Finance Minister eating Daal ....


Sunday 27 January 2019

The Sunday Blog # 147

Today is the Sunday the 27th of January 2019 the 20th of Jamadi ul Awwal 1440 H till the Sunset ( 6:13 pm , Karachi ) and this is my the Sunday Blog # 147( Hundred and forty seven )

Okay so last week i was not able to finish up this my the Sunday Blog # 146 ( Hundred and forty six) in the normal way due to an unbelievable thunder storm , lightening and first winter rain of the year 2019 which caused the first massive power breakdown as well for which Karachi the most dangerous city in the world is so famous .
PS : it has started to rain again Just now after an almost dry week all week .

Okay so where was i ...oh yes ....So the lights went out as expected infact i was so surprised that our power supply remained on for almost half an hour after the rain and thunder started . I knew the power will be gone and it will be gone for hours which normally happens but i did not try to use the data network in the dark to complete and finish up normally . I thought i could do it later on . When the next day i woke up and the power and net was still not back I thought that let it be . But when few hours after everything was back to normal and i sat down on the computer and looked at both the unfinished published this my the Sunday Blog # 146 ( Hundred and forty six ) and the Unfinished Unpublished this my the Sunday Blog # 146 ( Hundred and forty six ) , I thought to my self what the heck ? Anyways after long deliberations I still could not bring my self to the point where i could add the Song Video and lyrics which i usually do at the end of every this my the Sunday Blog -- every week . Not even the song video of the song whose lyrics were already there in the Blog published . Anyways it was fun to be in such a position were i felt even sillier than i usually do while doing an explainable task of a twenty four hours Sunday Blog which sometimes is so crazy that even i cannot read it myself in full in just one go .

So now i will have to make some rules for situations like these especially the FORCE MAJEURES where it is beyond my power to do exactly the same as i have been doing in the past or as a habit .

Usually it is my intention to reflect my state of mind in a very simple and easy way or language which even a shrink can rationalize and say ...Oh yes ...i got that
 . And a Politician feels safe and relaxed that i am just wasting my own time . .. ...It is never my intention to keep driving in the middle of the rational road , Quite often i take a detour right into the emotional ditches or just go hoover boarding either way .
Anyways , no matter what i would still prefer to have the freedom of beginning and ending this my the Sunday Blogs at usual first and last minute of the day and night twenty four hours option . And i don't wish or expect a compromise on that until i complete this third year of perpetual Sunday Blogging in the coming April just ten more Sunday Blogs .  .  . four in February , five in March , one or two in April ...i am not sure right now if the First sunday or the second sunday blog will the third Anniversary Sunday Blog .  But anyways it is in sight so making new rules and drafting a new constitution at this point does not seem very ethical and wise .
Anyways it seems like i have scared off the rain .....yes the drizzle outside has stopped and the tea got cold so left me just get a refill ....don't go away ...i wont take long just a minute or two ....no need to take a break ..just a pause !

Yes the rain has clearly stopped .
Absolutely no idea what is happening . 

Anyways who cares found a new BBC Weather girl just now ...Alina Jenkins

SO the rain is not only disrupting this my the Sunday Blog ...it also ruined PCB teams of taking a lead in the ODI series against the Proteas
1 day ago - Clever batting from Reeza Hendricks and Faf du Plessis handed the Proteas a 13-run D/L method win in the rain-affected match at Centurion ...
Its been too long since the rain saves a day for PCB team ....Honestly i can't even remember when the last time Pakistan got a walk over by the duck worth lewis method in any ODI anywhere ....

Kiwis win first ODI under D/L after Pakistan stumble in the rain - Sport ...

