Eve Eve !! " can it be ....no i don't thinks ...what's a Bitch got to do with Merry or Eve ? and then of course not EVE EVE ...unless there is an L in it ....so anyways ...well
There you have it the Sunday Breakfast scene on Fresco burns road ...not sure if it is just like that or was it coming to an end as i got there by Eleven am . I missed a couple of rides back just to get a direct ride because i had a bag of hot and spicy paya with me ...don't know why it was skulking ...must be too embarrassed to bring me back un- fed ...Anyways ...just before my stop an uncle with a four legged walking stick got up to get off ...i got back to make room for him but he asked where i want to get off and let me go ahead ...and so when i looked where i was ...it was nearer to the market oven so i took the hot naan bread and came home . Where my dear siblings were waiting worried as hell . So without further ado we sat to eat and had Our very first Beef Paya Special Sunday Brunch /lunch ...or whatever ...
After that i was here and took a break at 1:04 pm ( 1928 words) ..while i was shutting down my dear Brother messaged he wanted to talk ...so first i prayed 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!
and then i joined in on the conference call . By the time the call ended ...was almost asleep . About an hour of Siesta ...got up cooled the router for few minutes and then since then here i am ... for exactly an hour ...it is 4:15 pm ...
By the way in this past hour ...there has not been any cough or sneeze ...and the breathing has been so fine that i can smell something brewing or boiling ...in the kitchen ...let me just check ...yes i knew it ...it is the Joshanda boiling . That is how clear my nose is at the moment ...but when i will sit to eat on the dinner table ...or have cup of tea walking ..something will irritate my nostrils and my siblings will get a chance to ...okay wait they have already started without me ...so i better hurry up and take a break and join the facebook meetup ...
Na i better not ...so far i have been better of without the fairytales ...
Oh ...no ....the land line phone rings ...so now the meet up is absolutely over ....
This is how the Saddar Town looked like today before noon .....on a Happy Christmas eve eve !!
Okay the Good News from the Fairytales side is that my dear Uncle and Aunt has finally got the money for their share in my property ...Praiseth the Dear Merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! Pakistan Airforce and the veterans wives associations world wide are saved from the eternal doom ...or is it doomed ? ...whatever ....
so now comes the task of getting my dearest and youngest sister her share in the said property ....She has been waiting and keeping her hopes alive even when all of my siblings had given up hope for Karachi Kings ever winning a PSL Final ....ya worse .
So ...Hopefully there will be more fairytales updated in the next sunday blog ...but to get to that we will have to survive the coming week ...and Christmas and boxing day ....Wednesday ....
Time for 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!

i had this
And then as i was about to get back to this my the Sunday Blog #142 ( Hundred and forty two ) i heard the first Isha Azan and it felt really good on the very silent night theme ...and background ...usually i pray the Isha prayer after the midnight while doing this my the Sunday Blog ...First i finish it and then i have the supper and then i check for the early reactions or sunday clumsyz ...and then if i have it in me then i pray isha ...but today i have already prayed Isha 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 so before coming to this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) i made yet another cup of coffee with milk ...actually yesterday or the day before that i saw (watched) a Christmas movie where i saw the latte with extra foam ...well actually i cannot have a latte with extra foam any more ...but a little milk may not hurt that bad ...infact while making the coffee i got one of those interesting foam imagine ...and instantly reached for my mobile camera unfortunately it was not in the pocket ...so i lifted the tiny coffee pot with handle from the stove to go and bring the mobile cam from the room ...But the image instantly vanished as if it was for my Dear Bother and not for me ....I usually never get images like that ...not in coffee foam ...not in the eggs ...not even in the cloud trails ...So anyways ...now when i made the coffee before re starting this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) after the Isha Prayers 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 the death toll of the Tsunami in Sunda strait indonesia has been updated from 46 early this morning to 222 just a few hours ago the missing are now believed to be over 700 .

So today i did not get a chance to see , read or hear what the pope or the holy see had to say ...i am sure he must be very excited after hearing about the Tsunami .Aha ...i knew it ...his latest ..tweet about four hours ago talks in length about the lights ....Good ...So this means that we can discuss anything ...with him now even the future of Radhay lal shukla from civil lines kanpur ...it is good that neither of us likes the Lala's from Kanpur whether they are on the civil lines or not across the board without any bias or the prejudice . Honestly , i can't watch Krishna anymore on the other hand Kulfi is getting better and better every day of the week and the one after the weekend break is even better ..so i have felt recently ...for some odd reason i am forced to watch krishna with kulfi like a buy one get one free deal ...which is so not done for it as a package ...so help me please ...please . somebody sponsor krishna's london stay till june atleast ...that might solve this puzzle and save us from a lot .
9:25 pm Break ( 3868 words)
9:55 pm You wont believe how relieved i am today as there is no coercion about the meals and facebook meetups ...my siblings here are both very relaxed and definitely not hungry ...infact they must be feeling over fed ...there is no distraction from the cooking and kitchen as well . And maybe this is the reason that despite going so slow and have long breaks of sleep and outing ...winter walk and rides ...i am still going to end this my the sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) well ahead of the three thousand words target . Already i am at almost the four thousand words mark on the words counter for this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) with exactly two more hours to go . And i already have a few song videos in mind to share and end this my the Sunday Blog # 142 ( Hundred and forty two ) with ...so i believe i have a few extra minutes there as well because sometimes about fifteen to twenty minutes and wasted in the end in search and research of the song and song video to share and end this my the Sunday Blog with ....
So anyways
lets not waste time here anymore and move on to the movies of the week .....
Rated 5 stars ...okay the story was good ...but maybe i was not in the mood for a valentines day movie ...so i may watch this one again or maybe not ...
Okay this is it ....
i hope the Christmas movies will continue next week as well .
So i have no plans for the next week ...most of the town and city will be closed on Christmas and maybe the public transport will also be off ...so i will stay at home and watch movies or eat and sleep ...the media mafia is trying to create a hype but i am sure everybody will be disappointed if they extended the date or delayed ...well you never know ....and i really don't care anymore ...
By the way ...since i may be reading this a the next year or some time later ...so it is better that i clear it here what i am talking about ...

Lene Marlin - Sitting Down Here
[Intro]I am sitting down here
But hey you can not see me
[Verse 1]
Your words are rather cut deep, they are just some other lies
I'm hiding from a distance, I've got to pay the price
Defending all against it, I really do not know why
You're obsessed with all my secrets, you always make me cry
You seem to wanna hurt me, no matter what I do
I'm just saying a couple, but somehow it gets you
But I've learned how to get revenge and I swear you'll experience that some day
[Refrain]
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
I'm sitting down here, but hey you can not see me
[Verse 2]
I'm not trying to avoid you, just do not wanna hear your voice
When you call me so often, I do not really have a choice
You're talking like you know me and wanna be my friend
But that's really late now, I will not try it again once
You may think that I'm the loser, that I do not really care
You may think that it's all forgotten, but you should be aware
Cause I've learned to get revenge and I swear you'll experience that some day
[Refrain]
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
[Interlude]
[Middle 8]
You seem to wanna hurt me, no matter what I do
I'm just saying a couple, but somehow it gets you
But I've learned how to get revenge and I swear you'll experience that some day
[Refrain]
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
I'm sitting down here, but hey, you can not see me
Kind of invisible: you do not mean my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I'll join you for one day
