And this is my the Sunday Blog № 308 ( Three Hundred and Eight )

Yes it is the Sunday

The 25th of Rajab 1443H

Till the Sunset ( 6:33 pm ; Karachi )

Moon: 19.6%

So as you can see the weather has changed a lot . Instead of my room being warmer than the outside temperature it is now hotter than the outside temperature according to Google . At least during the night till the Sunrise ( 6:57 am ; Karachi ) or an hour or so later . Well actually I go back to sleep after fajr prayer and wake up at 10 am or at least try to sleep till 10 am . Have to be up because the garbage disposal comes anytime after ten ....

During winters I had no option but to have breakfast regularly everyday ..but now there is hardly any need ...as I am usually overfed at night ...plus the junk food that I eat during the night ....and then the fears that soon there will be brunch or heavy lunch . Spoils my appetite and I keep refilling the tea cups while watching the mornings details .

Still not able to get back to the television properly I started the noon walk in winter it was quite good for most of my systems and was also very helpful as I was able to buy lunch takeaway and other stuff from the market that cannot be bought or ordered online .

For example the incense sticks or Agarbati I needed was not available on pandamart or airlift ....it is available on daraz at less but after delivery fee it costs more and you never know how long will it take to deliver and in what condition .

So anyways ....it has been a fun month or two of sunny walks and shopping old school . Now the noon temperature has reached 30°C sometimes even more . Bringing hot and spicy lunch and eating it while you are sweating after walk and almost sunburned is not politically correct either apart from being absolutely insane .

The best time now to go out for food takeaway and essential shopping is after the sunset . There is no need to wear the warm clothes sweaters or jackets anymore as the temperature is usually above 20°C .

And due to traffic jams in the city and downtown because of different rallies and sit-ins ...the traffic in and around the neighborhood and nearest market is slow ...well managed . Making it easier to walk on the street or get a ride.

Okay I am getting very sleepy the mobile could fall from my hand any moment so

It's time to go and put the mobile back for charging .

5:59 am okay I am up for Fajr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

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!

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

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!

پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

آمین!

6:03 am Break !

Sun 25th Rajab 1443H 26°C 10:01 am woken up to a very quiet neighborhood ....only the birds ... pigeons are humming ...and ducks ... And Now the transformer blast waking up the sleepy crows ...no shutdown yet All week the neighborhood has sounded like a polish dockyard

Wordle 253 4/6*

⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩

🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩

⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Fall asleep doing the daily Wordle 253

Got three green letters ...and there were so many not making sense ...woke up chatted and then did it ...

Bones and muscles are stiff and chilly ..need to go for a sunny walk ...no plans for the Sunday Brunch yet ...will probably eat the leftover ....or make a quick sandwich .

It's the PSL final day ...Multan and lahore are in the house ...let's see who goes home . Multan has been on the top of the charts ...only beaten once by chance ....today we will know for sure .

Okay the Sunny walk is cancelled ....there is a Wind blowing outside ... Google says it's 26 k/ h from Northeast ...they call it moderate .

The temperature outside is still lower a degree or two than my room temperature ....This rapid and perpetual change in the weather is not helping my depression at all . I need constants and firms in my life if I want to survive ....the only change that could do some good is probably the rain ...it might not rain here at all this year so I will have to go somewhere were it rains regularly . And see if it stops there as well .

The United States Diplomatic Corp in pakistan is under extreme Martials Law . Their Social media accounts are only endorsing the retweets from Washington .

Tweet link

And it's the same for Karachi and delhi accounts as well .

Okay I have put two eggs to boil and also tea pot to make fresh tea .....the wind seems to have stopped ..so now I can go out .

Anyways not decided yet ....but I have to pause here and go check the eggs and tea boiling ...

12:35 pm Had the boiled egg and tea ...walking ...did not sit at the table or take the photos .

So you will have to take my Wordle for it ...

Still very sleepy .... can't think or remember anything to blog about at the moment ...really don't feel like endorsing the retweets from dumb journals and their made up politicians .

So here I take a break for Zuhr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

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!

آمین!

12:51 pm Break !

2:12 pm Amazing as soon as i finished the prayers and folded the prayer mat , I hear a sound at the gate ...and soon there was a knock on my door there was sister send food and invitation .

To engineer saabs wedding ceremony .

Congratulations .

So without wasting any time I microwaved the Chicken 🐔 Biryani and eat it ...

Never in my wildest dreams I had thought of getting to eat food of a happy occasion this year

The dear merciful lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

acts in mysterious ways...

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

As they say ....

When it rains ....it pours

So while I was posting the food pictures ...again I heard sounds at the gate ...

More Sweets ..... delayed delivery from 6th Rajab .....system error

Overeaten , overfed , extra cared and over protected ...do you really think I would care a bit if ukraine is in Europe or Russia ?

3:17 pm Break !

