So Today is the last Sunday before Good Friday and Easter . The Lent may continue for a week more but for me it's the last Day of the Perpetual Forty Days of Fasting in lent for me . Honestly it was really very great . The weather here in Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world ,
in late February and early March is neither winter nor Summer ...not really sure about the spring and fall . It is something very different and idiosyncratic ...i am definitely not sure if I can use that term here ...but thanks to "The Bitch " no matter what I wrote ...I am not getting an invite to the KLF ...Ever !
So ...never mind not ...what I am trying to say is that In this God forsaken City ...This was the Best Season of the year for fasting ....in two or three years The holy month of Ramzan will be on top of this season ....and only then most of the fasting majority of this city will know for sure why I said that .
Instead of losing weight ..I gain huge .. can't look at myself in a full size mirror or a cars tinted windows...I see an Ogre instead of me ...I really don't think people who look at me regularly are all shallow halic ...as nobody says anything to me anymore ...maybe they are too depressed or just simply afraid that I may increase the duration of fast .
During the past Six weeks of lent ..very little effort was done my me in preparing my starting fast and breaking fast meals ....sehri and Iftari ...the credit mostly goes to foodpanda 🐼
And very rarely did I order it myself ...
 |
I am sure you must have heard it a thousand or million times that ...if you want to feel young and lively ...make friends with younger people specially kids ... Italians in their seventies and eighties marry very young girls almost in their teens ...of course they die younger then they should ...not particularly feeling younger ...
I have been blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
All my life to live with older than me ....I was never ever able to feel old ...their younger friends never let me feel even my own age ...or shoe size .
So my dear Mr Kim ...the promised river there was none ....and with the lent forty for the Lord are done ...you have only a fortnight to try and lose weight before the Holy Thirty All you can Eat Ramzan deals begins .
AND now the Big Question ?
After Forty Days of True and Honest perpetual fasting and soul searching ...Did I ?
Well ...I don't think we need a third umpire or a fifth finger ...The Jam in The Suez Canal says it best ! 
Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
The Prime Minister and his undercover are still alive after a week of partial quarantine .
But Pakistan Television lost its first female Host kanwal Naseer and a very popular play write Haseena Moin.
The saddest thing is that the later received the Covid-19 Corona Pandemic Vaccination just hours before her death in a celebrity especial Arts Council center despite being a Cancer patient of established standing and culture .
Once again let me remind you that no matter how many state of the art hospitals the SKMT establish with your generosity , Cancer is , was and shall remain a curse , a deadly and without cure .
So she got vaccined , talked to the media ...felt good and thankful to the Freak show PPP 's govt. And few hours later she just died . Allah Maghfirat karey !
Now as the details and expert opinions pour in ....my suspicions are growing ....
Khan or his undercover may have Cancer . People who are certain should not take that Vaccine . People beyond the age of Eighty have the right to live each and every single day of their life. Maryam has been in a mourning mood ever since Khan and his undercover went into Quarantine .
The Freak Show went into a very Sarcastic mood ...they finally realized the one true meaning of the Word ...term used by the PMLN ....Selected .
The price of eggs was not just enough evidence ...
The NRO rhetoric was a good clue .
The Army Chief in a catch 22 .
Anyways , politics and journalism have never been my favourite subjects
Since the kindergarten.
By the way , the other two prime ministers of the kingdom ...have been keeping a very low profile since being tested positive ...and I believe there is no hope of a reelection anytime soon .
When Harry was exiled I thought maybe he can win the popular vote in the next Canadian election ...and become the next prime minister of the Islamic republic of Canada . But now he is more controversial than popular as bad politician. So maybe the new us administration could be focused on a Native person and already a member of parliament .
Mercy ! 
Okay it's time for my last Sehri Break today .
And I am still undecided . So egg it is .... omelette must be okay ....I better hurry up ...
Be back in about an hour's time .
4:00 am Break ( 944 words)
4:53 am Done ! 
Brushed
Last sip of chilled water
5:09 am Niyat prayer 🤲
وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتَ مِنْ شَهْرِ شعبان
Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri Shaban
I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Shaban
Dear Merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
I am keeping this fast just for you . So be pleased with me ...forgive and forget my Sins . Bless my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may their souls rest in peace in jannah .And if for any unforeseen reason they think of me and look down upon me from Heaven , make sure they get to see me fair seeming no matter how I may be .
