Good Morning 🌹 


Survived one of the Worst days of the Iran - US conflict so far....Every body knows there is No Winner in this unplanned Act of aggression. And it could have not come at a worst time then the United States 250th Happy Independence day 4th of July 2026 CE .


The day also had the delayed funeral of the supreme leader of Iran who was blown away in the air attack joint operations by US and Israel.


Surprisingly the chehra shown at the funeral was fully formed and had no signs of a Air strike.

Must be Madame Tussauds or Ai.




Any ways....I have already missed the Isha prayer and now the I have to get up and hurry and pray the Qaza before the Fajr 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 !


5:06 am Break 🛐 🤲 


7:48 am Did not sleep after fajr 🛐 

Watched reels 

Checked water pump 

Made tea 

Yes the gas is coming early today....


Not in the mood for breakfast ...had too much fatty beef last night ...still trying to cool down and relax.


Can't sleep have to check the water pump in an hour and half ...so all I can do is watch some more reels ....


After checking the water pump I saw a rose bud ready to bloom later today...most of the flowers recently were very malnourished I am not sure what am I doing so wrong.




Anyways ...cooking mafia was sleeping so I ordered junk food from panda 🐼 mart...it was 10-25 minutes ...I fall asleep for few minutes and woke up with the kitchen activity...

The cooking mafia was awake ....and started cooking the mutton leg roast she marinated yesterday 

I checked the order...it was showing picked up but rider was still at the mark.

I gathered the cash and plugged in the mobile ...the time was 1 - 10 minutes....I knew it was not possible....then the estimated delivery time changed to 10-25 minutes with rider making a stop.

I have stopped worrying about the walls feast...

Rider arrived at 10:34 am but the delivery time on order is 10:26 am strange isn't it.

Anyways I checked the stuff and store in theire usual places.






The mutton leg roast is still cooking as there is no gas curfew on Sunday morning....how Mighty gracious of the SSGC 🔥 


The builder mafia is probably having the roof laying somewhere sounds are coming from behind our neighbors in the front. By God he is so desperately trying to control his outburst and anger....the solar panel work is still going on ...they dig a separate ground earth for electric overcharge and safety...taking extra precautions....after returning from turkey e .


I came here to cool down and relax ...now I am cool down and relaxed so I better get up and see if I can help in the kitchen or if something is required from the the market.


11:47 am Break 


3:53 pm Okay we cooked ...I mean I cooked the plain rice 

Made tea 

Boiled water 

And laid the table 

And did the dishes ....











Yes we did the Sunday Brunch ....and since then I was doing the half sleep siesta...

Now I believe it's time to get up and check who is parked in the front ...the neighbors next door who never let anyone park in front of their ground floor portion ...are having a majlis ....


Also it's getting late ...so I need to get up and pray Zuhr 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 !

5:36 pm Break 🛐 🤲 


6:43 pm Disturbing news ...too many deaths in Punjab this week ...

A roof of the tuition center collapse 30+

A bus Fall into ravine 40+

And now an air force officer died trying to intervene a quarrel to save a woman.in Islamabad.


Talking of Islamabad... yesterday the Islamabad monument on shakarpurian hill and Lahore fort were illuminated 


Karachi remained neutral or independent.... believe as you may .

Unless of course the projectors used in the wall display and flag were sent from regal market sadder Karachi.

Come to think of it ....which monument should have been selected for 250th 

Can't do it on Quaid's mazar...

The gul plaza is no more port trust or kmc is not suitable....


The frere hall is very anti -US

Old neighborhood from where they were kicked out after protest .


This brings down to Waheed kabab or the FBR building 






Anyways BLNT ...at the ½ kg I mean the 500th Happy Independence day.


By the Way just in case you are wondering ....


((  


The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad coordinated the illuminations from July 1 to July 5, 2026, in partnership with Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Capital Development Authority. In Lahore, the Alamgiri Gate and Picture Wall at the Fort, along with the Quaid-e-Azam Library, were also illuminated as part of the Freedom 250 campaign.


))


😆 $$$


My blood sugar is getting low and I am also feeling hungry ...it's been six hours since the amazing Sunday Brunch .....


So I better grab a snack and tea before the Maghrib 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 !

Good Morning 🌹 

Believe it or not ...I survived the Ashura of Muharram 1448 H

There was not much enthusiasm and religious zeal in the neighborhood.

We had water a couple of times ...

Cooking mafia was able to cook haleem twice .

