Today is Sunday the 30th of June 2019 the 26th of Shawwal 1440 H till the Sunset ( 7:25 pm : Karachi ) And this is my the Sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty Nine ) .
Can you believe this ...? Pakistan did not lose their match against any team since Sunday Last when they won against the South Africa ...after that they won against the So far unbeaten New Zealand on Wednesday and last night or tonight that passed ....they beat the Afghanistan ...on Saturday .
And to my greatest Surprise and shock ...Pakistan is in the Fourth Place in the points ranking .....this Sunday Morning .....a dream that every Pakistani would wish may never end .
And talking of dreaming ....The Present government Passed or got passed the First annual budget and finance Bill from the National Assembly despite the opposition sticking to its guns and saying we wont let it pass .
Congratulations Mr Prime Minister Imran Khan and his Team . !!
Today is the Last Day of the Month so a petrol Bomb must be ready by now and will explode by the time i have finished this my the Sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty Nine ) So maybe i will mention it again before the closing ...and talking of closing ...the State Bank of Pakistan has announced and Holiday on the First of July 2019 as Bank Holiday . Honestly the way the State Bank , The FBR and Present Government Of Pakistan is handling the Banking in Pakistan ...Most Banks will go on a " Permanent " Holiday very soon . It was my understanding that international monetary Fund and the United Nations encourage every citizen of the world to have a bank account and savings . But the present Government of Pakistan and its central Bank the State Bank is making such harassment policies which suggests that they have an agenda of their own . And they do not want to follow the Fund guidelines just in case the condition of the economy improves soon and they wants to get rid of the Fund and other international agencies then they will need some basic indicators that would prove the fund failed .
Invasion of Privacy is not a child's play it is a very serious matter ....Mind it !
1:31 am Break ( 365 words)
5:45 am Good Morning !
the break was not intended to be this long ....But soon after i realized that i cannot stay up and i need to sleep it off ...I did managed to wake up before four am but even then most of my body was not , so i lie down and fall asleep again and woke up again at five am . prayed 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!

okay i am not sure about the chaapa today ...all i know is that I should not eat for as long as i can ...to not fall asleep again . Honestly i am so drowsy at the moment that i cannot even open my eyes properly ..but the dedication and commitment to my passion is keeping me going on doing this my the sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty nine ) .
The week went not according to the plan ...mostly stayed home and did not go out at all until the weekend ( friday ) . Because of the heat ...the only motivation in my life ...Food is also not working . So all i did this week was Eat , good and sleep and watched the movies and the match . Wow some might say what a life ...I myself say that ...its no big deal . But that is not me . And if i had not been living in this the most dangerous city in the world ,Karachi , i would definitely had a very different life . Very hard , very tough ...very agile and restless . But over the years i have learned my self to calm and relax . rarely do i react to thousands of Breaking News . Mobile SMS alerts and the market and city shutdown notice by various political , religious and social groups and mafias with street power and strength . Every time i survive a strike or shutdown call i pray and Thank the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen !
Honestly Karachi the most dangerous city in the World , has grown so much over the years both in land development and population growth that now it is extremely difficult for anyone to fully control it or force it to protest and shutdown . In its Last days as i remember , the London Mafia , three years ago was unable to shut down Karachi the most dangerous city in the world as it used to a few years earlier . or way back in time . It was kind of becoming a joke that a complete shutdown called for an indefinite period was usually called off by three or four pm and the rest of the day seems just like a normal business day of the week . As if the Hustle Bustle of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world was disturbing the sleep of home and foreign office in London . So on some important occasions and events not known to us , they made sure that we do not start before they are up from sleep and ready to face us and the world .
It is absurd ...just the thought of it ...Because Karachi the most dangerous city in the world already had double or triple shifts . and factories and industrial units cover up the time lost by over time . So this shutdowns only disrupted schools and offices . Most eateries and food streets and restaurants and the related business open in the evening already . Anyways its no use remembering those days now .
Aha ...i did the first thousand words so now i can take a break ...

11:10 am Good Morning !
Yes this is so unbelievable ....i fall asleep again ....for hours ...and the eyes have dried Mucus ....causing the blurred vision
Thick Crusty Mucus
Blepharitis is sometimes caused by a bacteria found on your skin. The bacteria may grow and infect the eyelids and eyelashes, causing redness and inflammation. The eyelids may also thicken and form dandruff-like scales on the lids and lashes.
Oh no the bactriria is getting stronger again ....and all i need is the market yogurt , lassi and dahi baray ...to survive in this heat ...so what to do ....I have also reduced the post ramzan visit to the mosque to just once a week for Juma Mubarak ...prayers ...where i usually get to stand next to a halwai ...or their gurads ...i believe last week the guy standing next to me was smelling like a dough ...pure and desi ghee ....Since childhood i use to go the mosque smelling nice and after a half hour long shower ....these days i come home from the mosque and try to wash and bath with whatever water is available ....to feel nice and clean ...use Anti bacteria Soap instead of the Beauty Soap ....I have no idea why people consider land development and especially the Land Re- development a blessing ....
Anyways ...i think i must have forgot to wash and bath after coming back from the mosque this friday or maybe it was the two extra visits to market and the market oven bread ...i had more than once ...or the takeaway food i had couple of times ...Anyways today i am having a lot of difficulty doing this my the Sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty Nine ) because i am laden with Bactria inside out ....
Anyways ...i did manage to control my self and did not do the breakfast after fajr or the break after that ...But when i woke up again at ten ...a Halwa Brunch was ready on the table ....with pakora and roghni roti and tea and falsa juice ...

Yes this is so unbelievable ....i fall asleep again ....for hours ...and the eyes have dried Mucus ....causing the blurred vision
Thick Crusty Mucus
Thick crusty mucus on your eyelids and eyelashes may be caused by a condition called blepharitis. 2
Blepharitis is often treated by applying warm compresses followed by eyelid scrubs. Eyelid scrubs can be performed in several different ways. The eye is closed and scrubbed with the washcloth using a gentle back and forth motion. Baby shampoo is recommended because it does not sting your eyes.
Anyways ...i think i must have forgot to wash and bath after coming back from the mosque this friday or maybe it was the two extra visits to market and the market oven bread ...i had more than once ...or the takeaway food i had couple of times ...Anyways today i am having a lot of difficulty doing this my the Sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty Nine ) because i am laden with Bactria inside out ....

Yes Abstinence is not easy .....
So anyways ...i need to wash my eyes again ...and also need a refill for the tea cup plus check the caller id of phone that rang few minutes ago ...
11:58 am Break ( 1489 words)
12:56 pm ....almost time for the prayer break ...
the day before yesterday and seems to have shrunk ....No honey ...i have nothing to do with it ....i also eat the same thing yesterday evening with dinner ...but maybe the Pulao saved me ...from shrinking or disappearing ....
You can see there is Pepsi Black No regrets ...in the pictures ...which is a very recent thing in our neighbourhood ...so you can't say it is an old one ....So i think now it will be believed that i had good food this week . And tomorrow is a State Bank Holiday to commemorate My dearly Departed Ammi ( May her soul rest in peace in Janna Amen ! ) 's Fifth death Anniversary .... 2014 .. 2015..2016..2017..2018 ...2019 ...Although we had the fateha in Ramzan according to the Lunar Calender ...But we usually do remember her on this day too and offer fateha when and how we can ...Last year i remember ...and it is also in the Facebook memories reminders today ...
I brought this few hours early ...because i wasn't sure if i would be able to go out the next day being a Sunday .... My Sunday Blog ...Election rallies and Markets opening very late ...and the petrol Bomb ...my morning mood tweet and the Sunday Blog # 117 ( hundred and seventeen) from that day last year ...
10:48 am Good Morning !

