Unable to begin the Sunday Blog at midnight
I fall asleep trying ...woke up at 5 am
First 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
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 !
This was a very interesting and historic week
Pakistan brokered peace deal was signed digitally by both the US and the Iran
Pakistan arranged a signing ceremony in Switzerland but cancelled the event due to security concerns.
Both sides lifted the blockade of the strait of Hormuz...oil prices dropped sharply ...even the govt of Pakistan lowered the prices the world was expecting price cuts for Paratha Chicken Rolls...but
Within hours ...and just hours before The father's day ...the illegitimate Bastard Israel attacked Lebanon and threatened Iran
Iran once again closed the strait of Hormuz.
And the receding oil prices stopped.
The US president trump was show offing his new Air force one gifted by the emir of Qatar...after modifications and painting Red Blue and white.
Every news and fake news channel was covering it....the celebration was married by the news of end of war mou violations and the closure of Straits of Hormuz
The budget session of the National assembly had an interesting impact on the solar panel market ...prices dropped even before the approval of the annual Budget 26-27.
The neighbor vacationing in turkey send the younger one who moved out of the house few years ago to Recce and install solar panels .....not sure if it's to return or collect insurance.
The IT minister MS Shiza Fatima Khawaja has become so famous in both media and social media ....she presented a telecom protection bill and had it passed by the national assembly of Pakistan which according to media reports grants free access to telecom (ptcl) to any public and Private property in Pakistan with a fine of 5 Cror ( 50 million) for the property owners if they choose non compliance or refuse to give free access.
The bill was proceeded to the Senate...for approval after which it will be signed by The President of Pakistan.
So it's a team game ....
I checked water pump three times today midnight, after 8 am and now 9:40 am no luck
Yesterday it came at 9:40 am
Now I will check at 10:30 am after that it will be Chuttee chuttee Chuttee....
Two drivers are on duty in the neighborhood...the lady doctor's and the old man who was taken in the living stone ambulance....did not see him being brought back...son having a great time...he usually race me to and from the Juma Mubarak 🕌 prayers but this week he went in the car with driver and cousin.
Believe it or not ...people who intentionally or unintentionally becomes a part of my security details do not have a normal life ...I have absolutely no idea what is best for him and how to pray for him.
I haven't been to the kitchen ...for tea or breakfast .
I believe my dear sister would wake up expecting the paya breakfast we talked about last night...I woke up lazy ...and late ..I am in no mood to defrost and heat ....and also check if we have the gas or not...I think I'll bring or order some snacks for brunch ...
The transporters strike this week protesting E - Challan services of Sindh police.
Okay it's time to check the water pump for the last time today ....
10:30 am Break
12:40 pm Okay so there is no Chuttee.. chuttee..... Chuttee
The duration and pressure was very limited ...feels like I wasted my Sunday...
We were ordering meat for haleem from panda 🐼 mart
But they said we're closed
Luckily naheed was available
So now we're waiting .....
Then the gas will be gone ...
So we will be waiting.....
Then it will cook till tender ...
And we will be waiting....
Then the lentil will be added and cooked...
And we will be waiting.....
Then the hardest part...
Put the dishes on the table cloth
And offer fateha....

4:55 pm So the gas was turned off fifteen minutes before the scheduled 3 pm at 2:45 pm .
The beef cut was almost done ...
It is now sliced to cook few more minutes before being added to the already cooked and blended lentils.
I felt that my sugar level was going done so I had three small dusari mangoes.
This year they are really awesome....much better than langra and sindhri...and far better than saroli.
Chaunsa is in very early stages ... Not ready yet...
I believe it's late for the shipment ...
The war in gulf has been so good to Karachi....everybody realized that this is not the BC era of Mohenjo-Daro or debal...
And because it does not rain here in Karachi ...solar power is cheaper and hassle free than the petrol, gas and IPP
Jamati e islami came under pressure and started utilizing the billions of rupees they were holding on to, given to them for reconstruction of roads and streets dug by the Sui southern gas company.
Okay it's time for 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 !

5:34 pm Break 🛐 🤲
7:13 pm So the breaking News is that our haleem has too much liquid in it and needs to dry off by cooking ...
I wanted rabri but the bahadurabad branch was not available....so the cooking mafia ordered from rehmat e Sheerin or something ...for some odd reason they have been contaminating my rabri...so I made it very clear that I will not have rabri from rehmat e Sheerin....but still she ordered it....and as soon her order arrived ...the shop I was looking for reappeared on FoodPanda 🐼....the muharram
Days are very unpredictable... that's why I ordered haleem and rabri a day before the 1st and told her that we will resume the fateha wagira after 12th ....but you know ...some people don't understand my Norman wisdom...they don't take me very seriously....Thank God the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
Now we are not under pressure or have a deadline....so even if there are shortcomings or badly cooked ... We are not embarrassed or reprimanded...
Sunset 7:24 pm

9:32 pm So the Cooking mafia offered muharrum fateha of haleem ...it was a totally self inflicted endeavor.....I did nothing substantial in the process. Honestly you can call it a haleem shake
Anyways ...
I prayed Isha Prayer 🛐

Talking of substantial ....
Yesterday I saw a trailer of my childhood favorite tv series by Barbra Taylor Bradford
A women of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford....it's been ages since I saw it and the next book Hold the Dream....
Channel 4 and britbox not available in pakistan
So I believe this time I really survived Emma Harte delusional series...
Watching ...reels ....
Feeling sleepy.....
Very hungry .
10:53 pm Break
Watching Dhurander 2 the revenge....
MQM gets a clean chit both from the supreme court decision on baldia factory fire case ....
And here in Dhurander....
The use of modi blunder of demonetization of currency notes overnight...is used very splendidly...I love it.
I believe Sharmila farooqi and Farooq sattat may be mentioned if Dhurander is made by the Russians.
Talking of Russians ....The peace and quiet in the neighborhood ends tonight....
As the turkish vacation are over...the neighbors with the ducks returned...after a whole month.
I had the time of my life guessing....
Mr President trump tweeted to save the day....glad I don't have a truth social account.
Getting very late ...
All the Best 🌹
Allah Hafiz 🙏
