The Sunday Blog # 175

Today is the Sunday the 11th of August 2019 , the 9th of Zilhij 1440 H till the Sunset ( 7:10 pm ; Karachi ) and this is my the Sunday Blog # 175 ( Hundred and Seventy Five ) .

Believe it or not ...it has been raining for long here in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world just a day before the Bakra Eid or the Eid ul Azha ...Meaning that ...if it did not stop raining some five or six hours ago ...that is yesterday 8 :00 pm then the Eid Celebrations will be over for many ....

Many Mosques and eid gah ( play grounds used for eid prayers ) will be inundated with rain and sewerage water ...it will be very difficult to pray the eid prayers there ...and even if they somehow prayed the eid prayers ...standing in queue for kachori and samosa snacks will be absolutely impossible ...And if the people of karachi the most dangerous city in the world still managed to get home ...finding the right qassai to slaughter their animals will be very tough . And you know we are only imagining things if it is not raining ....on the eid morning ( monday )  because if it is raining then fifty percent of the people wont even bother to get up ....and increase the percentage if there is no light . Because if there is light during the rain on the eid morning then many will get just to know what is going on in the city and watch television and social media .

And talking of social media ...today's Sunday Blog ..this my the Sunday Blog # 175 ( Hundred and seventy Five) was one of the most challenging Sunday Blog.. of my Whole Sunday Blog series since April 2016 which has been absolutely or should i say obsoletely challenging for MQM ...But never mind that and lets just focus on the non political events and happenings around ....
SO as i was saying ...it was quite challenging for me to be sitting here in  the rain of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world ....where not only humans and their young ones are being drowned , buried under the falling roofs and being electrocuted thanks to an unbelievable electric and cable system and network across the city . Here electric feeders trip and most of the city plunges into darkness with just few drops of rain ...the main supply remains disrupted for hours ....yet people get electrocuted especially the children playing unaware of the larking death
1:06 am ...okay i just felt a surge ...and the Broadband net is gone ....So i am still  surprised how the fan is running ...anyways ....i have done the first five hundred words ...for this my the sunday Blog # 175 ( Hundred and seventy five ) despite the blogger constantly warning

Only God the Almighty Allah Amen ! knows what this means ....

Anyways ...since this is the Bakra Eid or the Eid ul Azha ...most people are much less concerned about the safety of their children during the rain ...they are more worried about the price and built of their sacrifice Animals . After all ...it is the one thing which will will help them cross the bridge of sirat on the day of judgement ....while their children and especially the sons always make them feel they are in hell already .
So anyways the electrical , telephony and Cable Network of karachi the most dangerous city in the world is once again proving the universal fact ...that it is bad and unreliable .

1:45 am Break ( 757 words)

3:06 am Good Morning ! ....it is still raining ....slow and fast ...

So just checking if we still have the road in front or is it the river ....i was shocked to see a free delivery guy standing on the door with his motorbike parked as seen in this picture ...i hurriedly rushed back inside and picked up my mobile to take a picture ...the guy got scared like a cat ...and rushed off hurriedly after delivering the order ....yap ...it was the crazy neighbours ...they usually don't respond that quick ...so i believe that guy must have been waiting in the rain for quite some time ...as i did not hear him park his motorbike ....anyways ...
I just read an awesome verse ....
tum  mere baad hoay ho tanha
mein tere saath bhi akela tha ...تم میرے بعد ہوئے ہو تنہا
میں تیرے ساتھ بھی اکیلا تھا
Okay i believe this time the net is really gone ....the door bell was continuously ringing ...oh sorry lighting ...so i removed the bulb ...and later my dear brother got the grip ...by the way ...everybody is up ...fresh tea was made ...break slice toasted ...also there were two dahi baraaz in the fridge from the yesterday lunch so i had that too ...now lets see if i can still stay up and have the breakfast in about two hours or if i fall asleep in ten minutes and miss the fajr as well . My bet would be to fall asleep in ten or sooner ...

sorry can't add the media here ...without the net ...Today there is no interesting news or event other than the rain ....The Yesterday , Today and most probably Tomorrow has superseded some very important news and events ...like
first of All ...The Bakra Eid ...
Second ..the Independence Day celebrations ...
Hajj ...and why the FM was called Back and Governor Sindh sent instead as the true Representative of the PTi ...
i can't think of the last issue ...that has been subdued by  the rain of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world...
okay never mind ...as long as the heat stroke and manhandled Ms Bukhari by police of Adolph not sure who it is these days here in Pakistan or is it the direct link from the Scotland yard.
Anyways ...so it seems that she is being prepared to waste the time of the Court and NAB Next ...Baji Maryam is won the 12days physics remand so we may only see her after the eid ...i mean the rain ...
in the mean time ....Prices of Everything i buy was increased today except for the Jalebi and namak para ...i was very surprised to see a twenty rupee rise in the per kg price of Dahi ....and Dawn Bread increased from Rs 5 to Rs 10 ....
Sad indeed ....so while i mourn ...and cry and weep ....i take a break ...
the fajr prayer time is still over half an hour away ...but i cannot continue this ...so here i take a break for the prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed 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!

