The Sunday Blog # 219

Today is the Sunday the 14th of June 2020 , the 22nd of Shawwal 1441H till the Sunset ( 7:23 pm ; Karachi ) .And this is my the Sunday Blog # 219 ( Two Hundred and Nineteen ) .

It was an Awesome Week . Which began with a cake and ended with a 🍰 cake . I mean a Happy Birthday . It has been a year since I took a careem ride to my siblings house two towns away . Fortunately , after over two months of lockdown the careem is now back allowed to operate with some restrictions and SOP's . But my siblings are too scared of the Corona virus and lockdown that it is better that I maintain the social distancing .
Okay the two main reasons why it's been so long since I visited them is
1. My nocturnal sleeping habit and ,
2. The hot , humid and rainy weather last year .
It was raining on bakra Eid
And people were being electrocuted . Forget Careem I didnot go to places I can walk to like the graveyard for over a year since the Eid day in June last year . For over two months of lockdown I did not go to the meat market Tariq road until this Friday . And I have not yet  seen the newly opened underpasses on the shaheed e Millat road .
My guess is that with a signal free traffic it must be impossible to cross it on foot . On Google maps one of the crossings on the Jinnah medical crossing is still blocked meaning the project is not yet fully completed . Maybe that's the reason why when we order food from bahadurabad or sharfabad area the riders take a longer route from Tariq road or Kashmir road and sometimes call to ask as if we are on an island across the sea .

So anyways the building and construction mafia both private and government contractors and even the international consortiums like the Chinese have hit the bottleneck due to this pandemic Corona virus . These days due to the uncertain govt policies the work is almost halted . Many scandals of bribe and bhatta coruption will emerge no matter how much the ruling class try to play the cover-up pingpong . It is amazing that the sugar subsidy scandal has brought to limelight the across the party involvement . Meaning each and every political party has its share in it regardless of party in power in the center or the provinces and the opposition .

The bad news is that after two weeks of petrol crisis . Which surely reduced the smog and increased the prospects of the rain in most of the country except Karachi☠️

Now the politically unison are up against the everyday use kitchen essential item yes the sugar . The rate has been fixed at Rs 70 per kg by the supreme Court of Pakistan and the hoaders and smugglers all politically backed are not satisfied with that price . So the media has already started reporting shortage in supply at main markets and utility stores across the country .
It's good for the diabetics I believe . I already drink the tea without sugar so I will survive a sugar free week or a month I am sure if it don't you worry .

Another most interesting judicial activism this week was when the supreme Court of Pakistan fired the highest Railway officer   and warned his staff for incompetence .

The only good news on the political scene this week is that due to the Corona virus social distancing many political leaders and law makers have tested positive and are excused from the boring budget sessions in the national as well as the provincial assemblies of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan .

And finally the great news is that the party that brought broadband for me from the UK , also imported MS Cynthia D Ritchie

کبھی کسی کو مکمل جہاں نہیں ملتا

کہیں زمین کہیں آسماں نہیں ملتا

تمام شہر میں ایسا نہیں خلوص نہ ہو

جہاں امید ہو اس کی وہاں نہیں ملتا

کہاں چراغ جلائیں کہاں گلاب رکھیں

چھتیں تو ملتی ہیں لیکن مکاں نہیں ملتا

یہ کیا عذاب ہے سب اپنے آپ میں گم ہیں

زباں ملی ہے مگر ہم زباں نہیں ملتا

چراغ جلتے ہی بینائی بجھنے لگتی ہے

خود اپنے گھر میں ہی گھر کا نشاں نہیں ملتا


Pakistan Zindabad !

3:24 am Break

4:00 am Sabiha Khanim dead !
Rip 💐

So anyways regardless of the corner or the color of the shorts

Here is my take on the ....super light weight

In the Red corner Ms Ritchie Pakistan Zindabad

Vs

In the blue corner Mr Malik ...a super star very well decorated American war on terror Hero

What can I do ?


Okay it's time for the fajr prayer .

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!


