Today is the Sunday , the 10th of May 2020, the 16th of Ramzan 1441H till the Sunset ( 7:07 pm ; Karachi ) , And this is my the Sunday Blog # 214 ( Two Hundred and fourteen ) .
So today is the Happy Mother's day . Most of the world I mean countries have already celebrated it and some will do it later on when all our best flowers have worn out faded .
Mothers Day from wiki
So anyways you all know that it's been long since we stopped celebrating this day and if I am not mistaking i did not even mention it in my previous Sunday Blogs of the 2nd Sunday of the month of May . But anyways the main reason today I started this my the Sunday Blog #214 ( Two Hundred and fourteen ) by mentioning the Mother's day is that yesterday some main Stream media alerted that due to Lockdown in Pakistan, which by the way is 49 days old in Karachi ☠️ the oldest then the rest of the country , will result in 5 million new born babies due to continuous lockdown this year's end . 🤯
A moment of silence ....
🥁🎺🎷
Honestly I don't think this can be true . First of all there is a very strictly followed Social distancing
In place . Then there is no street cricket at all even in Ramzan . No hot and spicy food .. no Nihari paya restaurants open all night .. no loadshedding or breakdowns as frequently .... And besides how can the nation trust the pathans who steal sugar from their own produce and dough from their own Naan Bread at the market oven ( Tandoor) . Cannot imagine what they will do with the New Born of the Social distancing era .
Ya Allah Reham !
Let us pray for all the jews and the Muslims among the Eighty Thousands who died in the United States and New York and the Hudson River area .

.. ..Okay so my sehri is almost ready even though i had something very different in mind but when you get it done by somebody else you have to either go with the flow or register your request in advance . i did neither today ...so i will go with the flow ....Okay so there is still about more than half an hour . I don't know why i am so sleepy today already before the sehri so i don't think that i will be able to stay up after the fajr prayer .
And talking about the prayers ....the good news is that i have survived the first half of the Holy Month of Ramzan ....yes a full fifteen day Plus ....without any flu , cough , cold , Sneezing or runny or congested nose and throat. Ain't that Amazing ? So what is so different this year ....?
Social Distancing ?
Actually this is not politically correct . We have a city wide Lockdown . All Mosques in my neighbourhood are especially lockdown . So there is no chance of Me catching a weapons of Mass destruction from any of the nearby mosques during the weaker moments of the day after fasting . I can't even call it Social Boycott . Because social boycott sounds more like an oxymoron .
Social = The definition of social is someone or something that enjoys being with others or has to do with people living or gathering in groups. An example of social is children laughing and playing together. If you are social, you like to be around people
Boycott = an act of voluntary and intentional abstention from using, buying, or dealing with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually for moral, social, political, or environmental reasons.
Anyways ...So i am glad that i did not catch the flu virus this holy month of Ramzan throughout the better half of the holy month . Now the rest of the holy month will be much easy . But i do miss a lot going to the mosque for the Taravee prayer at night after eating Pakoras in iftari . It was always a challenge for me and every year before the holy Month of Ramzan begins i was of two minds to go or not to go ....and in the end i would Say ...on the first night ....after the sighting of the moon was announced , that i would just go and see if i can do it again this year ...And soon i would make up my mind that i have to do it this year too . Or atleast till i catch the flu . Last year in the final week i took a small towel to wipe my nose during and after the taravee prayer . yes it was that bad ...But did not give up .
And this year i was not even well come ....!
imagine that ...

2:52 pm Good Afternoon !
Thanks God there is a little water in the tap probably just enough for me to wash and wazu for the Zuhr Prayer so I better not waste any more time before all the water is gone again . But first the morning tweet here it is
Sun 16th Ramzan 1441H
34°C
2:31 pm Good Morning !
I know it's very late . Have desperately been trying to get up for hours but still can't . High winds outside . All predictions and emergency for a windless heat wave failed . Praiseth the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen !
No Water🚰
Everything changes in few minutes here in Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world . Anyways
Got to go and not sure when will I be back .
So here I take a prayer 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!