It did not rain but the weather remained mostly cloudy and windy.
I bought mangoes couple of times . And enjoyed eating them very much and the best thing is that I did not get boils or skin rash... Phora phunsi...at all.
Usually when we eat mangoes before the rain it is hell.

Talking of hell....Geo New got banned by pemra for 15 days ...for toheen e risalat.

In another incident...last night a terrorist attack on rangers on university road gulistan e johar block 6. Has left many dead and wounded on both sides .

Karachi used to be the most dangerous mega polis in the world ...now you can see even the terrorist can't cross the University road due to the Red Line BRT .

King Charles proudly declared that he paid 17 million dollars tax 

No wonder they fired the Prime Minister Keir Gilchrist sorry starmer or stammer....whatever the one who came after rishi sunak....


It's been almost two and a half hours since I prayed Fajr 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

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 !

Now it time for checking the water pump 

7:38 am Break 

Sun 12th Muharram 1448H

4:47 pm Woke up after 5 am

Started the Sunday Blog 
Checked water pump 
Smelled fresh Rose 🌹 
Made tea 
Prepared the special Sunday breakfast 
Fall asleep 
Woke up 
Had bath 
Prayed Zuhr 
Watched Turkish drama 

5:06 pm After making the tea I defrosted the Beef paya and naan 
And had the special Sunday breakfast 






Then I went to bed and fall asleep watching reels and Ai short films and Ai movie clips

Woke up had a bath and prayed  Zuhr 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 !

The cooking mafia probably got bored watching the Turkish drama series and ordered groceries from Panda 🐼 mart
I received them.
Yesterday she ordered food and the FoodPanda rider posted a picture of the cash payment...it appeared with the Delivered .. popup on the app page .

At first I thought it was a picture of my hand but then I realized that it was his finger and thumb and the kerb .

Okay 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 !

5:20 pm Break 🛐 🤲 

8:00 pm So as expected The cooking mafia started making seekh kabab and chicken boti Tikka....

At around 6 pm we heard singular gun shots....we both remembered the famous iconic legendary dialogue of noman ejaz ....I will try to search the reel tomorrow and post it here just for the future reference....


So when I was convinced that these kababs and Tikka will be ready for tasting before Sunset 7:25 pm 
I immediately ordered Rabri and hot gulab jamun and falooda qulfi...
Honestly I was hoping the qulfi would be melted ...but it was rock solid ....and only started to melt when I mixed it with the falooda syrup...in a separate small box .

So just before the sunset we offered the fateha ...

Few British Muslims argue that the martyrs are shaheed and there is no soyeum of the Shaheed...
Few American Muslims argue that what is fateha ....

I believe that God forbids Some and gives توفیق to others....

divine guidance, grace, and the ability to achieve success in doing righteous deeds. It describes the state where Allah aligns circumstances, opportunities, and inner strength, allowing a person to do good, avoid sin, and find true prosperity

Fortunately Tufeeq توفیق has been vastly explained in the light of Quran and Sunna by both British and American Muslim theologian and institution.

By the way ....we usually don't offer the chehlum forty day fateha...but you never know...

Allah hu Akbar ! 


It took few minutes to clear and clean the dishes ...









And after that i prayed Maghrib 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 !

 
Chef Rahat host and presenter of a cooking show on television passed away this week 
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ).


Pakistan women won their first match in the world cup...4-1


Against the Netherlands 
It was their last group match 
There were also rumors about differences between the cap and a player...

Anyways extremely poor performance...despite the hot weather .

Talking of hot weather ...there are scenes of panic buying of air-conditioning appliances in France...and news about council restrictions in the UK.

Our neighbors have found the very slow labor for installation of Solar panels ...their work is in the second week ....
His short temper after the operation is very alarming ....
I told his younger son that his father is shouting unnecessarily.....he should stay calm and relax....which is absolutely against his nature...
So now I feel like somebody is trying desperately to make me shout and scream and lose my temper and cool.

Unfortunately I am very relaxed and carefree...enjoying the food and fruits especially mangoes.

The Chaunsa mangoes entered the market side-by-side to the sindhri mangoes...but I prefer the dushari...it's small but  very juicy sweet.color amazing inside...it reminds me of my Childhood Poison.... Pfizer's Lysovit a multivitamin and mineral syrup primarily formulated with B-complex vitamins and Vitamin C. It is used to prevent vitamin deficiencies, boost immunity, improve appetite, and support recovery from illness



.

Feeling hungry....better finish now and get up 


All the Best 🌹 

Allah Hafiz 🙏
