Good Morning 🌹

Today is the third Sunday in Ramzan and Lent 2026...(22,01,8)

The next Sunday will be the Fourth and last Sunday ( 15) in Ramzan and jumatul wida will be on the Friday the Twentieth of March ...So I guess.....this routine is about to change very soon ....

Today is also the final of icc t20 world cup final...India vs New Zealand....

Pakistan was not able to reach the semi final because of Rain and nevermind...

Iran is still fighting the Epstein War....it has now completely blocked the straight of Hormuz...which is so curved....I am not sure if the US centcom has the will to try and open it without heavy losses.

So far the debris from the interceptor missle and the iron dome miss has caused havoc in the middle east ...

It's a nightmare....

Pakistan was so far only worried about the safety of the labour working there....but now

The govt suspect that the stoppages of export will hurt the butchers .....and farmers...in the short term and rest of the traders in the long term...so they increased the price of petroleum products ...by RS 55/- to cover up the losses and maintain the falling price of mutton and beef.

Not sure how the FoodPanda 🐼 food delivery service will react to the RS 55 increase over night....the sudden announcement caused jams and long queues of buyers at the petrol stations on Friday night and all day Saturday from the early hours.

Falling asleep.....

3:50 am woke up ...have to go check the water pump....and make tea...

6:26 am Fasting....

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 !

12:46 pm The Sun Meridian is over...

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

The peaceful death of Ayatollah Ali khamenai has not only shocked the world but also my neighbors who had openly started mutation of my home ...now he must have realized and focused his attention on their next door neighbors....

For me it's a grand failure....all my hard work to appear harmless has gone astray....I never wanted to create a reasonable doubt in anybody's mind that if they hurt me both physically or emotionally...something bad is going to happen... either to them or their interests....

I honestly never wanted that because a scared Scorpio bites harder...so I have heard..

Even if it is not fatal....

Ayatollah Ali khamenai was born in 1939...

My dearly departed Ammi ( May her soul Rest in Peace in Jannah Amen 🙏)

Was born in 1935

She passed away 12 years ago in the most horrible private hospital ..I often wondered if she could have survived ...

If she had not fallen..

Recently....her cousin's daughter called on the phone ...daughter herself must be in her early seventies informed that her mother is still alive...

I am not really sure if she was the same age or younger...

Anyway.....this week we learned that the last surviving male Cousin of Papa ( May his Soul Rest in Peace in Jannah Amen 🙏) also a near neighbor passed away a month or two ago..... recently as I passed his house on my way from the market I inquired about him from the gardener who was watering the plants on the kerb...and he told me that Saab is out of country...his four daughters were all happily married abroad in four continents....

For some unknown reason he never liked me very much...

And the feelings were very mutual....

Recently I have realized that the Urdu phrase Kaha Sunna Maaf" (کہا سنا معاف) is meaningless for people who readily believe in Hearsay(سنی سنائی بات)

and make up their minds and opinions....

( ChatGPT : There isn’t a direct proverb in English that perfectly matches “kaha-suna maaf” (کہا سنا معاف), but there are several set phrases / idiomatic expressions used in a similar situation—when people want to forget harsh words said during an argument.

Here are the closest English catchphrases:

1. “No hard feelings.”

➡ Probably the closest equivalent.

Used after a disagreement to show that whatever was said should be forgiven.

Example:

“Things got heated earlier, but no hard feelings.”

2. “Let’s forget what was said.”

➡ Very similar in meaning—moving past the argument.

3. “Let bygones be bygones.”

➡ A classic English proverb meaning let the past arguments be forgiven and forgotten.

4. “Water under the bridge.”

➡ Means the issue is over and shouldn’t be discussed anymore.

5. “Sorry if anything I said offended you.”

➡ A polite phrase used when smoothing things over.

✅ Best cultural match:

“No hard feelings.” or “Let bygones be bygones.”

If you want, I can also show you some funny or casual English equivalents people say after arguments, which are closer to how “kaha suna maaf” is used in South Asian conversations.)

There is absolute silence in the neighborhood....I can hear birds chirping outside and the wall clock inside the room.

Time to get up and pray Zuhr Prayer 🛐

with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai

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 !

2:19 pm Break 🛐 🤲

5:03 pm Fall asleep

Woke up and cooked time saving Chicken Mattar Pulao....

Pakora and fish is also ready....

So iftari is ready

Time to pray Asr Prayer 🛐

with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai

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 !

5:06 pm Break 🛐 🤲

10:14 pm New Zealand needs 97 runs in Seven balls...nine out....I think you guessed it right....

Anyway...I am watching Turkish drama series Yalnız Kalpler lonely heart or in Urdu dasht e Dil....it one of the most boring series....

I went to market to buy bread and butter...since I came back I have been sweating....

Probably because I am eating leftovers...and having hot tea..

A win by 96 runs....thank God the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏

It was not Pakistan in the finals....

Now I have to return to watch the Turkish drama series...Umer ...

I don't believe there is anything important to record.....so if I did not come back it is Good bye...