Jan 6, 2018 - New Zealand won the first one-day international againstPakistan with a 61 run lead under the Duckworth–Lewis method as the match was ...

so anyways ...
Today i started a little late because i fall asleep sometime after the ten OClock while watching the tv series on youtube . Since there was not enough time to watch a movie i chose to watch an episode of MacGyver 
hoping to find a full new episode ...i got an older one and even that in the french ...amazing how easily i fall asleep watching it . I will bookmark this episode for a re use when i need it the most . Our cable company is so political that it focus more on the news channels and has totally cut us off from the series , Soaps and Sitcoms channels . Or maybe it is the PEMRA . It is extremely sad that PEMRA gets to hold on to its dictatorial policies even after the tab- dheeli govt of MQM . Anyways who cares as i have now reduced the hours per week of watching television time even further . The total time this past week must have not exceeded more that two hours which is quite amazing . We watch the soaps on internet which cannot be called television . Or can it be ? 
Okay this reminds me of Bill Gates foundation ....are you sure that guy has anything to do with computers ...and internet ?

No i don't thing so ....
This week one fine winter chilly morning as i was enjoying my coffee and over looking on to the street from my usual over the wall position i saw a young lady probably govt school teacher or student doing forced labour as a health worker going door to door with a register and a pen . It looks from the far as if she was tabulating the records or checking them then she wrote on the wall or the door of every house in the neighbourhood . This practice has been going on and on for over a dacade . Don't you think if Melinda and Bill or even Susan and william had any ...even a slightest computer background or if they had so much invested in operating systems worldwide and in the space they would have never sponsored with their hard earned dollars  this medieval system of tabulation and record compilation and specially the continuous and most irritating wall chalking process . If they were ( Melinda and Bill ) who they think they are actually ...i am sure they would have by now introduced and installed some kind of digital tabulation and record  keeping system ...like say a computerized or non computerized digital meter which can keep record of the number of children in the house and the date of polio vaccine . 
3:53 am Break ( 1253 words ) 

4:49 am Okay Boiled and egg ...had it with tea ...Used the hot water for shave ...we are not wasting a single drop of water ....Hope it rains enough to fill up the Hub dam and lakes that supply water to Karachi the most dangerous city in the world and we may not have to get water from the Jacobabad headworks .....Ever ! 

Also had a tikky pack of Prince Chocolate biscuits . Somehow i feel that instead of increasing the price of the tikky pack they reduced the size of the biscuit unfortunately i have no way to confirm it ...because i only buy a new pack when the old one is finished . The British Business are still unsure about the US plans so they are doing Silly things like changing the size of the products or increasing the price of the products . But once we struck oil or gas in the off shore drilling i am sure everything will change for the better ...until then ....i can't help it . Nobody can actually . 

Okay this reminds me that many celebrities kicked the Bucket this week . Like SM Zafar . No no ...not him ...his son died ...a channel showed his death clip instead ...no idea why and then all channels went silent ....so today i checked on the internet and here it is confirmed that not him only his died coming out of the karachi Airport when he had a cardiac arrest was laid to rest in lahore 

3 days ago - LAHORE: Tariq Zafar, son of veteran lawyer and former senator S.M Zafar, passed away on Wednesday because of cardiac arrest.


3 days ago - The handout issued by the CM House on the death of SM Zafar's son actually condoled the death of SM Zafar himself.

No wonder ! 
Another famous artist of PTV era and star of Hassena moin 's Kiran kahani Roohi Bano also passed away in Turkey due to kidney failure

15 hours ago - Television legend and veteran actor Roohi Bano passed away due to kidney failure on Friday. She had been on the ventilator at a hospital in in ...


Also My Maternal Grand Mother's Sister passed away this Thursday due to lungs trouble and post rain pneumonia complications at a local private hospital . her funeral was held after juma prayers and she was laid to rest in our family Graveyard on Tariq Road near my Maternal Grand Mother . Her Soyem is today . May Her Soul Rest in Peace in Heaven Amen !


On Friday as i was coming out of the Mosque after the Juma Prayers ...there was a News Paper boy ( old guy) standing right in the way with some Urdu newspaper having the head line which reads .." if i had to demolish the illegal buildings , i will resign " ...could not read who said this But i thought the mayor waseem must have said it ...later on in the evening i found out who said it from his own mouth as most channels were playing this statement repeatedly . It was mr Saeed Ghani the Minister for local government . Isn't it Ironic that most of the  extortionist of the City and Province are finding their hands in the cookie jar . While the Supreme Court of Pakistan even without the former Chief is insisting on restoring the city according to the forty years old MASTER PLAN .
I really don't think it is now possible to do that ...The Demolitions of Marriage lawns diversion did not work as well ...so how do you suggest these extortionists and gangsters of the city should skulk and save their jobs .
Okay the Fajr azans have started here so i believe its time for me to take a long break after the fajr prayer 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!

Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!

The Karachi trends on twitter this morning has nothing from or about karachi amazing isn't it ? most are about the sports mostly Foodball . Now there is one about an american Master chef who looks like she was from karachi or something ..died very young with a rare bone cancer . RIP
Must have seen her on some tv show or net ...

#Afghanistan is also trending on the karachi trends maybe because the rumour is that Mr President Trump is to announce the Troops withdrawal from Afghanistan very soon Clap clap ....

11:32 am Break ( 2313 words)

12:23 pm Okay had the farangi Breakfast ....and the sunday brunch is totally skipped ...so now i will probably have a lunch or tea ....or maybe snacks during the breaks ....Sister had a visitor and Brother had a long phone call so i peacefully had the breakfast and avoided the Facebook Meetup , fairytales and heated debate ....must be the Solemn Sunday .
Anyways i did not go out for a Winter walk or the Bus Ride Not because i have indigestion or a mood swing or anything ...Its just that i know how bad and slippery it must be after the drizzle and overflowing gutters ( sewers) everywhere especially down town and the post rain viral and bacteria are very harmful and deadly . So if i desperately needed a taste of it i would probably go the mosque and collect my fair share ...Amen !

 LOL
okay so this is what i had for Breakfast today 


 And i was trying to save it for the tea time ...but they insisted ...LOL


 Anyways if everybody went to the funeral Soyem then i will probably get to relax my stomach and have just tea or coffee till supper .
There the first sound of the Azan call can be heard ...even though its not yet 1:00 pm so anyways i need siesta too ...so here i take a Break for Prayer 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!

Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!


12:52 pm Break ( 2627 words)

First ODI Wicket for Mohammad Amir since July 2018



Mohammad Amir traps David Miller, who reviews unsuccessfully, in front! South Africa slip to 140 for 5 #SAvPAK

Sarfaraz gets four-match suspension for breach of Anti-Racism Code icc-cricket.com/media-releases… via
@ICC

DID somebody drop the Proteas in a tube of Jam e Shireen or are they playing Come on Barbie ...tonight ???
Okay i may not have eaten the lunch but somebody did


 Okay the suzuki pickup has arrived for the short time neighbours who came to stay in the neighourhood few months ago for nine month while their house was being upgraded by the Choota Mota Builder  nearby ...You know the Building and Construction industry Big or small is currently a Huge Fail in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world . So the Choota Mota Builder has started some projects like these where instead of wasting money in investment ...he makes money for free or with investing money ....He Builds a house into flats and takes half of the assets ...or if you can afford it ...takes the profit that he would have made from building such a Building ...that way the previous owners gets to keep their property or the share of it ...See the choota Mota builder was not our enemy ...he just wanted to make money quick and easy ...And since now there are curbs on the money laundering  he is looking sideways ....and easy getaways .
He also finds pleasure in doing business with people who did survive his two dacades of  Social work and saab ka faida .
So anyways ...I am not sure what will happen to that house after these neighbours move to their shinny and new flats nearby with separate kitchens and interference i mean saab  ka apna apna cable our internet , electric , gas and water connection , driver , maid and guard ...Zindagi aasaan Mutual Friends Perishan
Okay the game has started the ball has jumped over the wall from the next door i guess ...okay they did not ring the door bell probably found it . But the Door bell time is fast approaching so i better take a break now . It is Unbelieveble that i reached the three thousand words mark before the asr time so i could still go to the soyem or sleep if i wanted to and still finish this my the Sunday Blog # 147 ( Hundred and forty seven ) with over four or five thousand words which is really great .
Okay i don't understand the sound of the ball ...because it is hitting our main gate too often so the cricket is not being played next door it is probably being played on the street ...LOL
Anyways
LOL
Okay the Azans have Started and the Soyem party has not left yet so the Macy's can't tell the Gimbels ...yet ...LOL

Anyways , it is time for me to take a Break for Prayer 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!

Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!

4:50 pm Break ( 3245 Words )

6:02 Had a slice quarter of naan and little quorma ...with a little achar ...
Then had a warm bath and Prayed 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!

Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!


The prayer matt is still on the floor as i am waiting for the Sunset at 6:13 pm and Azan after that ...since there was few minutes left i thought it would be better if i checked the match score ...The Neighbourhood Kids are celebrating with an early Sunday Night Match ...So who get the skippers cap ...? even if its just for the four matches ....only ....
Okay i believe its time for Azan so i take a break with a prayer ....
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!

Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen!

6:12 pm Break ( 3515 words)

Sun 21st Jamadi ul Awwal 1440 H
22°C(
6:54 pm  Good Evening !
So as expected the Shinwari did this ...
very very Predictable ...no i am not going out and especially not for anything that may have any resemblance to the Scottish haggis .
WOW ! that was easy ....LOL
This is the 8th time that South Africa have played on PinkDay and the first time they have lost #SAvPAK


Okay so without wasting anymore time lets move to the Movies of the Week ....


  • Boot the Pigeon (2014)Rated 8 stars ....It is a light hearted fun to watch comedy . ThankGod i survived the desperate years . But you never know ...LOL
  • All in Time (2015)Rated 4 stars ...wanted to rate it a turkey 
  • Keeping Rosy (2014)Rated 6 stars ....So who invented this CCTV camera and survallence thing again ? It is sad that people have already forgotten the sahiwal incident . People have very short memory  . Punjab Police get a new lease of life ...as usual and sarfarz got punished .  
  • Lad: A Yorkshire Story (2013)Rated 5 stars ...I have seen that Pump truck outside the nihari house on tariq road few times ...so i changed my route ...obviously people have tenant issues everywhere ...LOL I agree the kid did not steal it ...LOL
  • Mommy’s Prison Secret (2017)Rated 6 stars ....oh no  all this fuss about just drugs ...i thought she made her do some really bad things ....Anyways nice movie to watch .
  • Winter’s Dream (2018)rated 5 stars ...Oh my  God there are so many losers out there thank God i am not welcome or invited anymore . Amen !
  • Simmba (2018)Rated 5 stars . I am not sure what the film makers wanted ...a copy or better OR just wanted to make a sequel ? if that was what they wanted then they failed on every count twice . 
  • Baazaar (2018)Rated 8 stars . Its been a really long time since bollywood made some likable for my cable guys ...its sad that i got to see it first on the youtube ...Sorry Han ! Both girls did really well in the mens world ...Hats off.
  • 5 Weddings (2018)Turkey ...The people of karachi the most dangerous city in the world are so eager to demolish the wedding lawns and wants a complete ban on this devilish ritual just now i was watching a former extortionist of MQM doing lip service for the wedding lawns owners and unlike the old days when he used to get full media attention only one or two channels covered his live monkey show . The Rich will go to canada or US or far east and have lavish weddings ...but where will the poor people of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world will go and have weddings as there previous generations use to have . It is very sad indeed ....I was seriously thinking of rejoining the club and start attending the weddings of the generation next from this year . Getting there and coming back used to be a very big problem but now we have kareem and uber so it is not an issue at all . I think they should keep the wedding lawns and send everybody who hates it to canada ...Ship .
  • Hook, Line and Sinker (1969) Did not rate it ...it is not as funny as i remember jerry lewis. 
  • Just Breathe (2008)Rated 6 stars . It is amazing how this story of divorce and step mom continues to make money for the film makers and cinema related industry and even cable and television industry . And yet there is not hard and fast solution or law for it ....no counselling no responsibility no nothing every family and child have to go through it in his own way and live through all the same experiences himself or herself . And yet we call ourselves a super intelligent being . 
  • The Guilty (2000)Rated 6 stars LOL just one small tiny itsy bitsy error changes every thing ....how careful can one be ? Never got to use a telephone both what a shame . 
  • No Footing (2009)Rated 8 stars . This week has been great for me ....i am not sure if this is a coincidence or just luck that i got to watch more movies about the people who lost the American Dream or became a certified losers ....I believe i was also going on the same track until this Blogging thing changed everything . Have i crushed the American dream of so many or what ? LOL 
  • Love on the Side (2004)Rated 5 stars . No comment 

 AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE END OF THE MOVIES OF THE WEEK . I have already downloaded some very interesting movies for the next week .

8:45 pm Break ( 4268 words)

10:14 pm Okay so the Question is ....
Can Water meters be used for Polio campaign monitoring and records ?
Okay so i had this during the break ...please don't ask what it is ? Also had tea ...

Should i continue or should i end this my the Sunday Blog # 147 ( Hundred and forty seven ) right here right now and lie down in bed and sleep or watch a movie ....I don't understand why i wants to torture my self for the next one and a half hour till the mid night . Today there will be no thunder storm to saves me and very little chance of power and net shut down as well . Don't know why but the street is too quiet and calm at the moment . No body is playing i guess or if they are i can't hear it . I don't expect there will be many weddings today even if there is no strike or boycott of the weddings as announced earlier against the resignation of the Minister .
How long will it take for him to be fired by the Supreme Court of Pakistan ?

It has been an Amazing week without a Suo Moto by the Chief Justice of the Supreme court of Pakistan ....How does it feel ? does anybody feel that Justice has been denied or delayed . What was the situation where you think that a Suo Moto was much needed and Justice did not prevail .

OKay the Good NEWS from the US is that there was a temporary agreement between the President Trump and the democrats and the Shutdown was should i say ...closed down until further notice . Meaning that the problem still exists and there could be yet another shutdown very soon

So how bad it is for the US economy ...well i am not really sure
US economy lost at least $6 billion during shutdown, according to S&P hill.cm/0CbrWxZ

This guy here tries to explain it But i am still not sure why this shutdown is such a big deal and why does nobody stops the Government from shutdown of the Government . Is it possible that the House or the senate pass a bill or change the constitution and put an end to this shut down option once and for all . And if it is not possible than why make it such a big issue every time . Why can't they stop it from happening so often . How come this shut down does not violates the rights of the US citizen who can make a permanent end to it or at least try to find a long term solution .
Democrats will fight tooth and nail to prevent a reckless shutdown like this from happening again.
Is
Is it true or just a rhetoric ? 
So anyways lets see what happens next ....I think Turmp will win this battle too By the way US Centcom chief gen Votel was here in Pakistan last week . I am sure he was not here for US . He came here to get a safe passage for his troops through Pakistan during the troops withdrawal even though it is a long time coming but preparation has to start way in advance . Okay the time is coming to an end very quickly ...for this my the Sunday Blog # 147 ( Hundred and forty seven )
today i did not get to update about the fairytales ....maybe next week .
God Blaze America !
Allah Hafiz !


Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do | Hosanna (Vidya Vox Mashup Cover)

Mashup Lyrics

Yen idhayam udaithaai norungavey
en maruidhayam tharuven nee udaikave
You’re the light, you’re the night
You’re the color of my blood
You’re the cure, you’re the pain
You’re the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could
mean so much, so much
You’re the fear, I don’t care
Cause I’ve never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you
brought to life, to life
So love me like you do,
love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Yen idhayam udaithaai norungavey
en maruidhayam tharuven nee udaikave
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a
holy grail I’ve got to find
Only you can set my
heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I’ll let you set the pace
Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head spinning around I
can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
So Love me like you do, la-la-love
me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do,
la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Yen idhayam udaithaai norungavey(Love..)
en maruidhayam tharuven nee udaikave.