4:40 pm made a very quick round to the nearest market .... brought the eggs and bread 🍞 and also some regular diabetes medicines for my dear elder sister

Came back quickly ...and sweating ...the sun out there is too hot ...the wind has completely stopped . There was a sewage overflow at a corner ...but I managed to tiptoe my way in and out ...easily .

This is the last Sunday before Lent and Ash Wednesday .

Okay nevermind .....

The Asr azan have started all Over the jamshed town ...

I will pray very shortly ...with recital

Right now I close my eyes and relax .

5:46 pm okay it's time to get up and pray and recite

Asr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

Honestly i was in the other room checking out the tweets and memes of mr putin

When suddenly I began to hear whispers from the window .....coming from about twenty feet away ... remember I used to say this house is too small for me .....and today is a glaring example of it ....the neighborhood is dead Silent once again and you can hear sounds of far and away ... I thought it was because of me Putin Nuclear alert ....no no no ..

The Lahore disgraced the game so they are practically digging me from the grave to do something crazy unexplained stuff .

Anyways ...

Ops ...one more wicket gone ...run dropped ..I think it's all over for Lahore ...

And to think about all the fuss and racket the neighbors did all this week ...to make me feel like I was in a polish dockyard

Lah 180/5 ( 20)

Okay the Lahore score seems okay ..now don't you think ....let's see what happens after I pray isha 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

So this week was again very sad and depressing . I fasted on the first day of the week which was a Valentine's day Monday . The sad thing was that I was so distracted that I don't think I was able to concentrate and pray honestly ....for rain

Like the previous fast ...

Okay wait forget about me ...everything the dear all Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 does is for the better ...that is our belief ...

I fall asleep at midnight today ...and thought I missed a lot ...but can you believe ....I was just in time for the big fight at manchester .....

Amir khan vs kell brook Live on gnn

I haven't watched a live boxing event for ages ....remember the good old days of the only champion of the world .... Mohammed Ali .....ahh I miss those days a lot ....

Mere bachpan kay din ...

Mere bachpan k din

Kitne ache the din

Aaj bathe bethaye kyun yaad aa gaye

Mere bichroon ko muj se mila de koi

Mera bachpan kisi mool la de koi

Kitni belous thi apni woh dosti

Kitni masoom thi woh hansi woh khushi

Jhumte gate hanste hansate

Ek dujhe pe jaan lutate

Kaash phir woh zamane

Woh zamane dekha de koi

Mera bachpan kisi mool la de koi

Oh No ! Kell Brook was not hugging eid ...

Amir technical knock out ....???

Kell looked stronger ...look at his smile ...you can't beat that ....I am surprised ...amir brought him to the sixth round just hugging ...

Kell Brook batters Amir Khan into 6th-round stoppage

What a sad depressing end to a very sad and depressing week ...nothing more left. To blog about anymore ....should have just keep sleeping tonight ....

By the way the only good thing that came out this week was a clarification tweet by the US Em bassy Islamabad karachi about the iranian Nuclear deal . No wonder I am having so many Nuclear Power Shut Downs and maintenance shutoffs .

Tweet link

But I am too depressed to care about it at all .

I am very very sorry as I am not able to see anything invigorating in rhea chakraborty dancing and flashing at Farhan Akhtar marries Shibani Dandekar

Major event of the Valentine's week in khandala despite KFC and Burkha boycott by iSi . And Raw claiming victories in Dubai and London despite strong winds against .

The Crimea troops movement worsened the situation on US-Canada border

Honking intensified for the sleepy head nation . Forced Bill Gates to head to Pakistan.

Malawi declared new polio cases

Saudi Prince relaxed Covid-19 restrictions for the Holy Month of Rajab . Millions prayed for Billions which increased the petrol prices world wide but Pakistan only increased minimal. Not helping at all with Air pollution and traffic jams .

Astronomical Twilight 4:46 am

The Fajr Azan's have started so it's time for Namaz and Breakfast No fast today .

So it's time for the Fajr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

5:58 am Break !

7:07 am After prayer I made tea ...but did not feel like eating so skipped the breakfast ....

The weather is okay right now ...about 19°C . Kids turned off the Water geezer . I am really surprised that despite the gas pressure it did not turned off on its own

7:11 am A blast sound and birds sound ...it was probably the PMT ( Electric Transformer ) ...No internet Connection ...back to data . ..No light ....soon the neighborhood electric generators will start pollution . It seems like builder mafia is punishing the neighbors . And I have absolutely no idea how to save them from their own family and sponsors .

Okay time to sleep to save energy , charging and Telenor data .

7:30 am Break !

Sun 18th Rajab 1443H

25°C

9:47 am fall asleep when PMT turned off with a blast .woke up after nine everything seems to be working ..everybody was so fast asleep nobody turned on generator

Got up saw a neighbor feeding eagles and 🐕 on street somebody parked a jeep on his gate

------

I thought he was teaching me to do the same for the car being parked in our front especially with the one that has very sensitive touch alarm ...

