And this is my the Sunday Blog № 254 ( Two Hundred and fifty four) .
So today is the Happy Valentine's day
So if it is a Jewish Conspiracy ...then it is okay . Because I can understand .
Nobody is interested in love in the month of February . The wedding season is over .
The Winter is over in most parts of the world .
The Schools vacations are over in the entire world .
The Chances of Nani ( mother of all mother's ) dying is the slimmest in February .
The Chances of rain is also very slim in February and almost impossible here in Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world ,
People usually don't plan a trip overseas or Intercity in the month of February .
Rarely people travel for rest and recreation in this month
How many people do you know who shift home or move into new Neighborhoods in this month of February .
There is absolutely very limited scope for Cupid to struck .
There are hardly enough sights to fall in love 😍 at first sight
People usually don't get promoted , get pay increase or move up the ladder to be confident enough to make a commitment and boldly express their feelings .
A whole month of hard labor with four plus Rose 🌹 plants and what do I get ?
Just one multicolored rose
Rs 149 /- for just one rose on pandamart ( 99/- now)
This is definitely not the month to love , or express your love and definitely not the month to share your love .
Period .
But anyways ...let's get back on track ...so in most Jewish dominated markets ..the first month after the Happy New Year is very gloomy , slow as we say it here , for all the non religious event or festival month . There is no patriotic holiday like the independence day or Quaid's birth day . Not even the republic day . It is absolutely impossible to make people spend other than the ordinary , normal and routine.
Let alone spending on something so unorthodox almost tabboo that none other than the individual for whom an article is bought , will approve or appreciate .
God Save the Queen 😇
Sun 1st Rajab 1442H

8:09 am Happy Valentine's day !
Fall asleep at 3:00 am Missed Fajr 😭
Woken up by heat or sweat seeking mosquitoes dance & sing a happy song on my head .
Trump Aquitted !
United States 🇺🇸
Senate fails to achieve two-thirds majority needed to convict
1 day ago — 7 Republicans joined their Democratic colleagues in voting to convict Trump over the Capitol siege, while 43
Awesome 👍 I knew it ...that is why I enjoyed my movies and soaps and the free entertainment street shows .
Preferred over the waste of time and money impeachment trial of the forty fifth ( 45th) Elected President of the United States of America 🇺🇸
The people of United States of America 🇺🇸 are so uneducated and silly , Everytime media makes them do it . They watch and watch and probably eat junk food and finally see a smiling face of their favorite news anchor and accept it is over . To them The democracy has prevailed and the jumpy Democrats are levelled . 57-43 Seven they say ... Yes seven Republicans voted against party lines just to make them suffer more ...yes making them realize how bad the situation is or could have been
The actual situation is that it's the media dictatorship . They give the American public nightmares and sleepless nights and then suddenly it's the dawn ...back to work .
Wow !
So when is the justice going to prevail ?
If so then why this mayhem ?
Why can't the American public gets to know that this is the result . No News Anchor or hired political Analyst tells them . They just blow up out of proportion the worst case scenario .
Just imagine the difference between the US public and US media vs the rest of the world media and their respective public .
In Russia a man robs a bank or a store injures a guard and escapes ...this a breaking news .
In China ..a man was caught after he tries to steal from a bank . That's it .
But in the United States ...
Breaking News ...this just in ...there is a hot pursuit chase going on on the interstate ...we have no idea who he or she is and why the whole state police is chasing him or her . We have reasons to believe that the jon doe is Armed and dangerous .
I don't know maybe that sounds exciting in the middle of the day or before office closing hours ...but here in this part of the world it's too late after midnight ...
Every hair on my skin says ...let's cut to the chase and go to bed after an hour of useless mindless media trauma .
I remember and miss the old day of my life when Nine O clock News bulletin was the last chance our media use to have to play with my mind and soul . Rarely did we see the news papers in the morning before going to school . It was only during college we had so many off days especially after MQM .
That our miseducation began .
Anyways , why waste time missing and regretting the Paradise Lost when we can be on the Cloud no Nine 😇
Okay now to sports news ...
There are three major sporting events going on this week .
1. Senate and by Election
2. Navy Exorcist Aman 2021
3. PakVSa
So let's begin with The cricket .
Pakistan rolled up the Test series for South Africa 2-nil
And then levelled the T20
1-1
For a moment I thought that the remaining tour will be washed out by rain ...but you know it's the unholy month of February . And we are not that blessed .
10:10 am breakfast time over ...I have started Zuhr prayer at the local mosque regularly so no brunch for me as well .
Seems like Chaapa ...got to go ...
Sorry false alarm ...
Somebody was trying to turn the car at our gate and that very moment the phone rang ...it was somebody checking his sim activation .
So we are back to no brunch Last Sunday of the season .
It's already 26°C on my Digital Azan wall clock . So this is also the last week of the Zuhr prayer walk . Lent fasting begins next week . And I am totally committed .
Only there will be much less time for the social media and Sunday Blogging . So I guess the target words count should be reduced down to Two Thousand words during the six Sundays in lent 2021 .
I feel like my Sunday Blogs have become monotonous ...so I have two choices ...either I change the format or quit it altogether .
So if I quit this my the Sunday Blog ....how will be my Sunday mornings ...staying at home ..watching movies and eating and killing myself or I will go out for a walk near and far to food street and the Beach and let the Navy kill me 😂
Apologies accepted !
11:00 am I guess this is it . It's time to update this my the Sunday Blog № 254 ( Two Hundred and fifty four ) online .
Will continue offline after that . Also it is so quiet and peaceful this morning that I cannot save it for the last minutes .
Just in case I called it quits after the lunch here are the movies of the week and the sufiscore's latest release not really ...sure 🤓
When I went outside the room elder brothers were on phone busy ...
Our cooking mafia was totally distracted somehow ...she fried an egg and ate it and was just about to pour the tea in the pot ...so I waited and enjoyed the absolutely deserted street scene .
Then I remembered that our cooking mafia cooked gajar ka meetha meetha Halwa ...
So I asked if she needs some hot and spicy thing to eat with the gajar ka meetha meetha Halwa special ...and she said what she had been saying since yesterday Nihari ...I was not in the mood for Nihari ...but I agreed ...so I went to the market and first checked for the beef Paya ...got it ...lucky me ..then I went to the other restaurants oven line and got the milky naan bread ...then I went to the third restaurant and took the Nihari and Beef Biryani ...it is kind of funny ...all the sitting area of the restaurant is empty ...not a single table or chair inside ..except the cashier and the service people .
And all the restaurant is in the side road and back alley ...just behind the restaurant used to be my grandparents house ...which was sold ,demolished and reconstructed . Tables are lined from wall to wall . If only this had happened earlier ...they could have bought or occupied our plot and made it an open space restaurant according to Sop s
The clients of this restaurant are mostly office and shop assistant they come in groups mostly ...and are too hungry at lunch time to care about the ambience or decor or even where they are sitting ...all that they want is how quickly were they served . Even though it is not an ideal condition for dine-in of a non classy restaurant but this happens in big cities with crowded markets at lunch time in office hours .
Even without the Covid-19 Corona Pandemic Culture there are many small restaurants and food shops in busy market places that serve meals on make shift tables on the street , kerb and back alley .
Anyways , it maybe okay for now but what will happen when the heat wave starts ?
God forbid !
So anyways ...on my way back home I remembered and prayed 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 coming home we had lunch ...and the Facebook Meetup . It is amazing this Happy Valentine's Sunday we have no new Covid-19 Corona Pandemic Patient ...reported from overseas or out of town . With the start of Rajab ...few neighbors are planning the Qawwali jam sessions . The biryani police is in a jam to allow public gathering on the street or not .
Anyways after the Facebook Meetup and lunch , I prayed the Fajr 😭 qaza and the Zuhr 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!

