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 !

Woke up after 3:30 am with a very sticky eye lids and a very blurry vision. Fortunately the nose and throat are clear and every muscle below the belt is stress free . especially the gluteus medius or rectus abdominis on the left side around kidney.

Fall asleep.....

Cleaned up did wazu and Prayed Fajr Prayer 🛐

Went to wake up my dear elder sister and she was already up praying
So I had a cup of tea and returned to bed 🛏️
There is still two minutes to sunrise 6:13 am

Haven't seen the sky but it sounds like a very quiet and calm Sunday morning...the neighbors Rooster🐔 crowing cock-a-doodle-doo...smaller bird on trees are also chirping...other than that no sound of traffic yet....
Surprisingly no sound of the street guards talking ...

I have to get up and make tea soon ..there is about an hour or more before the water comes....I will probably get up to to check the water pump...my life cannot get anymore funnier than this ....I collect water in the underground water tank first ....and then pump it up to the overhead water tank ...both are old and have leaks... can't hold the water for long ...but the leak in rooftop overhead tank is very recent and probably because of the continuous renovations the strangers living upstairs have done recently ...
I may have not found out about this leaking water from the overhead water tank if the Gas company plumber had come for the gas meter and connection to the newly installed gas plastic line for which they have dug up the whole city .
I don't feel safe in this environment no more.
But there is no place like home where I can move,shift or ran away. For some unknown reason the builder mafia has also given up on me. I am sure they believe that with the unhealthy eating I may develop fatal diseases very soon  inshallah.
Talking of unhealthy eating....our mosque fryer daddo jee halwaee increased the price of Samosa...now I will have to do the maths again....
The price of petrol and diesel increase and levy imposed and removed have caused a major change in the prices of cammodities and services.
So far the FoodPanda 🐼 delivery riders are not frawning on not getting tip .
The price of egg is going down because it's the end of season...so you can't judge anything with it....but the price of Nihari and Naan at Zahid Restaurant has increased. The price of Biryani has also increased at Allah Wala.
Rumor is that State bank of America...sorry The State bank is also thinking of increasing the interest rates to combat the inflation.

Cheap mobile data bundle and packages are being discontinued and replaced with expensive packages.

Bralets are being replaced by longer shirts with shorter shorts ....sorry too much reels..has nothing to do with the oily Samosa...




Okay it's time for the Breakfast and checking the water pump...
I'll take a break here....

7:26 am Break

10:16 am No idea what happened I checked water pump the water was coming good...I came back made tea
Had a bag of lays chips and back to bed after an hour I went to check water pump again and it seem that water had stopped coming ages ago...so I pumped up whatever was collected in the underground tank....

Now its almost 10:30 am so I will have to check water pump again ...hopefully this time I will have the breakfast or Sunday brunch ....

The Good News is that Americans Air force Two has left Islamabad....Somehow we survived and also get to see a green camel toe before Eid.

10:24 am Break

Made chapli kabab burgers for dinner and watched Kral kaybederse
Then had naan qeema with boiled egg....for supper

Watched few episodes of yarali kuslar in fast forward...just to find out when and if the father finds the true identity of efy ..but it seems that melis sahiba the wild card entry remains till the end....
Anyways the sad news of the death of my All time favorite playback singer shocked me....and I felt really depressed and irritated...I shared the sad news with my dear elder sister and she asked Who was she...?

You can imagine the cultural and Generation gap between us.

Anyways ...I had a very uneasy sleep tonight despite the over eating ...

Before I end this my the Sunday Blog № 523 ( five hundred and twenty three) I want to share the points table of the PSL sorry HBLPSL 11 where ice cream gets real by Hico not available in my neighborhood....
Karachi kings who were at the top before Easter Sunday...are now down to fourth place and pindiz are All Out ...with no win but the most unbelievable thing is that Lahore Qalanders are below Hyderabad kingsmen. well-done buddies.

Good Morning 🌹 
And a happy Easter 

It has been a very rainy week.