Anyways I survived the urge ... honestly I am very fond of cars I can't hurt them even if they are used against me . I can hate the people I cannot hate cars .

It is burning hot in the sun but inside my throat started itching so I put on the sweater again ...I took it off at fajr ...while sleeping I must have kicked the heavy quilt away on the other side of the bed and then pulled the lighter one on my side because it was on my side ....when I woke up ...checked the water geezer it turned on easily ..me and the kids may not need it but elder siblings still need it ... especially for Fajr and isha wazu ...

You won't believe this I was so worried how in the world am I going to handle the plumbing and the plumber after the Recently Departed ( May his Soul Rest in Peace in Jannah Amen 🙏)

But both siblings took care of it ...infact yesterday when he was working in the kitchen and I needed to go to the market ..I offered to stay and go later ...but they insisted that I should go ....I went to the market and came back very quickly from just one store .

And when I returned from the market ...kitchen tap was fixed .. toilet was checked ...and the plumber had moved to the other task for which he was called .

Okay panda rider has picked my breakfast ..and he is on the way ....so I better get ready ....I have ordered beef paya naan from Javed Nihari sharfabad . ..

Oh no...okay nevermind ...

Be back .... hopefully ....

12:20 pm Awesome !

Rs 500/-

Last night I ordered Beef Steak and chicken 🐔 corn soup ...for dinner during the Lahore team game ...so first we had A Nuclear Power Shut Down ...

Thank God the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

I had both the charging and Telenor Data .

Still I turned off and waited ...and turned on after the estimated delivery time ...she was round the corner ...Yes the rider was a SHE ...in the dark at Eight . I got to the gate before her ..because parosan was trying to wrong park her car and blocking her way ...I signalled to her with the handy emergency light ....she came got off her scotee and very confidently handed me my order . I paid her cash and came back . And enjoyed the hot and juicy pepper steak . Also saved some portion to see how it feels to eat when there is light

Lol 😆😂

I am trying not to over eat before lent fasting ten days away this is not a leap year ...is it ?

So I am discouraging home cooking ...we share the single serving and also save some for the next meal ...

The menu will definitely change very soon ...due to hot and humid weather from next week ....my intention is to fast with sehri and very simple Iftari no dinner ...let's see what happens .

Okay Water board workers just filled up the dug outs in the back ally ...and asked for chai pani .....

They teamed up with plumber and had very busy week here ...

Unwillingly they brought water to us ..

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

1:05 pm Nuclear Power Shut Down ...

Charging finished ...

Azans going on and One generator started with the sound to two...

Back to Telenor Data .

Time for Zuhr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

1:11 pm Break !

4:20 pm After that heavy Sunday Brunch and lots of tea and Carrots . I skipped lunch . And tried to not fall asleep ...tried not to watch the king's playing with The Raj ...

Honestly I hate drinking the carrot juice ...but I love eating The carrots in singles or multiples ....clean or neat ...

Full , half , cut , sliced , chopped , minced , crushed ...etc etc .

I love to eat carrots until it hurts my teeth and gums .

A little cough ..a little irritating throat ...

A little restlessness ...a little chill in the shoulder ..

Weather changes ...and Asr Azans begins ...

Time to get up and clear the throat ...and do the wazu ...and have a cup of tea ....with or without a snack ....or just pray Asr 🛐 prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah

please forgive my dear loving and caring brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah

Amen !

اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، پاپا

Sun 19th Rajab 1443H

25°C/ 24°C Haze

7:54 pm So as expected the Quetta failed and won with a slight edge of a chance to get back into tournament ...people love it ...

Great minds must be calculating the run rate and scores required for the islamabad to lose from Multan in the ongoing game ...

The next breaking news is that

The Queen tests positive for Covid

It's like a curfew on our street ...very silent ...people are not moving around or getting out of the houses unless it's very necessary ...

People on Data net are more relaxed the people on WiFi .

The real PCB and it's Chairman something Raja has lost his privileged status with the prime minister khan and the nation after being accused of a banking fraud . Pakistani know that fATF will not ignore this kind of behavior with a foreign player . And who know what james faulkner will tell his fellow county folks , the ACB and the government of New Zealand .

Okay time is running out for doing ( finishing today's Wordle 246 so I better hurry up ...

Yes I did it

11:02 pm

It's midnight .....time to end this my the Sunday Blog № 307 ( Three Hundred and Seven ) .

I may be Sad and I may be depressed and I may be broken inside out ....but nothing stops me from praying for Rain ...so how can I ignore and forget my dearest youngest sister ...who has been so strong through thin ...and made the right choices all her life ....choices that made us proud . The dearly departed the Recently Departed .

But this time once again She is at the Crossroads . This time the choice she has made is by far one of the most important and most difficult .

So no matter what the future holds ...I stand by her and Pray .....That the Dear Merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 help her Guide her and give her health and happiness .

And if my lent fasting and praying is rewarded with Rain ...my Rain do not come in her way or disturb her plans .

Amen 🙏
