The Sunday Blog # 114

Today is the Sunday the 10th of June 2018 , The 25th of Ramzan 1439 till the sunset ( 7:20 pm , Karachi ) And this is my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and fourteen ) .
So why do we write Fourteen with a U and Forty without a U ?
Anyways , First the Ramzan update , Yes now we are in the last leg of the Holy Month of Ramzan Twenty Four roza or fast have been observed religiously . So this evening after the twenty fourth iftar and maghrib prayer i went to the mosque for isha and taravee . Where the qari saab recited or read the 28th para  29th half  of the holy Quran .  So now there are only one and half para  left so there will be two more nights of taravee prayer that is today after isha and tomorrow on Monday evening or night . On Monday will be the Khatam ay Quran it will also be the 27th night of the Ramzan .
So in few days the ramzan will be gone which means that this is the Last Sunday Blog in Ramzan the next one will be on the third day of Eid Subject to the sighting of the moon on Thursday evening . Science VS Sight . The new moon will be about 19 to 20 hours old at sunset on Thursday and should be easily sighted unless there is a cloudy or hazy  sky all over the region then it will be very difficult . Honestly i have rarely sighted a summer new moon here in Karachi especially in the monsoon season . A month ago for the sighting of the ramzan moon i went to the mosque for maghrib prayer but on my way i looked up at the sky and was so surprised to see a very hazy sky there was absolutely no chance of sighting a moon here in jamshed town . Anyways the committee got witness from other parts or the country and it declared . The media and social media instead of helping and aiding tries to create confusion and distrust . Most Pakistanis don't take it seriously they think that its the government or committee's job But they do listen to the announcement very Anxiously for both the ramzan and eid month only because it affects their routines and the next day.  Ruet-e-Hilal committee sits every month on the 29th of the islamic lunar month and does the same exercise and announce the sighting or not sighting of the new moon. very few channels break that news or run a ticker and even fewer people on the social media reacts for most of the months .

And talking about reaction today when i was going for the Isha / taravee prayer , i saw a neighbour talking to a guy about her roadside kerb garden holding a mug in her hand . I did not have even a minute to give my two cents at that time as i am in a rush to get to the mosque before the prayer starts . But on my way back i met her next door neighbour who has better grass on his kerb garden . I got suspisous and was constantly wondering if the neighbours are making fun of me and my kerb which has big trees and does not look like a garden and often gives shelter to the neighbours drivers , guards and help , who sit under the shades in the heat of Karachi and spent their worst time of the day . But just now before starting this my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and Fourteen ) i saw the Google doodle

Google Doodle Celebrating Garden Gnomes | Global Edition ...

https://www.devdiscourse.com/.../22758-google-doodle-celebrating-garden-gnomes

1 hour ago - Global Edition | Garden gnome are small lawn ornament figures of humanoid creatures known as gnomes who are typically men in red pointed ...

So Now i am even more confused ..... LOL
Anyways i will play this google doodle game some other time because tonight or morning i am already late by half an hour as i was watching or trying to watch the new episode of Pyar lafzon mein kahan ...yes the HayMur serial as it is popularly known on the social media . it is too childish but i am hooked to it so can't help it now and since the filmazia HD repeats it so much that i can't miss it even if i try to . Just like of all my efforts to not watch the Nagin 3 as i did with the 1 and 2 . this time due to the filmazia HD channel 's persistent repeats i got to watch the first episode and now know the story the characters and the Motive behind the revange of the Nagin 3 the shape shiftier or itsha dhari . 
 What i don't understand yet is that what happend to Karishma Tanna in the second episode why she had to be replaced by Anita Hassanandani Reddy
no i am not complaining or anything . its just not clear at the moment if both will stay on the show or only one will take it from here . I can understand that she can shape shift anytime and even though the original is no longer required but i am sure the producer or director or ekta will keep bringing back Karishma for the dance . Oh and the show is already making money with unrelated hindi movie new release segments like the special visit of the cast of veere di wedding . 
Anyways i am not sure if i will watch this show after ramzan when i get back to my regular movie watching . 
Okay it is 2 :00 am and i thing i should take a break here and come back soon before the sehri break . 