The rain in Karachi as you all may know is fast and furious...
And Karachi is now so vast and big that most of the time one area has rain and thunderstorm 
While others have a clear sunny weather....one area or some areas have flooded roads while others just wondering 🤔 

Anyways I had lots of fun this holy week.

Two of my dear siblings have birthdays in the first week of April.
( March 1, Feb 2, Jan 3 , Dec 4, Nov 5, Oct 6, Sep 7, Aug 8,July 9.)

My 30+10 days of fasting ended this week so I was free with a 10 % discount on Doctor Saab's Happy Birthday....we took a yango ride hoping to be greeted with a happy birthday cake ...but reaching there we were surprised to see that they were having paint job and maintenance.... because everybody is out and busy in the morning...they hired the labour in the afternoon...evening shift.
Satisfied that they were having fun we left before the labour arrived.
Also because we did not want to be stuck in the rush hour traffic....we did find two bottlenecks but still it was a smooth ride back home not a jam.


Despite the rain and hailstorm in upper north of Pakistan ...Karachi kings is doing great in the PSL sorry...HBLPSL 11 . So far...let's hope it continues this winning streak..... don't ask who has replaced the bottoms....of the table...


It is a very beautiful and calm Easter Sunday morning ... yesterday was a Public Holiday..... Bhutto saein birthday....so today is the second consecutive holiday...usually the second holiday is very quiet and relaxed.....

The govt of Pakistan has come up with a very unique way of discouraging the theft of motor cycles.....they have increased the price of petrol to around 460 rupees per liter and offered a 100 rupees subsidy....for motorcycle owners for a maximum of 20 liters per month.
Amazing isn't it ? 
What is more amazing is that ...you don't get this 100 rupees discount on the Petro stations...you will buy the petrol at the normal price of the day....( Around 380 rupees today) And get the 2000 rupees Cashback via a nadra linked govt app .
Awesome....
The super rich provinces of the ruling parties are trying to cash in...on this scheme...by offering ....let's see what happens when the fuel crisis ends....
Cnic and registration plus ownership details are a must....so if you don't get the 2000 rupees...this can be translated to that the motorbike is stolen....

Iran claims to have shot down a US f15 fighter jet on the stealth mission in Iran and captured one of the ejected injured pilots...but failed to stop an open televised worldwide search and rescue ....operation.

Not Sure which game are they promoting.....


Boiling eggs for special Easter Sunday Brunch ....So Help me God The All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

3:45 pm 

After post the pictures and reels , 
I fall asleep....
Woke up just a while ago....
The neighborhood is unbelievably quiet ....the penthouse kids under the hot tin roof had the shouting clamouring party late last night...they must have to go somewhere else this afternoon....or they are too tired to get up...because it's a pin drop silence from there.. 

I just realized that I have already prayed before sleeping...so there is no point in waking up so early ...but the battery of the mobile just sounded alarm...so I have to plug it it ....and for that I have to get up and perhaps get a cup of tea .....
Aah ha.

6:43 pm Had watermelon 🍉 
Made tea 
Checked on the pregnant duck...
Watching Turkish drama yarali kuslar 
And now it's time for 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 !

6:46 pm Break 🛐 🤲 

7:32 pm NASA has send a mission Artemis 2 to moon just to test the toilets....a ten day mission that spins around the earth and moon and hopefully sink in The Atlantic ocean.

Let's hope it has a better success rate than the Epic fury.

I bid farewell to winter couple of times ...but this week once again I feel cold ...the water was cold ...I was not sweating after hot and spicy meals...

At first before the rain ...I thought I am catching cold viral or mosquito bites....but after the rain ..and especially getting soaked in rain ...I knew I am okay . It's not just me ...it's the wind that's cold and chilling....

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 

Started watching a new Turkish drama series Yarali kuslar or wounded Birds....
After the end of dasht e Dil 
Dasht e Dil was a mistake right from the start....but some how I survived the 100 episodes....If you ask me ..I skipped a lot...
Anyways.....

Kral kaybederse or Urdu1 TV's ashiq mizaj is still going strong...and this week it took a giant leap of ten years...removed the unnecessary characters and bring back the focus on the main story infidelity.

Fall asleep watching reels.......