Amen 🙏
پیارے مہربان رب العزت اللہ آمین 🙏
میں یہ روزہ صرف آپ کے لئے رکھ رہا ہوں۔ تو مجھ سے راضی رہو ... معاف کرو اور میرے گناہوں کو بھول جاؤ۔ میرے پیارے والد پاپا اور امی کو برکت دیں اور جنت میں ان کی روحیں سکون حاصل کریں ۔اور اگر کسی غیر متوقع وجوہ کی بنا پر وہ مجھ سے متعلق سوچتے ہیں اور جنت سے مجھ پر نگاہ ڈالتے ہیں تو اس بات کو یقینی بنائیں کہ مجھے اس سے قطع نظر میں کیسا ہوں
مجھے مجھ سے بہتر ظاہر ہونا چاہئے
آمین 🙏
Be kind and gentle to my dear siblings ....and give them Deliverance from Water and gutter Woes
Amen 🙏
میرے پیارے بہن بھائیوں کے ساتھ نرمی برتاؤ کریں .... اور انہیں پانی اور گٹر کی پریشانی سے نجات دلائیں
آمین 🙏
Time for the fajr Prayer 🛐 with a prayer for my Dearly Departed Parents Papa and Ammi

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!

12:21 pm Good Morning !
The 40th Fast in Lent
Woke up a little before noon
It is a very Quiet and Peaceful Sunday Morning ...
The street vendors are up early . The news ticker says there has been a city wide electric power breakdown
Not here ..
1:29 pm should have fallen asleep 😴 ...I made a huge mistake ...been blogging for almost an hour offline ....and the moment I realized ....I panicked and instead of plugging in the charger ...I tried to save my write up ...and failed ..used to feel so bad when that happened in the past ....but that is the beauty of time and experience ....you learn to handle situations and recover psychologically and emotionally .
So , this is certain that after the sudden shutdown nothing can be retrieved from that is gone for good but is my memory serves me right ...I can do it better ....
I stated by saying that ...I may be up but I feel very sleepy like there is an hours sleep more in me ...but if I fall asleep I may not be able to wake up for two three hours at least ....the little commotion by the street vendors getting up a little early today is now absolutely gone ... everything is back to extremely Quiet and Peaceful Sunday afternoon.
I was asking myself what is the plan for the next fifteen days before the Holy month of Ramzan begins . And then I went on saying that there is very little chance of me going to mosque 🕌 in Ramzan for the regular prayers 🛐 and I was even thinking of giving up the once a week Juma Mubarak prayers as well . Since now I have the experience and precedent of not going at all for months ...so it should not be a trouble with any psychological issues of guilt or remorse . And since I may not be going to the mosque 🕌 in the holy month of Ramzan ....chances are that I won't be facing the beggars . 
No Eid Shopping as well because I don't need anything at all . Last year on Eid day I got ready and went to graveyard and since there was a fifty years age limit for entery I choice not to try my luck or disobey the government directives ....So after my Salaam and fateha at the graveyard ..I keep wandering up and down the town ...waiting for the sweets shop to open for the reheated oil dripping Eid treat of hot and spicy fried snacks of kachori ...so this time if I am up on the Eid day till fajr 🛐 ...I will definitely go to the graveyard for salaam and offer fateha 🌹
And come home before the beggers get up . And order the kachori from foodpanda 🐼 . Or if possible I may order them in the evening after the moon controversy is over at Chand raat .
It's a shame that last year's Chand raat became so ugly for MMM and I got to learn about it after days . Or maybe it was all fake news ...you never know 😛
The builder mafia was totally panicked what to expect ...mass transit or complete travel ban . They played very cautiously ...people abroad were somehow convinced that there is no hope and future for their children back home . So they stayed where ever they were especially the ones with their private businesses who could have easily wind-up and returned .
And Malik's chartered plane showed the way ...and broke the barriers worldwide .
Okay it's three in the afternoon ...and the phone line is disconnected ....so I am sure .....lol !
My mobile just had a spam call from 6224 number ...I immediately plugged it in the charger ...the old mobile can't take a full ring ...anyways I need to relax my eyes ....