2:59 pm Break
4:50 pm okay so I bathed and prayed🛐
And then no reciting instead I went to the market for daily shopping . So tomorrow I will sleep all afternoon . Good !
Rumours are that the lockdown will be eased for the traders and small business owners in the Big Markets . Their leadership is spreading rumours that Sindh Sarkar is asking for heavy bribes to ease the Lockdown and issue softer SOPs honestly I knew what this SOP stands for ...let me think again ...oh yes Standard operating procedure
Dhobi ? Door Bell ...and door banging ...
Calling out loud ...it's the Ramzan Special . For Zakat only they don't take charity from me only ask for the big brother ...so be it . I also disown them publicly when ever where ever .
Something smells nice in the kitchen . Our food is cooked so early in the afternoon that not only it hurts so bad during the fast but also by the time we could eat it all the freshness and the good smell is gone ....not to mention the taste . But thank God we have the food images on time for iftari . Our food images keeps us connected to all the close and socially distant F n F . This is a historic Ramzan when there has been no chaapa .... We had two fateha and the youm Ali is just next week ....but I really don't think that we will have a chaapa now till the Eid days ....
Well ofcourse a very wicked person has started to pull her strings , I can feel it ...to motivate a few long lost cousins for the chaapa on Eid Day . So let's see what the Lord of Pandemic and lockdown does to her before that .
Door bell again ...no banging this time . The shop keeper tried to give me two very torn currency notes in change I am sure they were for the salvation army but i humbly returned them . Because I am in no mood for a change in my character especially when I cannot even buy some decent dates for iftari . Rumours has it that the Iranian Dates may contain the Covid-19 Corona Virus. So nobody in my local market is taking the fresh stock and the older stock was sold out with the news of the lockdown . I wasn't able to go out for panic buying because of the runny nose flu 😷 in Lent
Oh no now this chap has lost the patience ....he is pushing the door bell with one hand and pressing the wind horn on his tri- cart . I know this chap ...he usually Shepherd the black beggers in the neighborhood ... Iss manhoos ki himmat toh dekho .... 🧟
Anyways
I totally forget the topic I was discussing so let's save it for a later session
I believe it's the azan call from the mosque...so under normal circumstances this is where I would have got up and prepared and went for the prayers and shopping for the daily stuff or prayed at home and helped in the kitchen . This year I am absolutely unable to help except that when I take the pictures the table is automatically set . Amazing !
Okay then I need to get up pray 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!
5'47 pm Break
Sun 17th Ramzan 1441H

7:53 pm Good Evening !
Okay so I did the iftari cum Dinner with this
And then i prayed the maghrib 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!
Just had a glimpse of News Channels before lying in bed and doing this my the Sunday Blog # 214 ( Two Hundred and fourteen ) they were juggling the breaking news like a child 😷🤹🤹♀️🤹♂️🏺not like a professional jugglers and 🤡 clowns .
Anyways I guess the traders and small businesses have paid in full . Now their third wives will have no issues of being neglected 😉 and we can have the 5 million new born Sooner than projected . Wow the Bill and Melanda Gates foundation will have a enhanced task of immunization of the new born Pakistanis during the social distancing .
The hell with the pandemic Corona Deaths
Crusade. ⚔️🤴🎌
After all only Jews and Muslims were dying but if we can produce 5 million here and a 30 million there than the loss of just 1 million everywhere and especially the old 50 and above is not a loss at all .
Now coming back to the juggling breaking news ...by paying up the Traders and small businesses owners in the Big Markets have proved that their claims of having nothing at all to feed their hungry children at home was absolutely incorrect .
By the way .....🌌
My question is that if these traders and small businesses in the big city big markets have nothing to feed their children in a few days of lockdown and they claim to have been working hard for over fifty years then I ask ...what is the good of doing such a non profit business and trade for so long .
I need more brain to understand their logic so I ordered special Nihari from ghaffar kabab through food panda . I am so happy they send the full Maghaz looks so good in the pictures above 😍
Allah taa'la dono Kay karobaar main khair o barkat ata farmaay
Amen ! 🤲
It seems like hazam (digest ) ho giya ...so let's see if something is left
8:30 pm Break
9:54 pm Had Dinner again and this time all my system have fully recognized and accepted that I had the Dinner . I have two main indicators of a full meal .
1. I begin to sweat on the forehead ...rarely but yes sometimes even in a below 20°C ambiance .
2. I begin to feel sleepy 😴
So I guess this is it then . There is no reason to stay up .... except the Isha prayer , which would be better when i am not sleepy at all .
There are no shows to watch both on tv and on YouTube .In the street theater . A gang of dhol Wala or the hand drummer are roaming the street . Until last year they used to beat the drum and sing praise to the Lord and the holy prophet (Saw) and get the Zakat . Unfortunately their main supporter in the neighborhood has gone to Canada and the other one probably too busy with the charity work or maybe he too is stuck somewhere other than here ... So there street performers are ringing every door bell on the street to see if they can find any new sponsor for their show . Without a sponsor it's not possible to continue this show like before . The begger industry is definitely the hardest hit this holy Month of Ramzan and Zakat . There will be no Eid or Chand raat bazaar this year on Tariq Road . The market SOP clearly disallowed opening up of late night markets infact it directs them to start shutdown from four pm so that at five the force be not with delt . 🚢
.
😴
1:50 am It's a new day and a new date yes the Mothers day have passed . The 16th Ramzan and its Roza have also passed . How wonderful it would have been if i could have added The 17th Taravee to all the Amazing things that have passed at this hour .
This week we missed the Seventh Juma Mubarak congregation ...
Chapter 62 : verse 8 and 9 Surah Al Juma
Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.
I don't understand how they can shutdown the Juma Mubarak Prayers and congregation on the basis of a Hadis of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( SAW) in Bukhari .

Chapter: What has been mentioned about the plague
(30)
باب مَا يُذْكَرُ فِي الطَّاعُونِ
Narrated Saud:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place."
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا ". فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا وَلاَ يُنْكِرُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
Wallah ho Alam bis sawab
Allah knows what is correct !
But what the world knows is that Imran Khan made money from Cancer which was and still is an incurable disease .... And once again when he was going from pillar to post after taking over the office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan begging our sponsors and donors for help ....This Pandemic Covid-19 Corona Virus came with no known cure ....and once again he is making Money ...and this time he does not even have to get up from his Chair ....I really Don't understand this . Is it a blessing or a Curse ....I hope somebody closest to him in the next Media meet-up should ask him ....LOL
let me google ...wait .

okay the guy in the Google Doodle looks very different dont you think ?
So he was a writer Born in British India ....Probably a punjabi who died in Pakistan probably Lahore two years after his Forty . And long before the 1973 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan ....
Ignore kar !!!
Okay only Half and hour or more left ...but i can smell fresh tea brewing up ....is it politically correct to say brewing up for the tea ....let me check the tea first
Sorry must be a sleepless in karachi the most dangerous city in the world , Neighbour ... You wont believe this we have so many Almost Canadians , Americans and British stuck here in our neighbourhood ...i thought will never meet again ....Ever ...but see their Bad Luck ....has once again broken all records
I am so sure that if this time they got to get away ...they will never look back .....
Bet ?
I really don't think this ordeal is going to end soon ....So what is going to happen to the old planes and jets ....most of them are on contracts for a specific period of time . some have a flight life but others have age factor just like us humans ...ten years , twenty years etc ...and then the fact that they are all grounded at the moment rusting ...Birds and crows must be nesting in it . Will they ever be able to fly again and even if they are able to to fly again just like before .....Will there be a public confidence fully restored in those machines after remaining grounded for so long . And how will the financial Markets react to use of same old grounded airplance and jets ?
And then the media ....you know how media only propagates only the negative aspects of the Airline industry . And the New regulations ...Needs New Training's of the Staff and the Crew ...With new training comes the testing and examinations and certifications ....That is a due process ....It could take years ...and years . ...
All Airline Staff and flight Crew needs to be under the age of 50 , means a lot of the Airline staff and flight Crew will have to be laid off ....
New hires will have to be atleast ten years younger than 50 years .
its time for the Sehri ... the astronomical twilight is 4:25 am
So i better go out and check what to do for sehri ....i had too much chilled water so the belly feels full but i think i should eat something or i will be too weak all day long ...Even though all i have to do is sleep till 4 pm and then get up and pray .
But anyways ...
Sehri Time !!

Khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab

Uth rahi hai kaheen qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
Uth rahi hai kaheen qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
Apni khushbu men sulagti hui maddham maddham
Door ufuq paar chamakti hui qatrah qatrah
Gir rahi hai teri dil-daar nazar ki shabnam
Is qadar pyaar se ay jaan-i jahaan rakkha hai
Is qadar pyaar se ay jaan-i jahaan rakkha hai
Dil ke rukhsaar pih is waqt teri yaad ne haath
Yoon gumaan hota hai garchih hai abhi subh-i firaaq
Dhal gaya hijr ka din aa bhi gayi wasl ki raat
Dasht-e-tanhai men
Ay jaan-i jahaan larzaan hain
Teri aawaaz ke saaye
Tere honton ke saraab
Dasht-e-tanhai men
Doori ke khas o khaak tale
Khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab.
