So we are slowly heading towards yet another Blessed Ramzan . The neighborhood and especially the street could never be the same after the sudden passing away of my recently Departed Aslam Bhai , may his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏
Beggers and poor used to come from far and wide to ask for zakat . The neighborhood help and street help used to start reminding of the coming holy month of Ramzan . And then the gate banging starts especially at the very odd times of the day ....morning , afternoon and evening ...the worst used to be before and after the iftari .No body wants to go to the gate and check at those times after a full day of fasting .
Yet you have to because those are also the times for family and friends Chaapa and treats .
The Recently Departed Aslam Bhai may his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏
Was very social he used to greet and respond to every familiar face he meet on the street , in the market and at the mosque . He listened to everybody ...and sometime was totally upset and depressed even angered after hearing some of the most illogical fairytales and made up plagiarized fables .
After passing away of our dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi ...May their souls rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏,
I used to be his main hears on whom he dumped all those fairytales and fables . And I used to blow them away like a British opposition politician ...
Unfortunately most of the times I got to hear 🙉 those stories later after his coming home so most of the times he had already shown compassion and his hand reached for the pocket .
Instead of feeling embarrassed for believing , there used to be a glow in his eyes .
One of his most favorite words after the fiercest of Arguments ....was
" Wasiq Sahi Keh Raha tha..."
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 !
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!
Top of the Hour ...
Pause for Water Pump !
Wordle 281 2/6*
🟨⬜🟨⬜🟨
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
It would be fun reading and watching the tweets of so many people Wordle fans who would not be able to to do it .
A Wordle without a vowel ...I got lucky because of money . Ain't that something...?
Tonight I fall asleep after iftari ...so I haven't prayed isha yet ..also skipped supper ... will probably have an early sehri .
So now it's the next top of the hour ...so first I pray 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!
1:56 am Break !
2:44 am Had tea and biscuits and chocolate delight during the break .
So as I was saying ...living in this city has always been like living in a curfew . The best days of my life was ruined by MQM and it's Harassment politics . There was nowhere to go without being profiled . And there was always a looming danger of having been filed or drilled .
And then imagine living in a house where strangers and beggers are constantly ringing the bell or banging the gate ....all day long during the holy month . And you have no right to be angry or mad . Isn't that worse than a twenty four hours curfew .
The main reason for having so many beggers in our neighborhood during the holy month is that our residential area slowly turned into a commercial hub . Train loads of beggars from all over the country starts arriving before the start of the month . Some of the poor neighbors increase the security during this season . Which also adds to curfew feeling and extreme hatred for them.
Top of the hour
Water pump pause !
3:32 am Had the leftover chicken 🐔 Biryani ..sweating ..so delayed the tea ..
I am not sure if I should eat sehri now
First Afghanistan ..., Then iraq ..., Then Syria ...., Now Ukraine ....The Builder Mafia' s greed for reconstruction has no limits .
Some time ago I heard a phrase ..Good ones die early ...
Papa died before dawn ....Aslam Bhai died around nine ten ...in the morning
I always wonder and wonder now even more that people who help strangers and friends alike ...die just like those who never help anybody ...live there own life ...care very little about anything around unless their life is affected by it . People also care very little about them . Eat healthy ..workout and have all the time in the world to relax .
How is that even possible ?
How can somebody who is blessed and prayed for by so many people die early then someone who is absolutely abhorred . Or even disliked if not actually hated .
How ?
Top of the hour
Water pump break !
4:07 am Having tea
The water valve man must have dozed off...or probably turn off the supply at fajr .... especial favor for the under construction plots ...
One of the fringe benefits of chasing water tonight is the moon rise ...of the waning moon . It is so huge ....
Can't believe I got to see this ...
So before taking a sehri break .....after watching 48 hours of the Street Security details ....my take on the political scenario is that ...
Most of the government and opposition has accepted defeat . Especially MQM and PPP .
Astronomical Twilight 5:12 am
Sunrise 6:29 am
Okay then it's time for Sehri ...
Okay after Sehri I pump up the water
And prayed fajr with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai
One of the kittens growing up in our yard has developed an amazing nose . He smells everytime I warm something in the microwave
Sun 23rd Shaban 1443H 30°C 1:07 pm Fasting on a Sunday in Lent ... Neighborhood is dead silence Did not switch on the news channel ... Feeling very relaxed ....
1: 48 pm it is so hot 🔥 burning hot outside ....the plastics and rubbers could melt ....there will be many short circuit fires to blame MQM and the govt .
Only rain could have saved us . Please pray for rain in Karachi before it's too late .
Ocra , lady finger or bhindi is cooking in the kitchen ...which will be added to the left over chicken karhai .
My nephew who has recently joined us on this my the Sunday Blog as a reader is already worried about the bakra eid .
He is fond of beef and dairy products
I reminded him that the lumping skin disease is just for the Sindhi Animals ..if you crave the beef burger so much and you have no weather or other issues you can always find imported beef from US and Japan etc ...
4:09 pm So after checking the water pumps ..I lied down and chilled when the temperature outside was 37°C and feels like hell ...they ( google ) says now it is 35°C it's windy now so I guess we survived .
Suddenly I realized that I got too relaxed and did not pray ...so I prayed with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai