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


4:15 am Break

5;52 am Its ten minutes past the sunrise rise time ...( 5:42 am : Karachi )

okay i have skipped the Sunday Breakfast today .....and i have just been informed that we are out of stock for the White Gram Choley . And yesterday i was informed that there is a complete lockdown ....so there is no chance of a Halwa puri Sunday Special Breakfast today .... And you can also see the 42.7 % waning moon on the sky right now meaning its partly cloudy and no chance of a rain....
Can you believe there are mangoes in the house for the past whole week and i have not touched them ...especially after i had a boil on the forehead after eating the home made raw mango keri pickle ...it hurt and was only gone yesterday ....only after that i had a almost frozen mango shake .....yesterday with lunch .....no direct mango yet ....

And you would be glad to know that all systems are almost normal .....especially the skin and the stomach as well as the throat and nasal ....no unwanted mucus yet .

So anyways it should have been the time to discuss the Annual Budget 2020 -2021 and the finance Bill presented this friday .,  read by one and explained by another ....Democracy ....,

so that i can fall asleep and have sweet dreams  ,,,,but since i have the Data now so i guess i should do the Movies of the week first and we will discuss the Budget later on either today or in the coming weeks ....



Okay this is it from the movies of the week .... 

okay i am feeling sleepy now but not as much as i would have if we were doing the Budget instead ....anyways ....it time ....for a break ....

6:47 am Break


12:01 pm The first tweet of the day

Sun 22nd Shawwal 1441H
35°C
11:51 am Good Morning !
So if I sleep after nine and started waking up half an hour before Eleven then how long did I actually sleep ?
Honestly i Don't think I have sleep at all but somehow I feel like I have been sleeping a lifetime Street too Quiet




So the Black protests have taken one more black protesters life in Atlanta and forced the police chief to resign . Shiekh Rasheed on the other hand has gone back to CMH Rawalpindi for further 🚆 training .

This week the cricket board announced a squad for England which included the former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmad as a stepni wicket keeper . Remember he yawned keeping the wickets in the most crucial match against India . Due to the pandemic Corona virus many selected players seems to have refused to go with the squad . Can you believe that it is probably the only cricketing event in the world at the moment so there maybe no other opportunity available for them to go to other then the baby shower still that's what they decided so fitay moo what do I care ?
Okay the Sunday Brunch time is slipping away ....and it's almost the Zuhr Azan time so I guess
Now I will have to eat lunch after the prayer
So here I take an early 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!


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
12:40 pm Break


2:52 pm Okay so first we had the lunch






and then I had tea and then I had the bath and 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
Then I recited half para ...I begin to sweat very much so I stopped will try to pick up pace from tomorrow . I am finishing this Quran for the fateha of Ammi ( may her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen! ) Which is on the first of July ....after I finish this one I will try to finish two more in the month of July for Papa's fateha in zilhaj a week before the bakra Eid .it will be very difficult but I can try ....I have done three a day before Ramzan so I believe I can do it again let's see .
Amazing I am so not sleepy 😴 right now nor i am under any pressure to go to the market . Cooking in this hot and humid weather is very difficult ...so I am not bringing the essential ingredients But you won't believe what our cooking mafia did .... cooked the water melon 🍉skin just to look busy ....Jesus ⚔️






I had no idea that the colorful sweet pieces found in the Zarda and we so love to dig can be made  from the water melon 🍉 skin . I am not really sure if I would be so eager to dig in the Zarda the next time I see it . Heard so much bad stuff about the food colors already 😭

Okay now I am yawning so I better sleep 😴 have so much time before the next Azan .

 
3:28 pm Break

4:59 pm Shocked !
Before I shutdown I had a glance on the Twitter trends for Karachi ☠️
And deep down I saw # sushatsinghrajput the Indian actor famous for Shud Desi and bomakesh bakhshi . Found dead in his Mumbai residence . Probably suicide . Cannot believe this .....then Rajput must be a filmy name .
So what a day it is ...first Sabiha died at the age of eighty five and here this . I do sincerely hope his death had nothing to do with the Highland clubs and police .

Today I feel being followed from a distance .

Should have ignored every thing in the ambience and enjoyed the relaxed sleep 😴 because the more I delay it the more it will come

Anyways it's time for the Azan ....
So here I take a break for the 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

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

5:26 pm Break




Sun 23rd Shawwal 1441H
35°C
7:41 pm Good Evening !
Finally fall asleep at Six and suddenly woke up in the dark room and thought that I missed a prayer hurriedly got up turn on the light switch and watched the time and then the next prayer time .. there was more than ten minutes difference so I hurriedly rushed to wazu for the prayer when I suddenly realized that I had prayed the 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

Still I finished the wazu and waited for the next Azan . And enjoyed the absolutely changed weather .... Instead of hot and sunny now we have mostly cloudy and windy ...and I was being roasted here during the short sleep as the cooking mafia was making chicken soup in the kitchen next door .
I don't know why but I am feeling too weak must be the dehydration .

....😴.....

Dinner 😴

😴

Okay I will finish this my the Sunday Blog #219 ( Two Hundred and Nineteen ) after midnight ...😴


2;21 am     i have no idea what happened ....must be a food coma ...i sleep for over three hours continuous and keep sweating ...the pillow is so wet as if somebody threw a tumbler of water on it ....Anyways ....i believe it is already late and i should end this my the Sunday Blog # 219 ( Two Hundred and Nineteen ) .

Well actually i have been sleeping for hours now and i have nothing to do for the next two hours ....i have already prayed the 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




So i can add a few hundred words before ending this my the Sunday Blog # 219 ( Two Hundred and Nineteen )
Just saw these tweets ....with a Hash Tag #CERN (Conseil européen pour la recherche nucléaire )
......
....
So this proves or suggests that he had a Bucket list .....means i should not be surprised ....okay fine ....the last movie i watched of him was Drive ...before that it was Chichore ....i have missed only two movies of his ....other than the shuddh desi romance which i never got to see in full in one go ....not sure why .....maybe i always watched it on the cable ....start late and get up early.

There have been too many good actors of the Mumbai gone this year ...and the funny thing is that every time a good one dies ....people look up to the Shahrukh Khan and feel relieved ....

Okay now to some sad News ....

The Pathans have taken over the Triplet Hospitals of Cant Karachi

Okay this is it .....we will discuss the budget after it is passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan otherwise we will have many other topics to discuss at length next Sunday . Now as you know it is the Monday morning and usually i have no soaps serials to watch on the sunday morning but last week my favourite channel Urdu1 tv has started a new Turkish Comedy serial ...Ek Hassen Inteqam

ABOUT

EK HASEEN INTEQAM

FOLLOW ON


Maheen, unlucky with her love life, finally decides to marry the man of her dreams. However, the groom Roshan, disappears on their wedding day, leaving Maheen alone. After this shocking event, it is almost impossible for Maheen to live happily. She was told it all happened due to her being cruel to someone she met in her past life. Everything begins with Maheen’s search for faith. While she starts to question her past, she remembers Shahan, the guy who loved her during her college years.
Shahan, heartbroken and humiliated by Maheen in front of everyone, was forced to leave the school. He went abroad and started a new life becoming a chef and returns to Turkey to start a restaurant business. Maheen believes that if she finds Shahan and apologises to him, there may be a chance for her to get rid of this curse. However, things will not be so easy, because Shahan is no longer the same person. For Shahan, it is just the right time to take his revenge.
...


 Somehow i believe it is much easier to watch it here online than on the Urdu1 tv .....Because of you know who ?

KHAIRIYAT CHHICHHORE | Sushant, Shraddha | Pritam, Amitabh B|Arijit Singh



Khairiyat
Khairiyat pucho, kabhi to kaifiyat pucho
Tumhare bin deewane ka kya haal hai
Dil mera dekho, na meri haisiyat pucho
Tere bin ek din jaise sau saal hai
Anjaam hai tay mera Hona tumhe hai mera
Jitni bhi hon dooriyan filhaal hain
Yeh dooriyaan filhaal hain Ho...
Khairiyat pucho, kabhi to kaifiyat pucho
Tumhare bin deewane ka kya haal hai
Dil mera dekho, na meri haisiyat pucho
Tere bin ek din jaise sau saal hai
Tumhari tasveer ke sahaare mausam kayi guzaare
Mausami na samjho par ishq ko humaare
Nazron ke saamne main aata nahi tumhare
Magar rehte ho har pal manzar me tum humare
Agar ishq se hai mila Phir dard se kya gila
Iss dard mein zindagi khush haal hai
Yeh dooriyaan filhaal hain O...
Khairiyat pucho kabhi to kaifiyat pucho
Tumhare bin deewane ka kya haal hai
Dil mera dekho, na meri haisiyat pucho
Tere bin ek din jaise sau saal hai
Anjaam hai tay mera Hona tumhe hai mera
Jitni bhi hon dooriyan filhaal hain
Yeh dooriyaan filhaal hain.