Can't recite today ....and luckily I am way ahead of the schedule ...on the fourteenth para did the third sajda last night ....I will finish it by Easter Sunday or a day later ...but today I am only trying to do this my the Sunday Blog № 260 ( Two Hundred and Sixty ) . Last week I raised the bar and increased the target from three thousand words to a thousand more . So far I have reached the two thousand words mark ....three thousand words mark would be a piece of cake for me today ...can do it even before the Iftari ...but I am not sure about the after Iftari scene ...and talking of the scene whatever happened to the Oscars this year ....is there any chance of the pomp and show and glamour or will there only be the Priyanka Chopra all the way ...
Okay I hear some sounds from outside ...so I think we have a Chaapa ..not sure who it is ....it's Sunday but it's too late ...it can't be the Doctor Saab ...
Let me check ....must be the nephew ...he is early today ...will probably leave before Iftari ....so anyways ..
Ya it is he ...
Doctor Saab is still feeling nauseous and depressed after second dose of the Covid-19 Corona Pandemic Vaccine ...so what can I send for him that he can eat and cheer up ...
I can't think of anything ....any suggestions ?
Okay so here I take a break for 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!
3:40 pm Break ( 2264 Words)
4:36 pm Before puting down my mobile I checked the Twitter for any thing good bad or evil ...pope twitter instead of showing the way is taking us back into the woods
...other religions leaders are just messed up .
Church of England wants a totally locked down Lahore for Holi
And Germany in Pakistan was in Karachi ...he sneeked out for breakfast stopped at a roadside tea stall ...the Khana kharab pathan ka bacha thought him to be the gora gringo ...gave him the hot chapati on a German yellow book ..he tweeted this ...
Zara Lent Khatam ho jaay phir khabar leyta Hoon inn ki
Kids outside are having so much fun trying to fix the landline phone devices ...too many are out of order ...no wonder it is so Peaceful and Quiet today on the last Sunday before Easter 🐇
I gave an idea that if it's just about the broken down device and the landline is ok then use the call divert option . It got rejected out right ...know why ?
Because the concept of a living room landline phone is totally malafide and corrupt .
Both incoming and out going only use the landline when they want to make me hear something to distract or disturb ....
These days I really don't care ...unless somebody tries to wake me up from sleep or if the movie I am watching is at climax or turning ...and that only happens when I am watching the movie on cable ...because our Cable does not have the pause and rewind . Otherwise when I am watching the most vie on the mobile already downloaded or online ...I have no problem in pause and break .
Just like a few moments ago I heard excited voices outside the door and I paused and checked .
Chaapa is over ...his ride came and he rushed away ...our cooking mafia was just getting warm ...she chased him with a half cooked something ....but Zoom ...she missed him ...protesting ....somebody must be waiting for him somewhere or maybe he was not allowed to take anything for Doctor Saab ...
Anyways who cares
Definitely not me ...I am in a very thankful humble mood ...right now ...I really don't care what the world is doing ...all I care about right now is that I have finished the forty days of fasting in lent ....and I do sincerely hope that the Dear Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 is pleased with me and I may have not offended any religion faith or gang .
The Last and final Hour of the fortieth fast in lent .
Yay 🎉 I did it ....next year if God the merciful All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 gave me strength and courage and resources ...I will go for the impossible and to have a uniform diet same meals day in and day out ....for forty days meals to start the fast ( Sehri ) and Break fast ( Iftari ) .
Wouldn't that be so cool
O children of Israel ...if only you had not asked for something so ordinary in place of something better ...there may be no Us today .
Okay it's 6 pm ...got to go ....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!

7:45 pm Good Evening !
Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
The forty days of fasting in lent comes to an end ....