So it seems that the Animals in my neighbourhood are very healthy ...even better down the lane ...and in the block ....they seems to be really enjoying the the rain ...no body is dying here not in this rain ....i can't say the same about the people after the eid feast ....The pharmaceutical companies and distributors are trying to make us happy ...very much ...i am sure they hope to make very huge profits this Eid ul Azha ....

Time for a short break .....

4:39 pm Break (2079  words)

Allah Hafiz !


Sun 10th Zilhij 1440H
31°C
9:45 pm Good Evening ! 
No i did not go out ...the rain had stopped ...but it was drizzling ...So i prayed at home 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!

 and had dinner soon after ...
After dinner i lie down to watch the rain misery of the people of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world ...and fall asleep ...had no dream ...the stiff muscles relaxed ...there is still sleep in the eyes ...but i had a slice of Mango and the pastry and came here ... oh this reminds me ...my cup of tea left on the table ...wait let me microwave it and bring it here ...pause

yes ...so the slice of mango i had a little while ago is either plastic ....or somebody painted a raw mango kerri yellow ...maybe its a new breed of sugar-free mangoes imported from south china sea area ....because ...i don't recall ever having a soft and yellow fruit taste like this and especially not the once that use to grow on our home mango tree ....is it a curse ?

10 :00 pm ....means i have two more hours to go ...today i began very uncertain and look how far we have come ....two thousand five hundred plus words on the words counter ...plus i have to post the lyrics of the youtube song( ghazal ) of Mr Habib wali Mohd ...گوارا کرتے ہیں – قمر جلالوی



کب میرا نشیمن اہلِ چمن گلشن میں گوارا کرتے ہیں
غنچے اپنی آوازوں میں بِجلی کو پکارا کرتے ہیں



اب نزع کا عالم ہے مجھ پر ، تم اپنی محبت واپس لو
جب کشتی ڈوبنے لگتی ہے تو بوجھ اُتارا کرتے ہیں



جاتی ہوئی میّت دیکھ كے بھی اللہ تم اُٹھ کر آ نہ سکے
دو چار قدم تو دُشمن بھی تکلیف گوارا کرتے ہیں



بے وجہ نہ جانے کیوں ضِد ہے اُن کو شبِ فُرقت والوں سے
وہ رات بڑھا دینے كے لئے گیسو کو سنوارا کرتے ہیں



پونچھو نہ عرق رخساروں سے ، رنگینیِ حُسْن کو بڑھنے دو
سنتے ہیں كہ شبنم كے قطرے، پھولوں کو نِکھارا کرتے ہیں



کچھ حُسْن و عشق میں فرق نہیں ، ہے بھی تو فقط رُسوائی کا
تم ہو كہ گوارا کر نہ سکے ، ہم ہیں كہ گوارا کرتے ہیں



تاروں کی بہاروں میں بھی قمر ، تم افسردہ سے رہتے ہو
پھولوں کو تو دیکھو کانٹوں میں ، ہنس ہنس كے گزارا کرتے ہیں

Kab mera nasheman ahl-e-chaman gulshan mein gawara kartay hein
Ghunchy apni aawazoon mein bijli ko pukara karaty hein
Poncho na araq rukhsaroon say rangeeni-e-husn ko barhny do
Suntey hein k shabnam k qatry phoolon ko nikhara kartay hein
Jaati hui mayat dekh k bhi lillah tum uth ka aa na sakay
Do chaar qadam to dushman bhi takleef gawara kartay hein
Ab naza ka alam hay mujh per tum apni mohabbat wapis lo
Jab kashti doobnay lagti hay to boojh utara kartay hein
kuch husn-o-ishq mein farq nahi hai bhi tu faqat ruswai ka
tum ho k gawara kar na sakay hum hein ke gawara kertay hein
Taroon ki baharoon mein bhi qamar tum afsurda kyun rahtay ho
Phoolon ko to dekho hans hans k kaanton mein guzara kartay hein



Papa ( May his soul rest in peace in janna Amen ! ) hated this song ...I was astonished once when he told someone in an angry voice to turn off the television while this song was on ....astonished because he was very fond of urdu poetry ....But then there were some moral issues about the poets of his time which turned him away from the poetry of the some poets ...it is very common in every era ...most artistic works are judged by the character of the Artist and not by the work alone ....
The strange thing is that even at that young age ...i sensed that Papa ( may his soul rest in peace in janna Amen !) was disturbed not by the singer or the music i knew instantly that it was about something in the lyrics ....
Later on somebody told me that he hate this song because his younger brother who passed away young use to like or sing it ....often ..or something like that ...