2:04 am Break ( 932 words) 

2:35 am I am still surprised that i reached almost a thousand words on my own for this my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and fourteen ) in less than an hour and half on a day like today when why head is constantly sweating and especially after i eat walk or pray . 
Anyways , during the break this happened 



No no this is not the Sehri .....after coming from the mosque at eleven pm i drink a lot of water and juice and sat down to watch television so did not eat at all . so now i got a chance to eat . The Piece of cake is that last of my Happy Birthday Cake which i mostly eat my self . This was the final Happy Birthday which came in Ramzan and coincided with the fatehas . The next one will be on eid second or third day next year 2019 . And i may not have to buy a cake on a third day of eid ...Anyways the cake was awesome


 And so was the youm-e-Ali (KAW) fateha .


Sister gave me the cash gift to buy my own and brother sent me a gift through the .dot.com site .
 Thankyou both of you !!

Okay now i come back to the most important topic of the week . Why i used back ....yes now i come to the most important topic of the week .
Despite a lot of encouragement by my siblings and few unknown and un seen . The message of the week seems that writing can be dangerous .
Writing can lead to different avenues and the worst thing that can happen to a writer is that they can be put to work .

Horrible !

yes you guessed it right . a writer of three books has been picked up by election commission of Pakistan to be the legally chief minister of Punjab ...a dream come true i must say of a parha likha punjab . پڑھا لکھا پنجاب ( google translate : Read Punjab ) ( NADRA translate : machine readable punjab )

Even more dangerous is the fact that just hours after the DG ISPR issued warning to the social media journalists who spread hate instead of Butter , Another Bukhari of Lahore Pakistan gets it . Yes i see a pattren here first the famous lawyer from lahore Pakistan as well as media and political celebrity was attacked at a london metro station a month ago . Now Gul bukhari at Lahore Cantt . So does anybody know a bukhari from lahore Pakistan traveling on chennai express or delhi metro ....no no just asking by any chance ...helps reduce the
 shock
Okay the time is almost up even though i have eaten just now but i have to do the sehri anyways and also this is the last sehri on a Sunday in this Ramzan during this my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and fourteen ) less then a week now . And since i have started this my the Sunday Blogs the week wents ( oh my God the wents is not a word ) so fast that i don't even feel it passing . ah !
Anyways so now i take a sehri and fajr prayer break with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa And Ammi

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!

5:11 am Yes i am in fast / Roza the 25th . Didn't need to eat but i did the regular sehri .


 Canada is bad that i knew but it is so bad i did not
.
 1 hour ago
PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

Very dishonest & weak.
Very dishonest & weak.
Very dishonest & weak.
So what are we going to do about it ? 
okay i don't understand this or have any knowledge about it


so lets ignore it .

okay my eyes are now fully  shut so Allah hafiz !

1:13 pm Good Afternoon !
the first tweet of the day

Sun 25th Ramzan1439

1:07 pm okay i am almost up ! still a little drowsy and a lot of sweaty and there is not a drop of water in the tap to wash my face or to know if it is hot outside looks like haze all over no rain sad!


Kim of North has arrived for the summit and trump wasting time in canada .

so the summit is on 12th june morning . they will have enough time to learn a few words of each others language but i really think that they should not do that in this summit both leaders are very easily offended a wrong choice of words can certainly waste the efforts of the background diplomacy . The question is ? is it the diplomacy at work that has made this summit possible or is it twitter and President Trumps tweet that has lured the Kim of the North . Anyways the summit is on and the Kim of the North has just arrived and received by the local leadership . Ever  since i learned that Chinese and European massage therapists are locally available here in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world , i stopped worrying about the Singapore , Thailand , Malaysia . Anyways most of the part and past British places are all same for me . Same Lords same Laws.

