Okay only fifteen minutes left before the first Nuclear Power Shutdown of the day . Yes the electricity torture company has changed the schedule of the regular shutdown ...

Our 11:30 pm slot has been moved to 12:30 am and graciously removed the doubts I mentioned last week about the first or the last shutdown of the day .Now it's definitely the first . The first and only problem is that this disturbed the water pump schedule of 12 to 2 am cycle . 

Anyways got to go and check the water pump before the Nuclear Power Shutdown .


12:22 am Break ! 


12:26 am Nope ..not a drop ...

The problem seems to be that when our pump is running ..the water torture company ' s value or supply pump don't have the electricity ...

And if by any chance I am able to collect enough water to pump it up to overhead tank ..it will be the time for the next scheduled electric power shutdown ...


Anyways , the dear merciful lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

Has always tested his devoted chosen ones with water and Power . Remember how our father Abraham and his dear wife hajara were tested . 


The dear merciful lord was so pleased with them that he made it a part of Hajj and Umrah till eternity .

Okay ...so we missed the 12:30 am first Nuclear Power Shutdown of the Sunday . 

So now I am not sure what to do ....should I go back and check the water pumps again or forget about it and do the daily wordle ....


Ya that would be cool I guess 


So , 


1:28 am ..my mind is not concentrating so I guess I will do the wordle  later ....


The main events of the week ...


Moon not sighted ...here but it was sighted there ...so Hajj will be on Friday 8th July and Bakra Eid will be on Sunday 10th July 


But the main hurdle this year is that Scattered Thunderstorm have been predicted for each and everyday of the coming week and even beyond 


I believe RAW's long time dream of urban flooding in Karachi may come true this monsoon .

Army boats would love to rescue the drowning and electrocuted civilians all over the city . 

My neighborhood sewers are already running overflow ...we can't survive week long rain ...


Most of the new or recently constructed buildings have very bad plumbing they already have leakages and sepages .they won't survive a week long rain and thunderstorm.



I started fasting from Wednesday ...


On Friday we had a fateha for my dearly departed Ammi's 8th death Anniversary

May her soul rest in peace Amen 🙏 


Wifi connected but no internet .

So this means that I should start the cheapest internet bundle for jus one day and two nights because now I usually don't finish this my the Sunday Blog on the midnight of Monday . 


2:02 am have to go and check the water pump 


Break ! 



2:20 am Metaphorically speaking this weekend , Friday , Saturday and today felt like somebody throw a bucket in the well and filled it with water .

Day one Friday


Tried to pull the heavy bucket filled with water with a very old rope 


Today is the decider if they sustain the bucket or not . 


Ayaz amir a very senior journalist and a very familiar face on the primetime independent news channels under ispr and USAID  funding was shown on the social media top trends on the very top . 


He criticize the army chief qamar bajwa , ridiculed Imran Khan as he smiled and seriously offended the real state agents and made some very derogatory remarks about founding fathers portrait on the wall .


And the very next day he was manhandled by unknown persons outside his office . 




Amazing !

Sleepy 


Sehri time ....










Sehri 


3rd Zilhij 1443H


Astronomical twilight 4:18 am 


Sunrise 5:47 am 


I prayed the 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!

The Google weather or the weather through Google after predicting a thunderstorm from today has shifted it to Monday mornings giving a last chance to repent and go to the cattle market . 



Okay I am very very sleepy now you cannot imagine how I got up and prayed 

5:46 am Break ! 


Sun 3rd Zilhij 1443H 

34°C 

12:17 pm Fasting 

5th Roza 

Woke up at noon to the first Nuclear Power Shutdown of the Sunday 

Weather is very hot and humid partly sunny The heavily predicted Thunderstorm delayed due to protests traffic jams and inflation .


So after this noon to one power shutdown I have no idea when to expect the second Nuclear Power shutdown of the day 


Checked the water pump ...

Had a bath 

And prayed the Zuhr 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!


