And this is my the Sunday Blog № 276 ( Two Hundred and Seventy Six ) ,
First Thanks to All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 ,
Pakistan Cricket team won their first T20 match against England . Not even not this they also scored their highest total against England 232/6 ....the boundaries and sixers were coming like hot dogs ....it was really something . The English A team looked la miserable German C team throughout the game .
Coming back to reality ...
It is extremely Sad that the great expectations of Heavy Rain and Urban flooding in Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world,
Did not happen . All we have all week was isolated Thunderstorm ....and few minutes of showers . The poor people of this God forsaken megapolis gladly tolerated all the burning and sizzling by the Sun , just in hope for a good monsoon thrashing . But no that never came . Still K electric played safe and saved lives and chattels by shutting down feeders ...luckily ours was working normal but our Cable and Net were affected . I posted my morning mood tweet and status updates and food images on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by Artificial means ...
And learned about the death of Former President of Pakistan Mr Mamnoon Hussain Saab , Allah Maghfirat farmaay aur unn Kay darjaat bulaand farmaay Aameen 🤲 ,
From the Condolences instead of the breaking News .
I also learned about the deaths of three character actresses very familiar faces on PTV and Colors . Naila Jaffery, Sultana Zafar and surekha sikri .
No body was reported dead in the family especially the maternal family . No aftershocks of the wedding last Sunday were felt I mean nobody called to talk about it asked why we were not there , maybe because uncle and Aunt from Seattle were not represented by anyone for unknown reason so all those present must be thinking about themselves and trying to erase their attendence let alone worrying about us .
By the way , Covid-19 Corona Pandemic lockdown restrictions were reenforced ...on marriage halls and restaurant dine in , cinema ,parks , beaches and other recreational facilities and schools accidentally left open were shut down ...only exams continue . Farm animals for sacrifice are allowed on the streets this time but selling their feed openly on street corners is not allowed . So far there has not been any directive regarding the street slaughter . But the increased area police petroling is very suggestive .
Since the change of guards this year ...our neighborhood crime scene sorry Qurbani scene has changed drastically . Today is the last Sunday so by the end of this my the Sunday Blog # 276 ( Two Hundred and Seventy Six ) we will have the full head count . The makeshift maveshi Mandi ( farmers market) will be wrapped up early this year ...just like last year ...not because of fear of rain or thunderstorm the met office cleared the chances of rain or thunderstorm for this week , but because of extremely unbearable heat and increased petrol and logistics prices .
The followers of Abraham , ismaelis and the black minorities are avoiding Beef this year . Not really sure why ...maybe they know something that I missed praying , wishing and hoping for Water .
Oh by the way , the local builders mafia finally allowed the water supply through the water tanker ...And shutdown the Alternate artificial means .
But from the very next day the sound of the demolition hammer gun started ...🤔
Okay it's Sehri time already ...
Yes i have been fasting all week since last Sunday and today will the eighth fast of Zilhij and if by the will of God , the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏, I survived the Pandemic , epidemic and the cow dung stinks , I will fast till the day before Eid which is on Wednesday so I sure hope to fast till Tuesday and sleep on Wednesday 😴 .
3:24 am Sehri Break !
4:14 am Sehri Done
Brush done
Last sip of chilled water
Astronomical twilight 4:26 am
Dear Merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
Save me from the Azab of this world and the hereafter .
Accept the sacrifice of my Siblings Brothers and Sisters.
Be pleased with them
And reward them
Accept the Sacrifice of my parents they did when they were alive . Be very pleased with them and reward them in jannah . Amen 🙏
wah akhiro dawana anilhamdullah hi rab al-alamin
And our last prayer, all praises is due to Allah who is the Lord of the worlds.
Time for the fajr 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!
اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، پاپا
اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔ آمین!
5:06 am Today because of the cow dung stinks , I believed that this my the Sunday Blog № 276 ( Two Hundred and Seventy Six ) , will be in the Bina Shah style , but somehow back home somebody is only focused on the dung . Constantly pushing to unscrew the bolt ....
Not quite kamila Shamsi ...but who cares ...
Ladies and more ladies ❤️😍
We have the first case of Covid-19 Corona Pandemic Vaccine Overdose ...clap clap 👋👋
⚡️UK Health Sec. Tests Positive for COVID after visiting Care Home, Parliament
Sajid Javid has tested positive for coronavirus... he added "thankfully I have had two jabs and my symptoms are mild... please make sure you come forward for your vaccine."
Javid replaced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock last month. Earlier in the week he visited a London care home, Parliament and a photographer claims he saw Javid leaving 10 Downing Street after a meeting with PM Boris Johnson on Friday.

And from across the Mississippi River ....
3 Texas Democrats who fled elections bill vote get COVID
Three of the Democratic state lawmakers who fled Texas to stymie a Republican-backed effort to impose new voting restrictions have tested positive for COVID-19 in the nation's capital
Kashmir elections:
25th July 2021 Next Sunday !
So is the wining so important ....or is the wining the only thing....that you use all the foreign contacts to bring the cannes film festival under pressure knowing very well that one more incident like these and the elections are done and the poor home minister will be put under house arrest in Lal haveli .
By the way , don't you think 48 hours are just too much to catch a cab driver ...just relax .
I am definitely interested in knowing the outcome of this pot calling the kettle black election Campaign.
Funny isn't it instead of taking your party leaders name to jog the voters memory ....you are constantly reminding them of you know who ...due to the British foreign office travel Red list ...most of the kashmiri voters have already left for Britain ....among the rest most would be taking the first bus out of province from the second day of Eid especially those working in the construction industry in Karachi and Lahore .
By the way , making Kashmir a province would make it absolutely safe . And is the only option available . There is just no logic in keeping it apart , after India did the same and nobody cared. Time has proven that Indian army alone cannot do anything until local insurgents help . Now the question is can and will these British kashmiri turn into local insurgents to aid and abet Indian aggression
Sweet Dreams 😘
Sun 7th Zilhij 1442H

1:56 pm Good Morning !
8th Fast
Weather is cool windy ..sunny ...
No prediction for rain or chance of precipitation ...
Woke up about an hour ago
Had bath and prayed 🛐
Yes the first thing I did today ...was 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!
اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، پاپا
اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔ آمین!
Second T20 is about to start in few hours and the home ministry has not yet caught a cab driver ....
There is this huge confusion regarding the bruised picture of the Afghan diplomat's daughter . The picture posted with the news by Indian or Afghan media looks older then the Afghan diplomat najib alikhel and now somebody has clarified that it is a picture of a tictoc dancer . Gul something ...the social media accounts of the daughter Silsila Ali khel are either deactivated after the incident or she may have them in a different language . My American Google search engine usually don't pick up the account in local language until it gets a subject in that language . And only if that language is included in the language list of the search engine . سلسله علیخیل
Bringing back Taleban into the game once again means a lot of things ...but first and foremost is the fact that international media is going to be breaking news related to them before confirming ....and it will be viral across the globe in just a matter of minutes . And the concerned countries , governments , military and intelligence agencies will have to be on their toes ....it's a nerve wracking game now ....white elephants no matter how experienced will only find a place in the think tanks .

Food coma Alert !

Okay it's passed midnight ....so technically I am in over time ....
No I did not fall asleep 😴 or had a good coma ... instead I watched the t20 match ...which had a complete turn around ....from the previous ...match ...
Scores : eng 200. Pak 155/9
I also watched the regular soap serials ...it was 2nd last of the Mohlat ..last tomorrow
"The AAS Theorem states: If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent."
Zalim Istanbul :
the turkish weekend serial is absolutely crazy with over acting but since I got the story and watched it from the beginning ....I might watch it till the end .
After the soaps and the game ....I 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!

Due to extreme water shortage , isolated Thunderstorm and fasting for Zilhij , the fateha of my dearly departed Papa May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏 ,
Was postponed . I don't know about other siblings , but will offer the fateha 🌹 when I finish the Khatam e Quran for him . Before Muharram inshallah !
So the events of this week proved that Afghans , Chinese and Americans don't like this Cannes Show we have in Islamabad , then how the hell is it going on ....?
Saudi Arabia condoled the death of the PMLN ' s Former President of Pakistan at the highest level .
CPEC will someday become the East India company and will fire all Pakistani workers from their projects
So why wait for that day ?
So I had a Miranda orange and switch on the television to see the live changing of the ghilaf e kaba also known as kiswa ...