Break a leg ! Okay lets move on and take a break for the Zuhr Prayer and a Bottle Bath. This has been the worst Ramzan of my life . The more i needed to be clean and look clean this Ramzan the more i get a no water days . Anyways lets add it to the list of Nuclear tests i survived .
So a break with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa And Ammi

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! 

1:49 pm Break ( 2180 words)

3:28 pm Ah thankGod The All Mighty Allah Amen ! i prayed . Before the prayer i was in a very different mood not having enough water to prepare but during the prayer i got reminded that we do not have to hate the Indians or Pakistanis because of their dams and our no water . We here in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world are not fully dependent on their water . we Have two very incredible sources of The God Gifted Rain and Sea Water . Yes Karachi main toh samandar hai ....!!
By the way if Navy and so called Mayor is ready i can request ....LOL

So please no more scare karachi with the rhetoric to save water ! Karachi main pani kabhi bhi khatam nahein Hosakta !! Ma Sha Allah Amen !
And since many people are now using up the Boring Water and RO water so please and this is serious ....use as much water as you can to the extent of wasting as long as it does not go in sewerage . That is if you are taking the water from the earth then return most of it so that the level stays the same . And of course pray more for rain as well . Plant trees if you can take care of it and water it for at least an year or two regularly . Don't waste time and money for an election campaign . Trees don't grow on their own just by planting in a dry barren land or neighbours kerb . LOL
My sister is  trying to grow a few mango trees for the past three years , saves the kitchen and dishes water to water them multiple times daily and still they are only knee high . So Mr Alvi ( Doctor) your plant has very little chance of survival and turning into a environmentally friendly tree before 25th july 2018 . Make a ditch of water instead it will do more good to the environment of Karachi .
And talking of Environment , it was the World Environment Day 2018 on tuesday 5th june . I did nothing special on that day just the routine ramzan stuff but our dear friend His excellency the British envoy tweeted this ....











Awesome isn't it ....Must be a Dhabba near by i am sure . LOL

No mention of the cola PET ?

Anyways the People of Karachi and Pakistan only wants to hear one thing from his Excellency and that is a good news about men in Self Exile .

Okay now a short non commercial break to ease and relax my back ( qamar shull )

4:17 pm Break (2634 words)


5:13 pm It was any amazing Break . I saw thee sign of water coming soon . Sky is partly cloudy Humidity outside is 60% and inside it must be 20% more but i can't keep the door of this room open right now because of the Aloo Pakora frying in the kitchen nearby . Getting requests of water melon for iftar lets see if i can go . Since this my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and fourteen) is now reaching the three thousand words mark so all my tension is gone and i can go out to the market but then i think that only two days are left for the taravee khatam-ay Quran and i should not take any extra risk . So i think that i should avoid the rush hour peak ramzan shopping time . This week has been really tough at iftar i ate very little had lots of water and went to the mosque an extended four hours of non fast not eating and praying . Anyways it is amazing that during the going to the mosque and back and all the time i am there perspiring profoundly i did not feel  de-hydrated at all . Somebody is providing the free bottled chilled water during the taravee  God  the All Mighty Allah Amen !  Bless Him . But i did not use it not even once or had to . For Some odd reason i try to avoid any thing that is free and especially during this holy month of ramzan and in the mosque or on the way .

Okay  the water has not yet been pumped up to the overhead tank so the tap is still dry and i may have to take the bottle bath and wadu again for the Asr Prayer . I was never use to this lota culture but ever since i have started this Sunday Blog series somebody at the helm and on the main stream is trying to distract me from being my natural and witty self and keep my focus on the more trivial matters of the every day #$%&*  life here in karachi the most dangerous city in the world . So i would ask any Londoner.  if ten Armed people not properly trained or detailed are sitting on kerbs and doors on your street like they are on mine would you still believe it is a peaceful and friendly Neighbourhood or would you suggest a shrink to anybody who says it is ?

Okay Anyways , i take a break for the Asr prayer now with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa And Ammi

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! 