Anyways there was a very solid reason for sharing this song today ....in the first Sunday Blog after his 12th Death Anniversary fateha ...can't say much ...but as the British say ....Anything goes !!

Maybe the next Wasiq1Wise may help ...understand ...

The Landline is Dead ....and the Deadline is imminent ...So who's fault will it be ...if the rain stops .

Wasiq1Wise :132 



need a break here ...
11:00 pm Break ( 3025 words)


11:23 pm Okay

So the Mayor of Karachi the most dangerous city in the world is still having a picnic with PTi leadership ...I believe the cafe piyala was off closed today ....no instagram with gram gram hot tea ...can be seen on the twitter or social media ...oh yes the governor probably pays ...for the party their and he is on summer vacations ...while the city and subha drowns ....

Centre, Sindh lock horns over acting governor appointment

The Nation-06-Aug-2019
The President on Monday granted a 10-day leave to the incumbent Sindh Governor Imran Ismail, who is due to perform Hajj and return to the ...


PTi has not shown any leadership ...especially in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world ....they can't just blame the dead MQM and dying PPP for the rain havoc ....and especially the death ....Even if he paid from his own pocket or party funds which i so doubt ...The Governor of Sindh cannot be excused for taking a ten days leave and leave the mess for rest ....people to suffer and die .... Thou shalt be accountable ...sooner that you think ...Insha Allah !

So now you know that the phone landline is dead ...and the door bell is completely gone ...the net has been ignored otherwise it has been acting ...really bad ....But one thing i noticed just now is that the free food delivery is often seen outside on the street ...when  ever i look out ...including the ice cream and other vendors ....so even though my brothers and sisters blame the same old people for this de communications ...but i always look for the new vested interests ....and you know what ...i thing the free food delivery Apps are among the top three culprits on my blame list ....the last call was made to a fast food restaurant ...from the landline ....obviously the food delivery app spying on that fast food restaurants customers ...knew we would be forced to turn to them for food delivery .....

the second on the list ...


they benefit a lot from landline and cable closure ....

 still working on the third ...so maybe later ...

okay the its time for me to say good Bye and have some supper ...no need to stay awake and pray for water ...there is so much water everywhere ...even the cows are spraying ....

Praiseth the Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen !

 still not sure about the sacrifice .... i do have the money ...and i can spare it for God too ...but the thought of not doing Qurbani for Allah and being Qurban by the qassai ...a big turn off ....so please all those who are doing it weigh your meat and calulate the price ...if it is more than the retail price ....then judge yourself ....

Allah Hafiz !

Alif Allah, Jugni Lyrics – Arif Lohar & Meesha Shafi, Coke Studio

alif allah chambe di booti
mere murshid mann wich laai – hu
nafi asbaat da paani de ke
har rage har jaai – hu
jug jug jeeve mera murshid sohna
hath jis eih booti laai – hu
peer meriya – jugni ji
ae we allah waaliyaan di jugni ji
ae we nabi paak di jugni ji
ae we maula ali waali jugni ji
ae we mere peer di jugni ji
ae we sar-sabaz di jugni ji
dam gutkoon dam gutkoon
dam gutkoon gutkoon kare saaeen
ae te kalma nabi da parhe saaeen
peer meriya – jugni ji
ae we allah waaliyaan di jugni ji
ae we nabi paak di jugni ji
ae we maula ali waali jugni ji
ae we mere peer di jugni ji
ae we sar-sabaz di jugni ji
jugni tar khaaeen wich thaal
chad duniya de janjaal
kuchh neen nibhna bandiyaan naal
jugni tar khaaeen wich thaal
chad de duniya de janjaal
kuchh neen nibhna bandiyaan naal
rakheen saabat sidq amaal
peer meriya – jugni ji
ae we allah waaliyaan di jugni ji
ae we nabi paak di jugni ji
ae we maula ali waali jugni ji
ae we mere peer di jugni ji

othe ro ro kamli hoi
ohdi vaat nai lainda koi

dam gutkoon dam gutkoon

dam gutkoon dam gutkoon
wanggaan charha lo kuriyon
mere daata de darbaar diyaan
