The Sunday Blog # 186

Today is the Sunday the 27th of October 2019 , the 27th of Safar 1441 H till the Sunset ( 5:55 pm ; Karachi ) And this is my the Sunday Blog # 186 ( hundred and eighty six) .

So Today i begin this my the Sunday Blog # 186 ( Hundred and eighty six) with a very good and promising News and that is that Our Former Convicted Unconvicted Jailed Bailed rearrested Panama listed etc etc dethroned Prime minister Is finally serious .
Yes the whole week our lifafa ( envelop ) media had their radars set on his blood . At first it seemed that he is no more ...and his daughters are being brought from jails both here and london to do the final rituals ...But then they break the news that instead of the daughters , the punjab police picked up a bone marrow expert from karachi the most dangerous city in the world , to check is blood white cell or what the media loves to call the plateletes
Platelets are produced in the bone marrow, the same as the red cells and most of the white blood cellsPlatelets are produced from very large bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes

The irony is that all this week most people of lahore and punjab do not have the proper medical care because of the doctors and para medical staff strike ....


Anyways ...Google hai na ....so who care if the doctors and para medical staff is on strike or not ...

But you know ...one thing is for sure ....Just like the term pletelets and their normal count in a normal human body to live or die is a common knowledge in this country ...we must give some credit to the media ....not only every jaywalking street wise and rickshaw driver knows is for sure ...even the Punjab health minister and federal information minister knows and makes no mistakes about it .

And now to the latest ....
Medical board of the prince of Panama at the services Hospital lahore has about nine plus ...non striking doctors from all over the country including the infamous Doctor Adnan the family doctor . So you can imagine that no pundit can predict an upset at the bottom of the tenth on a holi night . Sorry diwali night .

By the way it is rumoured that as his condition improved and he saw Mariyam at his bed side he suffered an angina heart attack ....which he survived ....but the harsh Nab and high court judges could not and allowed Bail and have given an indication that they are willing to allow the patient in this condition to fly away ...Funny isn't it ...the PMLN emplyees of the week distributed sweets outside the court ...on Friday . Sweets and PMLN workers ....have a very bad history ....they should avoid it at all costs .
And talking of PMLN ....mr CPEC iqbal the SG seems very determined that he will take the reigns of the party ....and the country ....
ya i like leadership ....
and the chote Sharif is trying deals for himself and his family and especially mr Hamza shabaz and the others....so i don't think he is very much interested in the power politics at the moment .

And After all mein damaad hon ....yes mr safdar mariyam nawaz is playing his cards well ...he has links and roots ...i am sure he will remain in the news for a very long time to come ....and may even join the MQM govt of Pti and become a minister some day ....LOL

The Plan of Islamabad dharna suffered a major setback this week ...it is believed that US pulled the troops from Afghanistan to support Turkey in Syria .

the Price of egg is very stable so far ....but the price of peanut is not yet available ...so i will try to find and share by the end of this my the Sunday Blog # 186 ( hundred and eighty six ) .

Saien Zardari and his dear sister faryal kept a very low profile this week ...but party remains very tense and especially the Sindh police .
The president of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi returned from the coronation of the new emperor of Japan Naruhito after making it to the Royal banquet he has pictures to prove it with his wife .
The CIA has not yet confirmed the real reasons of this usual dethronement of a living emperor ...and they thought i was an expert on shogan dynasty .....


Okay ...i have not prayed yet ....the Isha prayer 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!


2:07 am Break ( 834 words )

3:28 am Yes i prayed and recited as well ....My Quran recital is almost finished ...just finished the 29th para . just one left ...so i guess i will try to finish it tomorrow or the day after ...and then i will bring jalebi and offer fateha for my dearly departed Uncle Chacha saab ...who passed away a year ago in florida on the 28th of October 2018 and was buried on the 30th of October 2018 . Not Sure about home town ...but mine was in a mess ....We tried to have his soyem on the 1st of November 2018 . But there was protests and strikes all over the city . Most schools were closed ...punjab police was in a mess ...it was the issue of the supreme court on the blasphemy case .
Anyways ...his last lunch here in Pakistan almost has the same crowd ...so no smiles here ....it was a very sad day for him ...he waited all day for his daughter ...who did not show up and gave a lame excuse on the phone .
Anyways ...Flickr has deleted all my albums or i would have shared what we had that day for lunch and also what we had for his soyem fateha last year ...I hate Flickr for now and in protest i am not opening or converting my free account to pro for few dollars ....yes ....this is the time ...i when have a God the All Mighty Allah Amen ! sent opportunity to be ...Penny Wise !!!
LOL !

Believe it i am so out of junk food tonight ...had to drink the tea ...all alone ...yet again especially made for me ...Thankyou !
So while i was having tea a little while ago and watching tv news tickers ...about how the punjab police lost a good chance to body search the doctors and nurses at the services hospital lahore ...after the serious convict signed the jail roster ...
my cable tv lost power ...and i thought that both cable tv and Broadband is gone for a week ...especially with the news of a thunder storm coming ....But somehow the net is working better than before ...and have not yet blinked for a moment . Cable tv is not back yet ....it is a very rare event ...because usually its the net that goes off and the cable tv remains ....unless ...

OKay So now the cyclone off the coast near Karachi the most dangerous city in the world , is named Kyarr ...sounds American of south indian origin ...lol
So the weather here outside is very funny at the moment ...occasional cool breeze sometimes stormy high winds ...temperature inside is still the same ,,,,and the sky is very starry ...i can see the orion stars my favourite right over my head ...So once more we wont get the real thing but first we had the hottest october and now the november rain and ditches ...mud pools ...and the same ruins on karachi the most dangerous city in the world after the rain bashing ...
And talking about rain bashing ....Gujrat and mumbai is also not getting the real thing only the rain bashing ....but at least they get the rain more and survive it ...we get less rain and seems to fall apart .
So this is going to be a very interesting Happy Halloween here in karachi the most dangerous city in the world .

And that is how the google weather update predicts ...my weather ...

Scattered thunderstorms for Friday ....1st of November ......my dear elder sister sees Jewish conspiracy ....against happy Birthdays ....in the family ...and blames the Exxon Mobil  drilling in kakra 1 near Karachi the most dangerous city in the world . This is just not it ....Both China and US have been upto no good all across the coastline on both sides of Arabian sea and indian ocean ...as well as their military exercises continues

Chinese team disqualified for 'extensive cheating' at Military World Games

Oh GOD ...the sehri time is over ....see how time flies when you are having fun
 ....
OKay the fajr time in the mosque time table clock as i can remember from when i visited this friday for Juma Prayer ...was 6 :00 am i am sure of it ....means that there is more than half an hour left for me to do this my the sunday blog # 186 ( Hundred and eighty six ) before the long break ...
Not sure about the chaapa ...today ...and if i sleep after the sunrise ...at 6:36 am ....there is no way i could get up and brush my teeth before the noon ...and honestly i wont be surprised if i sleep till zuhr azan or even after ...the only question that worries me right now is to keep the fan open or closed ....because they it is right now ...chances are that the temperature may rise again after the sun rise ...hot and sunny sunday morning ...and all day ...see this is what is happening ...that is why they shut down the cable tv ...everybody panicked by the social media turns to the tv and finds nothing about the weather so they get upset and loose trust on the lifafa media ...which is so bad for the MiV .
 So anyways .....One of the most interesting thing that happened last night was that after eating the mutton hooves with khichri ...my forehead remained very dry ...and it still is ...even after having lots of tea ...
So no matter what the weather girls wears ...for diwali , the Halloween or the Kartarpur Anniversary ...Its Winter ! 

 I believe doctors saab wont have any objection to this oil free Mutton paya ( hooves ) It has about ten cups of water instead of the three cups of water as suggested by the commercial Masala packet instructions and method .
the most interesting thing i find on the masala packet instruction was that Hooves were mentioned by weight and not by quantity as we usually buy them at the butcher shops here ....I think there is more water in the plate because the packet masala was for atleast a dozen mutton hooves ...and we had only four ...which may be not more than half kg ...while the weight mentioned on the box instructions was about 1 - 1 & 1/2 kg ...
Anyways ...they are good ...and we will probably see than again during the meals today or the coming week ...

Too much of something is bad enough
But something's coming over me to make me wonder (ooh)
Too much of nothing is just as tough
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied (ooh)


OKay i believe i am pushing my luck by continuing this my the sunday Blog # 186 ( Hundred and eighty six) so close to the prayer time ....the Broad band Net will be gone any minutes now ....seems like the cable guys has converted to a new religion ....recently ...LOL
So without any further fuss ...i must take a break ...for sleep and before that prayers 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!


5:57 am Break ( 2072 words)

12:58 pm Good Morning ...! its a beautiful but hot Sunday afternoon ...its almost time for the zuhr prayer ...But since i had the net so i thought that first i resume this my the Sunday Blog # 186 ( Hundred and eighty six ) and then pray and have Snnday Brunch .

So first the morning tweet ...

33°C 
12:23 pm Good Morning ! Happy Diwali ! Been up for about an hour but not fully awake . As expected the Cable tv is still out . Net some how working strange There is a strange kind of bread and butter on the table for breakfasts had tea only


Have seen this non corporative bread after a very long time...ususally i buy ( purchase ) bread from the super store ...which do not have this Non corporative bread ..they even have the cakes and cup cakes from the company sarkar ...No ofourse not i am not eating it ...who knows what's in it ...and the butter brand is also different ....What is going on here ....Anyways ...i kind of like their web site header ...the neighbours would kill me if i did the same ....LOL

They have a video loop header on their web site very tempting ...and cannot be shared here ...
Nurpur 
So anyways .. in winter the Butter melts so quick ...i wont know the difference ...only the rapidly increasing prices have made it harder for the buyers and sellers ...there is absolutely no price control ...and the pti twitter ville is absolutely silent about it ...but everybody is restless ...What could possibly hurt me in few months ...is definitely hurt the masses right now ...and after the Musharraf and Shukria Raheel Sharif ...the people of Pakistan has given up looking up at the you know ...So i have no idea ...what is going to happen next .


OKay then time for a Lunch . Brunch and prayer break Break ...also need a break to fully get up and be able to see ...my eyes were and still are half shut ...hopefully i will be able to see better after i take a bath and have something to eat ....and clear the throat and Nose and ears and eyes ....

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!


1:47 pm Break ( 2586 words)

Sun 28th Safar 1441 H
33 C
6:59 pm Good Evening !

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Dead ! 
Trump confirms ....fitay moo dono ka !!

Okay the Cable Tv has been restored without complaint ....how is that even possible ..i am not sure ....how many times they have done this ...but best one so far was the time when they restored the cable tv to give Junaid jamshed breaking news ....i will never forget that ....also the time they blocked the news of Bahria town tragedy ....Eidi sab kay lian ....















9:19 pm So i had a break ...and had some very untimely meals ...Thanks to the continuous Net disruptions ...First i decided to take a long break and sleep ....but just as i lie down to sleep ....i heard some kitchen activity ....a facebook meetup and azan for prayer ...again i decided ...and lie down ...and the same things repeat ....So ...anyways ...now i think that i am almost done for the day ....and over fed and sleepy so i better end this my the sunday blog # 186 ( hundred and eighty six ) and enjoy the rest of the Sunday ...or eat and sleep ...oh ..i think i should not eat anymore ...strange ..i have eaten both chicken and beef ...oily and greasy and lots of hot tea ..fried peanuts etc etc ...and yet my forehead is dry clean ...no i am not at all feeling cold or chilly ....the winds have also stopped ...and the sky is almost clear starry ...And here are my food pics ...

Home cooked Chicken Qorma ...and beef rolls from the OLD pre Food Panda BBQ on tariq road ....can you imagine how many hours of my past fifteen years have i wasted on this BBQ ....My dearly departed Ammi ( May her soul rest in peace in Janna Amen ! )  loved it ....so every time she order i had to go ....But ever since she passed away i stopped going ...infact i have reduced the BBQ contents in my food and meals ...And then since there has been that lahori Ghada ( donkey meat ) scare by the lifafa media ......food items with beef are totally avoided ...even Nihari ...it has been a totally chicken year ...for the take away food and free delivery . But now they have come up with a novel teaser ... Dog and frog meat used by fast food joints ....in DHA 2 Karachi the most dangerous city in the world . Now i have no idea if it is really true ...or just a political and trade gimmick ...And imagine amid these non halal food scares ...how can one trust the online delivery Apps like food Panda ..etc . Anybody who cannot find a job anywhere ...can join their team ...and who knows ...what ...So my new years resolve will be to eat less and ...on time ....and avoid the online food apps . ...Honestly ...i will be so glad if i followed at least one of the above ...for the first few months of the new year .

Okay there is no net ...tell me something new ...

Ah wow ...the awesome smell ...aroma of the Khichra ...cooking ...in the kitchen ....the more i try to have a relaxed kitchen Sunday ...the more ...interrupted power supply( KE) and Cable and Broadband ( Worldcall )   disruptions .....and News of Canada wali Aunty ...Falling apart , falling Down ...falling  ... increases the kitchen activity .
Khichra which is much harder to cook than simple haleem ....and take more time to cook ...and mix and blend ...Our dear cooking mafia has done it all in less than two hours since the call from 014 - Number came about two hours ago ...
This is just not it ...i am sure my dear niece and nephew two towns away would be surprised today ...after my dear younger sister who does cooking in slow motion would have prepared the chicken in if not half time at least before time ....than usual  after receiving the call from 014 number ...and chatting with the same canada / seattle wali aunty ...

you don't believe me do you .....
see i posted these pictures two hours ago ...on my facebook ...

And this is just now .....
 while i was here posting ...i heard the mixing process started ....

Now i am not a psychologist .....but still ...this is one of the most interesting phenomenon in my life ....

okay Selfie time ....
Almost there ...before the Full and Final mixing ....and then blending ....

 LOL !

do i smell the  incense sticks ....?  oh no ....fateha ...florida time ....!!
ouch ! that hurts .....
i need to take an emergency break here .....

10:58 pm Break ( 3334 words)

11:25 pm 
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah Amen ! ......
And i promise i will never ever again miss him .....Amen !

OKay very little time left ...so first the movies of the week ....

okay so no time left for the Geo entertainment Soap serials ...Better Luck next time .... LOL !

 OKay so it is time now to wrap up ....this my the sunday blog # 186 ( Hundred and eighty six )....

now the question is how is the net and cable working so good and fast after the 014 number call ....can't it have been like this all night and day and night on just one day Sunday ....?

So here i end this my the Sunday Blog # 186 ( hundred and eighty six ) with a verse of poetry ...my dearly departed Uncle of Florida once wrote on our Phone directory ....

نہ ہم بدلے نہ تم بدلے نہ دل کی آرزو بدلی
میں کیسے اعتبارِ انقلابِ آسماں کر لوں
Na Hum badley ...Na tum badley ....na dil ki aarzoo badli
Mein kaisey Atebaar Ay inquilaab Ay Aasmaan kar loun .......

All the Best .....

Lyrics


Leili leili
...
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
I dream of rain
Elei eleeh
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
Elei eleeh
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Elei eleeh
those dreams are tied
to a horse that will never tire
and in the flames
Elei eleeh
her shadows play
in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Elei eleeh
each of her veils, a secret promise
this desert flower
Elei eleeh
no sweet perfume ever
tortured me more than this
And as she turns
Elei eleeh
this way she moves
in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
Elei eleeh
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
Elei eleeh
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
Elei eleeh
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
Elei eleeh
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
is the sweet intoxication of her love
Aman aman aman aman
...
I dream of rain
Elei eleeh
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
Elei eleeh
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Elei eleeh
each of her veils, a secret promise
this desert flower
Elei eleeh
no sweet perfume ever
tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
Elei eleeh
this memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
is the sweet intoxication of the fall
Yo
Lili ah ya lee
Lili ah
...