5:51 pm Break ( 3101 words)

6:33 pm less than an hour left ...to Sunset ( 7:20 pm , karachi) , iftar , maghrib
prayer so still no mood to go to the market and bring the water melon but after watching these Aloo Pakoras i don't think i can go out knowing that everybody is with fast and wont touch the aloo pakoras till iftar time But still the mind and body not accepting it can't help it



The Iftar parties as the media here calls were on the decline this year mostly due to the political uncertainty as well as heat and traffic jams . Going mile away just to eat rolls and chat that you can make , buy or borrow for nearby without risking your life and limb does not seem wise anymore especially in the fast when you also have to rush back to go to your regular taravee . So i believe that people who don't have to go to the taravee after isha and those who are not fasting are the ideal people to be invited to the Iftar Parties and they must go or should go and have fun till the host repent .
Okay this reminds me that President Trump Hosted a Iftar Dinner this week for the legal immigrants in the US .Sounds Fun but will discuss it some other time
Tonight he is no a big mission and i don't want to upset him or his team . LOL

CNN the fake news is in Full Mourning as one of their chefs killed himself  Good riddance !

Honestly i have no idea who he was or why he is so famous after a suicide after all no matter what good you do in this life but if you take your own life you go to hell Amen !
Okay time for Break with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa And Ammi

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! 


7:15 pm Break ( 3450 words)

Sun 26th Ramzan 1439
34°C
8:07 pm Good Evening ! 
The 26th of ramzan is here now a night without moon here in karachi the most dangerous city in the world . Had a very light iftar just a date most probably pakistani or irani . not sure . and a few aloo pakoras and cool drinks and water chilled . Left the chat and stuff on the table for later and by later as usually means in Ramzan after maghrib no after isha and taravee for me . 
So today is 26th Taravee . yesterday the qari saab did not stop at the end of the 29th para he went all the way and kept on going till he reach the half ( nisf ) of the 29th para 

رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا - 71:28

My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

So after that iam not sure where will he finish today because at that speed he could finish today as well but maybe he will leave the last small sura for the khatam ay Quran 
Anyways i am glad that i did it this year as well Thanks to the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! This time i am not saying that i wont do it the next year . Insha Allah i will definitely try to even though i know that next year the weather will be harsher and i will be weaker than i was this year and may be i will also have some health and emotional issues to deal with still i pray that the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! gives me strength again to pray the taravee prayer again and again insha Allah Amen !




 I also Pray that the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! save me from praying in a rickshaw for as long as possible Amen !

Okay the Time is up !!!
So here i take a Isha and Taravee prayer Break with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa And Ammi

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! 


 8:33 pm Break ( 3850 Words)

11:04 pm

LOL yes i am back without a bang bang bang ....lol

technically the qari saab recited the 30th para but he stopped here


فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا - 86:17

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

So tomorrow we will insha Allah Amen !  get to see some new nafri with some new tricks up their whatever . So if i did not catch any serious virus from this new nafri i will be free for two nights and a chand raat . By the way the sky is so cloudy tonight that i am not sure if the moon will be sighted here in karachi this years as well . A Chaand Raat without a moon sounds so ridiculous  but what can we say except ...

Shehar Ke Dukandaro
Karobaar-E-Ulfat Mein
Sood Kia Zian Kia Hai,
Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay
Dil Ke Daam Kitne Hein
Khuwab Kitne Mehnge Hein
Aur Naqd-E-Jaan Kia Hai
Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay


O merchants of the town,
in these dealings in love,
what is profit,
what is loss you will
never know!
The pricing of a heart,
the expense of a dream
and the currency of life
you will never know!


Koi Kaisay Milta Hai
Phool Kaisay Khilta Hai
Aankh Kaisay Jhukti Hai
Saans Kaisay Rukti Hai
Kaisay Reh Nikalti Hai
Kaisay Baatein Chalti Hai
Shouq Ki Zabaan Kya Hai, Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay

Sheher Ke Dukandaron, Sheher Ke Dukandaron

How a lover meets his love,
how a flower blooms,
how eye shies away from eye,
how a breath is held,
and how a path runs on and on,
conversation flows
in a tongue of longing,
too, you will never know!

Wasl Ka Sukoon Kya Hai,
Hijr Ka Junoon Kya Hai,
Husn Ka Fusoon Kya Hai,
Ishq Ke Daroon Kya Hai
Tum Mareez-E-Danai
Maslihat Ke Shaydai
Raah-E-Gumrahan Kya Hai,
Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay

Sheher Ke Dukandaron, Sheher Ke Dukandaron


Nor the calm of lovers’ arms,
nor the madness of their parting,
beauty’s powerful bewitchments,
all that stuff of love.
You know ailments of the flesh and the
welfare of the flesh,
but the striving of the spirit 
you will never know.

Zakhm Kaisay Phaltay Hein
Daagh Kaisay Jaltay Hein
Dard Kaisay Hota Hai
Koi Kaisay Rota Hai
Ashq Kia Hai Nalay Kia
Dasht Kia Hai Chalay Kia
Aah Kia Fughaan Kya Hai,
Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay
Sheher Ke Dukandaron,
Sheher Ke Dukandaron

How wounds fester,
how the brand stings,
What is pain and what lament,
wilderness, sore feet,
what a sigh and what a plaint
you will never know.


//Namuraad Dil Kaisay Subah Shaam Kartay Hein Kaisay Zinda Rehtay Hein Aur Kaisay Martay Hein
//Tum Ko Kab Nazar Aayi Ghamzadoon Ki Tanhai Zeest Be-Umaan Kia Hai, Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay
//Sheher Ke Dukandaron, Sheher Ke Dukandaron


Janta Hoon Mein Tum Ko
Zouq-E-Shaiyri Bhi Hai
Shaksiyat Sayjanay Mein
Ik Yeh Mahiri Bhi Hai
Phir Bhi Harf Chuntay Ho
Sirf Lafz Suntay Ho
In Ke Darmiyaan Kya Hai,
Tum Na Jaan Pao Gay

Sheher Ke Dukandaron, Sheher Ke Dukandaron

I know you foam with poetry,
your form of self-embellishment,
but you see only letters and you hear
only words—
and what hides behind them
you will never know!


So  Here we are only half an hour left before the mid night honestly i am fully done here and should have ended it with the song above but 
oh no England after being beaten by scotland is on top of karachi twitter trends Amazing ! or Crazy ? 


So anyways who do you think will join or has the best ranking to join the list of Ramzan controversial RIP this year ....which includes Qandeel Baloch aka Fauzia punjaban , Amjad sabri , Junaid Jamsheed , Aamir Liaqat , Hamza Abbasi etc etc 
Personally i think that Hamza and reham are going neck to neck so it is extremely hard to predict from the two . And this is not the only issue the more important thing is that will they go alone or will they send somebody innocent in their place like the driver or body guard or a plane full of unsung people really nobody ...LOL

Whatever who cares all i am trying to prove here is that its not just writing that is dangerous here being just simple stupid is much more dangerous 

So i believe that it is time for me to end this my the Sunday Blog # 114 ( Hundred and fourteen ) with best wishes and good hopes and a prayer that some how the weather of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world may somehow improve and if it can't be done then at least the hot and hot and humid weather of karachi the most dangerous city in the world should take a holiday on Eid Holidays .... Amen !

While i was looking for the song i was looking for i found this song and video of Madonna and i think it goes with any weather and prayer so here it is enjoy this song because i know you may not be able to enjoy this eid as much ....lol

A very Happy Eid Mubarak to All !! ( ps : now who needs a fahaash eid card after that book reviews . ) 

Allah Hafiz ! 




Madonna - Love Profusion


Love Profusion
There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no resurrection
There is so much confusion
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love vibration
You make me feel
You make it shine
There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love direction
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love intention
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