4:21 pm Break ( 2215 words)
5:30 pm I fell asleep 😴 and it feels like I have been sleeping long ...but it was for just a few minutes . Suddenly it feels like everybody in the neighborhood is awake 😒
The kids across the wall are playing volleyball ball with a bat . They are constantly coming to fetch their ball ...
Okay then I must get up ...the Nihari , Paya , Naan laziness is almost over gone ... breathing is normal . Sweating is over too ..forehead is dry . I killed two joined mosquitoes singing and dancing near my ears .... celebrating Happy Valentine's day ...I am not sure whose blood is on my fingers theirs or mine ?
🧐😷
Okay then that is it .....much Ado about nothing .....
Time for two more prayers
Asr and Maghrib 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!

This week in the movies I heard the same quote twice
" You can't blend in when you were born to standout "
By R.J palacio an American author in the movie Wonder .
So that explains a lot ...lol !
🤗
There was a very strange earthquake reported by our media ...in the north west of the country ...no damage reported ...not sure what it was about .
Another news that I did not understand was about the former oil minister Dr Asim Hussain he has a multiple NRO
And it is the middle of the month so the Ogre👹 would be up again tonight sending the summery to the Prime Minister . For petrol price hike ...
Okay ...so the final half hour ...I believe I have made it to the target three thousand words mark for this my the Sunday Blog № 254 ( Two Hundred and fifty four ) ..
So this holy month of Rajab has brought many blessings for me and my dear siblings and hopefully for our city as well .
I do hope and Pray 🙏 that our sins are forgiven and we have the prosperity desired for us . Amen 🙏
Okay so I did not choose a song video for closing time ...
I thought I have shared a song video ...from the Sufiscore
isn't it bad luck to share two YouTube song video in the same blog ...no ..okay then since I watched two movies of the imperial highness Ms Julia Roberts .this week..then I must pick a favorite song from one of her movies not particularly from the ones watched this week . The search would take some time ...so I better take a break now . Or better still ...
I should end this my the Sunday Blog № 254 ( Two Hundred and fifty four) right now before the midnight 11:53 pm
Have a great week ...
All the best 😍
God Bless America 🙏
Allah Hafiz !
The Way You Look Tonight
Song by Frank Sinatra
Some day, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows Tearin' my fear apart And that laugh wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, don't you ever change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you A just the way you look tonight