9:07 pm So I was right today I did it ...the target was reached before the Iftari ...and now I have three hours to add about a thousand more words to this my the Sunday Blog № 260 ( Two Hundred and Sixty )
For forty days of lent ...I did not miss a single prayer .🛐
I did not miss a single fajr 🛐 prayer ...because I was up all night waiting for the sehri time ...and prayed soon after Sehri meal . No chance of missing similarly I did not miss a single Zuhr prayer .... although due to the lack of water I tried to delay the Zuhr prayer so that I can pray recite and then pray again the Asr prayer with doing one wuzu that way there was no chance at all of missing both Zuhr and Asr prayers and then you know that the Maghrib was just after the Iftari breakfast ...so you can't miss it ... praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
Just now as I wrote the Iftari breakfast ...it reminds me of a crazy Twitter follower ...everyday I do the first tweet of the day after waking up as a morning Mood tweet ...so I begin it with Good morning because it is a morning Mood tweet even though getting up at noon, clearing the eyes , nose and head ...having bath and praying and reciting and prayer 🛐... time flies and when I get to do the first tweet it's hi tea time ....not morning at all .... similarly no restaurant in the world or a roadside dhaba in Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world ,
Will serve me breakfast at sunset and yet that is exactly the breakfast time ....because you can't even have water at the time when the whole world takes their first meal of the day .
No I don't want anybody to see the error of their ways ..I simply ignore that kid Twitter follower ...just like I ignore what everybody says or think about me ....I changed my lifestyle and I am okay with it .
9:58 pm Fall asleep 😴 for more than half hour ...woke up for water ...saw something cooking ...in the cooker without the cook ...
Rushed to save it ...glad to make it in time . First removed the cooker from the stove then opened it and saw the mutton chops and potatoes very well done ...informed the cooking mafia ....that I have saved your aloo gosht from burning ...she was busy watching the YouTube videos or Daraz ...something like that ...the Daraz bored her this week ..she order a magic mug and cooking chocolate ...so while she was waiting for the mug ...the dex courier came after a long wait and said ...I have been mugged !
Wow what a funny joke 😂
And handed the cooking chocolate ...the mug guy came two days after it left the warehouse ...and the buntees never arrived by now in this heat ..ab Tak toh bun alag aur tees alag ho chuki hogi. We tried to cancel the order but because of her order vs cancelled ratio , I believe she has lost the cancellation option altogether ...I don't want to think what must be going on with it ....it was a very bad mistake to order chocolates from Daraz ...and she regrets it so much that as soon as she receives it she has promised to delete the Daraz app from her mobile phone ...let's see if she stand by it . But as far as the app is concerned if they can't deliver it in time and the product is a food item ... perishable then it should not be allowed on the app . The other day our packet of milk arrived from KpK ...after a week or travel all over the country in these times of Corona lockdown and SoPs ...is somebody monitoring these online shopping Apps or not .
So anyways , I had dinner very peacefully and finally enjoyed the Aloo Gosht that I have been hearing about for so long ... because of the missing ingredients especially the potatoes .
Sometimes a man's hard work and determination is just not enough ...you need to have luck and blessing of the merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
Last hour !
The Corona Pandemic update ...Nobody in the family or relatives were reported to have died of the Pandemic ...many have had been vaccined world wide and are complaining of nausea , weakness and taste buds failure .
So now we are in a race with the US military ...that has had two dozens dead . And 95% recovered .
Today the land grabbers of Gadap town of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world, invited my dearly departed Papa ( may his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏) for lunch meeting ...I received the invite ....I hope they know what they are doing ....I do sincerely pray for the future of their children ....
😄
Naa just kidding !
Very little time left for the movies of the week ...
- A Husband, a Wife and a Lover (1996)
- Sheffey (1977)
- 22 Jump Street (2014)
- No Other Love ( 1979)
- The Cleansing Hour (2019)
- A Matter of Faith (2014)
- Remembrance of Love (1982)

The movies this week were mostly Christian movies ...I watched them just to tease the Devil 😈 and I honestly believe that I was 200 percent successful .
So what's the update on the Suez Canal ... can't the Chinese make a parallel canal for the time being ...😂
Okay believe it or not I have reached the four thousand words target so long before the last minute at midnight and the the song lyrics is yet to come ...so I better start searching for the song lyrics and finish this my the Sunday Blog № 260 ( Two Hundred and Sixty ) before the clock strikes midnight .
I don't believe there is anything left to add here this week had a really great time today . Hope to have much more fun next week on the Easter Sunday .
Stay safe ...try not to watch my food pictures
All the best
God Bless America 🙏
Allah Hafiz !

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me
Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh, oh
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh, oh
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight
