Faith is Hussain , guardian of faith is Hussain

Sar dad na daad dast dar dast e yazeed

Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid

Haqaaq e Binaa e Laa iLaha Ast Hussein

Indeed, Hussain is the foundation of La-ilah (the declaration that none but God is Absolute and Almighty)

It is a lucky night for me that I still have

The Electric power and mobile Network and Data ....

Sorry but I have to take a charging break

1:25 am Break

1:39 am Can't wait for the full charging because I have very little on-line time today ....I have absolutely no idea why my area is in the sensitive zone where the Sindh police can shutdown the mobile Network ?

we all know very well it's all the builder mafia's game they never let go of a chance to torture the people in anyway the best they can .Their reign of terror may have not seen such an amazing retribution in the form of a Thunderstorm anywhere in the World .

We are extremely grateful to the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 , humble and in prostration 🛐 for listening to our prayers and giving us Water and more Water , Rain and Thunder .

The greatest news this week is that the Hub Dam the reservoir for the city water supply is now totally full . So we can build another Dam now or the More Water ( ziyada Pani) will be completely wasted and may even cause severe Urban flooding in the nearby goths and villages of Sindh and Balochistan .

The Second Best News of this week is that the term of office of the most corrupt and absolutely useless mayor of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world , has ended 🎆🎇🎆🎉🎊 the rain and Thunder and lightning ⚡ was definitely due to it .

Waseem Akhtar
Waseem Akhtar

29th Mayor of Karachi
In office 30 August 2016 – 29 August 2020
Preceded by	Syed Mustafa Kamal
Pakistani Parliamentarian from Karachi, Sindh
In office May 2008 – May 2013
Personal details
Born	25 November 1955 (age 64) Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
Political party	Muttahida Quami Movement (P)
Residence	Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan
Alma mater	Telecommunication Engineer
Occupation	Politician

The way he has been cursed by the people of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world , is quite singular and unprecedented . In the past two years since the one leg smaller unbalanced chair of power booked MQM to balance the level .

The interesting thing is that neither PTI nor the MQM gained any turf on the political ground in the past two years ....

Public was furious even before the monsoon Rain season .

And now you could see for yourself .

Everybody has stakes here . People from every nook and corner of Pkaistan comes here to make money . When they die their bodies are taken back to be buried in their home town or villages . So if they die or get hurt so bad that they are no longer useful to their families . People back home know who to blame .

During the past four years term of the historic Mayor and deputy Mayor of KMC who were elected for the first time on a party basis . In the past local bodies elections and especially under the Army rule , political party workers has to

Compete individually as an independent candidate . But there was no restriction on the MMM ( Mulla' military and the Media to choose and promote their own favorites .somehow people always knew who and why they had to vote for the top contenders. It is always extremely embarrassing for the ppp ( Pakistan People's Party ) that dispite so many tall claims about their popularity equally all over Sindh Never have they ever won the Mayorship of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world . And the party position these days it seems has no future as well .

Who cares .

I am lying in bed yet I am falling asleep and the mobile

is also falling down from my hand . So I have to hurry up .

The funny thing is that MQM that started as an ethnic race and language based party has loosened it's reigns for any race and identity challenge Desperado ..on the other hand ppp cannot even claim to be the sole representative of the Sindhi downtrodden.

So it is so not clear if the Sindh province will have a new local body election any time soon . Or how this city will be governed by the builder mafia or their puppets .

Anyways ,

Enough of this scary politics

It is almost astronomical twilight time . So here I take a break for fajr 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!

4:44 am Break !

6:12 am

Breakfast

The morning tweet

Sun 10th Muharram 1442H

31°C

6:04 am Good Morning !

After fajr prayer 🛐

I did the breakfast 😁

The tea ☕ is too hot so waiting

It did not rain yesterday and there seems to be no chance today either .so I watered the mango plants now I can sleep 😴

Not expecting wakeup calls📳

There is a very good chance that I may not get an opportunity again today to do the morning tweet because of the Sindh Police mobile Network shutdown in the sensitive areas during the Ashura Muharram jaloos and processions .

Thanks God the All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏

That I am not welcome in the jaloos and processions . When I was very young we used to every year watch the color ful tazia floats .

Today is Sunday ....oh my God ... minority hee minority ki dushman ...

Today on Sunday All Churches and British era Cathedral and the roads leading to will be closed , sealed and Containerfied here in Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world.

Is there a public holiday for the churches and cathedral s as well ?

Due to heavy rain fall on the 7th Muharram 1442H the containers by the city administration and Sindh police were seen floating like tazia ...and the jaloos procession was nowhere in sight ...

This year 2020 will be very hard to forget for years to come . The donations Mafia in the name of God the All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏

is so badly affected by the Acts of God the All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏

Never heard or seen before ...

Okay then this is it ...since I am not eating the beef ...I don't care about the Khichra or Haleem and so ...

Sweet Dreams

6:54 am Break !

3:14 pm Good Afternoon !

Yes I have been sleeping all day ..tried to wake up many times but could not . The weather is again hot and humid ...Sunny 🌞 outside ...

We have a Chaapa ...the haleem / Khichra delivery ...

My dear younger sister cooked it ... Awesome

The Mobile network is still down so there is no data as well ...not sure for how long it will remain out .

Okay I have to get up and have a bath and pray 🛐

So here I take a short break for prayer 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

3:24 pm Break !

4:12 pm We still have no loadshedding.or power shutdown 🤗

Okay after the bath and prayer with a Prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

I went out to buy the milk for the sharbat or milkshake for fateha ....I was going to get it yesterday but then I bought the fruits and saw the tickle in the eyes of the cooking Mafia ...She wanted to make a sweet dish of it ...so then I decided I will bring the milk today and even get a chance to look around my neighborhood on this special holiday . We have the weekly holidays and the public holidays and now we even have a post thunderstorm public holiday ...but 10th Muharram Ashura holiday is very different ....anyways ...

On the street on my way to the market and back I saw a begger very old and frail he could barely walk and yet he had in his both hands two heavy imtiaz shoppers ...in the right hand was uncooked Ration Atta and stuff and in the left hand there was cooked biryani and stuff ...I know very well they are part of the system and there must be a backup or pick up waiting or hiding for them but somehow it felt really bad ....I should have turned back . But then I may have missed the backup plan ....😜

Also while I was going out my dear sister requested to check for any unusual activity at her relatives in the neighborhood .

Actually her Aunt from California wild fires called her on the landline ...yes brother paid the bill and decided to keep it ...and I did not protest it either ....but it has been the most traffic week of the year 2020 . Even the Cousin who had a grand child ten months ago called and not only informed but also invited to the post Happy Thanksgiving Christmas ball . Okay let's begin with pumpkin...brother has seen a YouTube video and says it's good for my skin troubles ....here we have a very different shape and color pumpkin from the fairytales and it's called " kaddu " some guys are also called that in slang not sure why , may be the both taste the same ...we had a very strange vegetable guy roaming on our street ...with a very organized push cart with plastic trays ...I asked him from over the wall ....

Kaddu hai ?

And he asked in reply ...

Konsa ? Looking at me . 🤨

So I am waiting for a net and free time , no pressure to upload pics or watch an online soap serial , to research what he meant by which one ? Or if he was also a part of Saein family security details . Who went back to the village after that awesome Thunderstorm on their illegal hot tin roof .

5:06 pm the Network is back 📳

I wasn't expecting it to be back so soon . Seems like I won a Battle today ...the war will be over soon when we have a city wide free WiFi . inshallah 🙏

I think I haven't eaten anything since the breakfast ...and it's beef so I can't eat the haleem as well

So I will probably have the milkshake or tea now with pastry or jalebi ....the food panda 🐼 is mostly off today and the takeaway with very limited choices is of very poor quality ...last year only Allahwala kitchen was open ...and they had only sheermal and pre packed chicken biryani for distribution at majlis and procession . The quality of sheermal is definitely poor in Muharram . I have been checking it for years ...the other day I went in between the Thunderstorm but somehow I stepped on a builder mafia mine . By the time I reached the market oven they were all pre booked and packed for a guy who came after me . The later events of the day confirmed my suspicion .

So anyways

We are extremely grateful to the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 , humble and in prostration 🛐

for listening to our prayers🤲 and giving us Water and more Water , Rain and Thunder .

Amen 🙏

Time for a long break for fateha 🌹 and prayers 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

5:35 pm Break !

6:28 pm okay I prayed 🛐

With a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

Fateha done ...on mango milk shake , sharbat and plain milk .

I was just in time to remind for the mango shake ...I bought extra mangoes just for it . My dear Nephew loves it but unfortunately his ride came early and he left before fateha 🌹 .

I'll also drink it later when it's chilled or frosty . They were adding ice to make it cool but I said no I can wait . And who knows we may have another Chaapa

Since Corona this is the first time my dear younger sister has cooked and send it for us . She was awfully careful all this time . It's good that her confidence is getting back .

There is no serious kitchen activity today but the temperature on my Al harmain clock just went a degree up from 31°C to 32°C

The sky is all very cloudy ....

And the eagles are flying low on their return flight to the old city areas ...never found out where they go or come from all I see over my head is that they fly in a straight line after Dawn and before sunset every single day even on a super special public holiday .

The very special of the day a military helicopter is monitoring the procession and can be heard from far . Maybe if I try harder I could even watch it or if I go up on the roof .... Then it will have a better view of me ....and so does all the 24 windows and roofs of the neighbors ...never mind I have seen helicopters before . 🚁

Okay then it's time for the prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

6:55 pm Break !

Sun 11th Muharram 1442H

32°C

8:28 pm Good Evening !

Isha Azans Finished ! Our neighborhood Mosque is usually the last in town .

So the Isha prayer time today is 8:45 pm .

After the Maghrib prayer 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

I made a flat omlet without onion or anything else just plain red chilli powder and salt ...I love it too .

There was a left over slightly sliced paratha also lucky me ...refried it in ghee and it was just as new maybe better ...as expected the left over milk was turned into gulabi Rabri™️ ....ya I thought so too ....®️

No no I did not forget the mango milk shake 🥤it was very chilled and the edges were frosty so I drank a cup and then poured the left over in the mug to be full frosty for after supper after midnight .

Come to think of it today I can continue after midnight because of the Sindh Police mobile Network shutdown in highly sensitive areas of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world 🗺️

Bad news our home computer desktop monitor died . It is very rarely used .

Sisters blender machine died ... luckily she had a spare one bought from telemart and she also knew how to fix it otherwise we may never had the mango shake today .I only helped her put the lid on it as I was idly standing nearby watching patiently .

I used to love unboxing and putting the kitchen appliances especially the new ones together for Ammi ( May her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏)

Now I usually runaway or wait patiently .

😢

We are extremely grateful to the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 , humble and in prostration 🛐

for listening to our prayers🤲 and giving us Water and more Water , Rain and Thunder ⚡🌩️⛈️

Besides unprecedented Rain and Thunder , the Thunderstorm ⛈️ and very long power breakdowns . A very unusual thing happened

On Thursday afternoon soon after I finished the prayers 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

And had also finished the reciting of Surah Ra'ad #13

And was sitting in the lawn enjoying my cup of tea ☕ waiting for the rain and Thunderstorm to begin again

The power was already gone ..

Suddenly I heard the banging on the gate .... hesitantly I got up and looked out and to my greatest Surprise it was Doctor Saab trying desperately to get some response from me to get the door open ... He was trying to get home from work . His ride dumped him . Careem and Uber were unreachable ...public transport was unavailable and even if it was they refused to go . So finally after walking for miles in water wearing those SOP kit he found a ride that agreed to bring him here . Must have been a nightmare .

Anyways this was the first time in years ever since he returned to Pakistan and moved out to two towns away , he knew the moment he sat foot inside that he can't leave today . Yes he stayed over night and went back the next morning after breakfast which he prepared and decided for himself , himself . When his mobile phone battery died and there was no electricity here ...he asked if I have a power bank . I said yes . But he was not too anxious to use the mobile . Few hours later as it grew dark and rain and Thunder began again the landline also went dead . Now he was a totally different person from the one who has been visiting us with or without the family .

We gave him his own dress but he did not change not sure why . He asked for a slippers , I had no idea where it was . I am very sorry I had no idea the next day was declared a public holiday because he kept saying I will go to work and I kept saying no go home but I had no valid excuse for him to not go to work except that there is a chance of more rain and Thunderstorm today after Juma Mubarak .

Then pakoras came and light Restored we all charged the mobile . His mobile was not charging on our USB charger so he bring out his own and forget it while leaving ....I was asleep or I would have reminded to pack it . When I woke up I saw his mobile charger . I informed him when we talked that night and he said I will pick it up later and also that it was on the go one which he keeps in the bag , he has one at home . I was only concerned because I saw that normal USB charger was not working for his Mobile .

Anyways while his mobile was charging , our landline started humming I called out to everyone to see it . It was coming out back from the dead 💀🔥

The humming was strong and it did not stop when I pushed the handsfree button to check if there is line tone ...and yes it was working .

Doctor Saab heard it too he sat down beside it and dialled his home number . I did not ask who was on the line but he asked her the only thing on his mind and so it was decided .

It was way passed my bed time so I instantly fall asleep 😴 and woke up for the Juma Mubarak prayers and khutba and reciting Surah Ra'ad #13 with a prostration 🛐 Sajda

Thunder Started and it looks as if it was raining somewhere .

We are extremely grateful to the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 , humble and in prostration 🛐

for listening to our prayers🤲 and giving us Water and more Water , Rain and Thunder ⚡🌩️⛈️

By the way , the mobile phone charger was returned today . So now I can relax 🧘‍♂️

Allama talib johari died of Corona Covid-19 Pandemic early this year during the lockdown ...so I was wondering .....who took his place in the sham e ghariban show tonight on PTV

There was an unknown number call on my mobile phone a little while ago (9:17 pm )

📳

Okay charging , tea ☕ break

Also I have to pray the Isha prayers with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

10: 5:2 pm Break ! ( 4385 words)

Skylar Grey - Love The Way You Lie

Lyrics

On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised

Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now there's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you always win
Even when I'm right

'Cause you feel me fables from your head
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied

So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Till the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