Today is the 3rd Zilhij 

And the thunderstorm is pushed back ...Iran and Afghanistan had deadly earthquakes recently and UAE was jolted every time ... somethings wrong . Nobody in the family and neighborhood has died since the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai ( May his soul rest in peace in Jannah Amen 🙏) 


The other day during fateha 

Call Courier of Telenor distracted so we are being extra cautious about the fateha . 

Will do it when everything is quiet and calm and bucket reached the level ( metaphorically speaking ) 


Can't say about the cooking mafia she believes it is a very good thing to feed junk food to open ( break ) someone's fast . Too much YouTube junk is corrupting our feeble minds ...must have a check on it ....


Oh I need to go and check the water pump again ...


2:03 pm Break ! 


3:06 pm Had a really great hour ...twice I felt like it's time for the nuclear power shutdown ...but it did not happen ....the water line valve man missed the shutdown otherwise I would have come back before 2:30 pm 


Anyways , the cooking mafia got up after two  and everything seems ready for fateha ...

It smells so good ...I feel like breaking the fast right now ....dharm bharasht 



4:44 pm So I fell asleep did realize when the fan stopped at 4 pm that the second came but was so sleepy that I stayed in bed suddenly I felt somebody banging the gate ...by the time I reached the lookout post ...the poor neighbors cars were rushing out in a hurry ...

And there was also a Foodpanda rider waiting ...but nobody on our gate ...









As expected my dear elder sister is not letting me in on the fateha preparations ...she made the sweet dish herself and cooked the Pulao . She even bought the fruits from the fruits Wala when he came in the morning . So I guess I don't have to go out today before iftari and step on the cattle dunk on the street . There is a extreme lack of street cleaners and sweepers in my neighborhood . All of the kmc , zmc and kwsb sweepers work in the private homes and only clean the inside nobody cleans the outside . Unless you pay a hefty amount they don't work for bakshish any more they want a contract . 

No contract no cleaning . Even your paid regular maid or sweeper won't sweep outside the main door . And if you try to do it your self ...the neighbors guards and drivers would look at you as if your are stealing poor men / women's contract money . And sometimes they even alert the sweepers who would come rushing saying ...Arey Saab ...ye aap Kya kar rahey ho .... that's our job ....and then take over the cleaning as if you have agreed to the contract . Embarrassed you move aside and let them clean . 


So the Second Nuclear Power Shutdown of the day which began at 4 pm did not end at 5 pm ...


So it's time for the Asr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and the 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!

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُون


After Asr prayers we had everything normal and calm so we offered the fateha for our dearly departed papa may his soul rest in peace Amen 🙏































Obviously the bucket reached the level .

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْد

Meaning: Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no deity (no god) besides Allah and Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest and to Allah all praises belong.


1:27 am Wifi Connected no internet ...
Ab toh aadat si hai mujh ko aisay jenay main ....

We had the first Nuclear Power Shutdown of the day at midnight ...the surprising thing is that it was restored just half hour later at 12:30 am 

I missed the wordle yesterday and I already know the answer of today's wordle as I watched my sister do it ...

So it is no fun tonight .
I checked the water pump but the news channels say that it is raining in Karachi ...even though the sky over my head is partly cloudy ...no sign of rain here ... neighbors are doing cow catwalk and the building next door managed to keep their custom and tradition alive by bring a crying out loud Bakra 

Most people do the sacrifice not because it is religious but because they have been doing it religiously . 

Anyways , I have no custom or tradition ...so I am not under any pressure to perform this ritual . 

Okay top of the hour ...time to check the water pump again .

1:59 am Break ! 

2:30 am Wifi Connected 
Water stopped ...
No rain 
Bakra stopped crying out loud 
The humidity in my room has increased manifolds ...my towels and garments are not drying at all . And all wooden doors have expended not opening or closing easily.

The sehri time is near ...but I am feeling very sleepy especially after eating the chicken Pulao .