10:38 am must have woke up early because the weather outside is still mostly cloudy and windy cool . Had tea no breakfast ...not even sweet meat . watched the news . Almost all channels are reporting about the increase in oil prices. So eighty rupees
A year has gone by ....a lot has changed over this year ....both corporeal and non corporeal for the very legal minded readers of this my the Sunday Blogs....
The most interesting thing that happened ...well there has been a series of most interesting things and i believe i have discussed most of them here ....in the fifty plus Sunday Blogs every sunday mid night to midnight ...twenty four hours ....long ...So lets come down to this weeks most interesting and related thing ...
My dear elder Brother who has been upset with the Kurashi community of the town and the city or the vice versa ...for quite some time ...and recently the dissatisfaction grew so much that we saw some major events like fateha and eid dinner without a Mutton Pulao ...And i was planning to bring the cooked Mutton from the Burns road food street for tomorrow ...when to my greatest surprise ...i saw him coming yesterday after noon with a Bag of Fresh Mutton pieces packed in the usual white tray and plastic roll sheets ...from the famous international meat franchise outlet i can swear was not there a week ago ...and definitely not there where he says it is now ....almost open ....can't deny because he even brought the inaugural candy with him .
Jazak Allah !
I do hope and pray that this outlet is here to stay and that it will solve all my meat problems for the years to come or atleast as long as i am here in this Jamshed town ,,,Amen !
Okay so here i take a 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!
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!

4:28 pm ...My fastest tweet ever ....
first five minutes response ....
So when i had the Brunch this morning ...between ten and eleven ...somehow i knew ...there will be lunch ...and a serious one ....so yes i had lunch and now i am sitting here like the statue of liberty ...if i moved ...i will fall ....fall asleep and may miss everything ...so even when the vision is less than 30 % ...i am sitting and doing this my the Sunday Blog # 169 ( Hundred and sixty nine )
Wow Double century in ten minutes ....
Anyways ....the lunch
Now you know what i was talking about ....
okay The People of Pakistan today are extremely divided ....on the one side are the cricket fans ....and on the other side are the undecided ....
Similarly ....the Cricket fans are extremely divided .....On the one side are those who wants Pakistan to have a safe place in the First four ...even after today's game ... On the other side are the undecided ....
LOL
First minute hits ..........
Triple century in 2 minutes ...................
anyways ...i believe that its Asr time ....and the burning hot sun must be going down ....before setting ...the Cool Sea Breeze will take over and make the weather of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world ....a blessing ...
So i guess i should also take a break here and enjoy the game ...the tea ... and relax ...or just lie down and close my eyes which are already more than half closed due to the Blepharitis .
I will try to be back but i am not very sure ....
So here i take a break for the 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!
5:35 pm Break (2557 words)
6:58 pm This week i watched an old ....very old classic movie ....The Tamarind Seed (1974) a lorimar production that was a few months older than me but passed away way earlier ....anyways ....the movie starring ...Omar Sharif and julie andrews is about the cold war intelligence and espionage . The So called west vs the communist ....the true blue vs the Tamarind Seed ....I really don't understand the relation here and the story that this movie shrugs off as a fairy tale ...yet .....the story of a slave who was hanged from a tamarind tree and how that tree has since borne seeds in the shape of a human head. .....
Don't understand it ...But somehow i am sure that this was not the first time i watched this movie ...i must have watched before clinged to my Ammi's ( May her soul rest in peace in Janna Amen! ) bosom or on her laptop ...when i was very young ....Anyways Tamarind tree and the tamarind seeds have always been a part of my life .....
Time for the 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!
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!

Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke - 2 Manzil Muskil to kya, Bundla Sahil to kya, Tanha Ye Dil to Kya Ho Hooo Raah Pe Kante Bikhre agar, Uspe to phir bhi chalna hi hai, Saam Chhupale Suraj magar, Raat ko ek din Dhalana hi hai, Rut ye tal jayegi, Himmat rang layegi, Subha phir aayegi Hoooo Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke, Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke - 2 Hogi hame to rehmat ada, Dhup kategi saaye tale, Apni khuda se hai ye Dua, Manzil lagale humko gale Zurrat so baar rahe, Uncha Ikraar rahe, Zinda har pyar rahe Hoooo Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke, Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke -
