The Sunday Blog # 238

Today is the Sunday

The 25th of October 2020

the 7th of RabiulAwwal 1442 H till the Sunset ( 5:58 pm ; Karachi☠️)

And this is my the Sunday Blog # 238 ( Two Hundred and Thirty Eight )

The Beginning :

So last week when we left it was an unbelievable day and the night was even more ....romantic 😊 The arrows were not aiming at the Lions or the turbans ...

PPP was hosting the PDM ( push me down ) rally . It was the first of RabiulAwwal 1442 H . But the Car , Buses and Trucks were painted or decorated with the opposition flags and banners . I went for a walk and shop a kilometer away from the event site and witnessed a well organised rally . Traffic police were using loudspeaker and horns to guide the drivers and participants . Nearly All the famous eateries were open even the McDonald's Najeeb center was open and there were kids enjoying their meals . I was totally confused as to what was going on .

It definitely did not seem right . Like the PPP was hosting the event... on the contrary . It seemed like the MQM or the Govt or the you know who ...was more into it than the participants and organizers of the event .

Anyways , the event ended peacefully . But the very next day . The atmosphere begin to change . And then it became clear . 🧐

Still Baloney .... :

Either PPP was in it 💯 percent or somebody got stabbed in the back once again . Either way this does not help PPP or the hopeful Bilawal .

First they kicked PPP out of the frontier province ( kpk) then according to general belief PPP withdrew from Punjab under the Covenent of democracy . Okay so now what do they want . Oh wait ...

Filthy India ;

Twitter around the world just got lucky ...especially here in Pakistan after the tic tok ban

During the last Presidential debate ...

Mr Trump said this ...

"Look at China, how filthy it is. Look at Russia. Look at India. It's filthy. The air is filthy. I walked out of the Paris Accord as we had to take out trillions of dollars and we were treated very unfairly," Mr Trump said, " "I will not sacrifice millions of jobs... thousands of companies because of the Paris Accord. It is very unfair."

Four years ago people in this region followed these debates very closely . And trust me to him India was like a paradise . And Pakistan was the bad guys ...check out my five year old tweets and blogs and Facebook updates ..

Rarely do the four years of partying makes such a huge impact on "Filthy Rich "

Praiseth the

Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏

And it's a relief that Pakistan is only in his good books ...almost like a shock tharapy .

So don't you wonder sometimes that now when he gets the vote in the coming November's Presidential election ...what are the goals or targets i might be expecting from him .

Because of .him..

And

By him !

God Bless America 🙏

6:00 am Good Morning !

Loadshedding 🌃

i must have fallen asleep . Totally forget what I was to blog about next and i cannot think in this darkness and soon the mosquitoes will attack so I better get up and do the wazu for 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!

6:10 am Break !

6:26 am Good Morning Once again !

Some neighbors also wake up and started their generator not all have started yet . There is just one mosqito or maybe there are more but this one is super fast and super loud . Others might be biting silently . So I better go out and smell the fresh winter morning chill and clean air before it is completely polluted by .....US chemical and pharmaceutical plants in the industrial zones or SITES ...

filing my cup of tea ☕ with last night's tea almost broke the cup when it hit the chair in the dark .

Okay now I am outside the sky is all whitish with smog and the air is filthy like Russia . Isn't it ironic most Pakistani men prefers Russian Women because they always appear clean . But somehow never heard a fairytale of them falling in love ❤️ with Pakistan's . Anyways some other time .

So apart from the sounds of the generator and bad smells , it is a very good , Quiet and Peaceful Sunday Morning . My siblings must be extremely exhausted from a very long day yesterday at the hospital or somebody must have come out by now especially my dear brother who plays the recitation of the holy Quran with urdu translation followed by farhat chachi's sermon on his fm radio .

Ah there he is playing the verses . His small rechargable radio has such loud sound that somebody passing by on the street might think we are playing a loudspeaker .

Okay the loadshedding has ended few minutes early before the top of the hour so it must have started early while I was asleep . So 10% sawab of today's fajr prayer and the reciting I heard goes to Electric company . I would definitely have missed it today and probably had a cramp due to the fan running at full speed . The way I fall asleep after eating the chicken roll I really don't think I should have the breakfast at all . But I cannot fast either or I will be too weak to even hold the mobile in the hand and type . The mobile also has the aap of speak typing but it will only do ⅛ of the blog in the same time . Or probably less .

So it's good that I am not sleeping or feeling that I might fall asleep blogging . If it happened then I will go for a walk and shop . And let the stray dogs sniff to death .

Have you seen how strong these stray dogs and all the other creature on the streets of Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world, have become since the outbreak of the global Pandemic Covid-19 Corona virus . And yet the guys who looked strong died breathless . So is it true then that the Wandering Jews will inherit the earth ?

Last week what I totally missed was a breaking News and live coverage of an event of the flight from Jerusalem to Manama Bahrain . Carrying some Filthy rich Jews and Americans for the mere Aziz Hamwatno moment ....imagine the hurt and agony my neighbor must be feeling ....they tried to cover-up with a lot of distractions but somehow I found it and even blogged it .

It may sound a little crazy but it is WasiQ . Since the end of the second world war the Jews were living very peacefully in isreal . Travellers and tourists from many countries even the US were not allowed to travel freely in and out of isreal . Foreign ministries and religious fundamentalist pressure groups and watchdogs discouraged group or individual tourism .

But this Chinese Corona virus has reached the core and force the hidden out . Despite the means of communication getting stronger and easier ...The communication is getting tougher. " The Herds" are not taking the barricades and fences very seriously . Distractions are getting really messy . The Actors , performers and entertainers are not classified or versatile anymore , they are now digitalized . For example Trump did not actually say India filthy ...or bilawal priced the eggs in kilo but people heard it , saw it , loved it !

Trump got a billion hits ...and a million votes each from Joe Biden and Kamala Haris votes .

And here in the case of Bilawal , it was the best damage control I have seen this year . Bravo !

So let's see how they do in quetta today ...for if you ask me ...Azma Bukhari's video showing the door got a negative rating .

Okay it's nine in the morning and my data bundle will be off so I need to take a break and do the first update . BTW I totally forget the topic 😂

8:50 am Break !

11:33 am The Morning Tweet and the Sunday Brunch

Sun 7th RabiulAwwal 1442 H

32°C

11:20 am Good Morning !

Fall asleep tonight was woken up the city electric company for fajr prayers or Sunday special breakfast .

Prayed 🛐

And skipped breakfast .

Had brunch just now .

Now back to Sunday Blogging ✍️ https://t.co/KualsDDAmj

I think that will be good for today

This week I had the Chicken roll from two different fast food restaurants the first one had extra dry paratha as if somebody dried it on paper and then rolled it or their cooking oil/ghee was borrowed by the neighbors and the one last night was from the neighbors , oil was dripping from butter paper . The Restaurant rider was too eager to deliver and collect the extra delivery charges .

Anyways until our kitchen activity is fully normalised I will tasting different takeaways from same restaurants can't take the risk of trying something new this year or unless it is recommended . And now that the patient is in recovery I might even try to cook something simple besides the fried eggs and omelette .

Talking of eggs somebody on Facebook posted a copy of price control list of poultry including the eggs Rs 80 / dozen . Even bilawal's speech writer won't believe this so who is it for ?

Sleepy 😴

okay so here I take break for prayer 🛐 with a prayer 🤲 for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

1:10 pm Break !

1:35 pm Good Afternoon !

The look :

By now everybody has understood and accepted the Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world, weather . Regardless of the burning 🔥 sensation when standing directly in the Sun

Or the chilling feeling when I need to get up . Or the constant 33°C on the digital clock thermometer....the skin is dry infact it is so dry that I had to use the cream and lotion to make it smooth and shinny and stop from ruptured broken skin at many points on the body especially the feet . The hairs have mostly turned grey but in this weather they become so dry that when I wake up and look in the mirror I sometime Don't recognize myself but people around me are used to watching the crazy head especially the neighbors guards and drivers and farmhands . So anyways since this hospital drill started . I applied the hair oil and combed my hairs and probably put the prayer cap on for the prayer 🛐 so the hairs were all set and down and turned blackish grey .I did not even trim my hairs to make them look different but they did.

Now I went out and stand at the wall with only my head visible to the people outside . Most of them who have been watching me for ages have probably seen my set hairs and head but few of them keep on rotation and been here for very small period of time , were shocked or surprised and looked closely to confirm if it's really me . Like when you present the Id or passport to the immigration or security checker they look at you . Or sometimes when near the season finale of a soap serial some main or side character gets a new look and the others get shocked or compliment . That is what the weather of this city forces us to do . And those who do not care of the changing weather usually fade a little earlier then normal time .

2:54 pm Break !

3:47 pm Had tea ☕

Checked Foodpanda 🐼 for any new restaurant nearby ...shocked to see fajja paya about 3 km away with just one review of single star and complaint of hair in paya ...in patelpara ...

It's probably a winter weekend ritual ...gone now ...

Movies of the Week :

This week I did not watch any movie ...I started one but then I was call for a meal or something and so I did not get a chance to watch or start again . The proxy war Indian and Pakistani media kids fought was too interesting . It was obvious that the Pakistani kids were mad at selectors for the tic tok ban and they took out their anger in sarcasm on Twitter and other surviving social media apps

But what remained a mystery was the fact unknown as to why the India media kids started the fire 🔥 .

By the way ,

Karachi the most dangerous city in the world , was only partially destroyed because Indians were using the real news like that of maskan building blast and IG kidnapping etc

But in retaliation isi sleeper cells upto Goa were totally destroyed . Mumbai completely wiped out ...Maha badly affected and nobody found rashter ever again .

Missed the truce as well as finale . Or was it game over .

Anyways it was fun and very entertaining .

So now it's time for Asr Prayers with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

4:30 pm Break !

5:40 pm So there is about fifteen minutes to go before the next Azan start . I am sitting in the lawn and enjoying the tea ☕ alone

Looks like i am living my future . So when this will eventually or finally happens in few years I will blog ...or tweet ...politically correct !

Back to the Future .........with a curved dotted line ...

Anyways .

Apart from yesterday on Saturday this whole week the neighborhood remained extra QUIET ...not sure what is the real reason behind . But as a customery tradition of this house ...the builder had a mixer and laid down the mix . This was the second time the mixer came ..first was a month ago for the underground water tank with full Lego Land

Its been thirteen long years since the taxman ...and everybody of his survivers were two towns away and technically I should have been too ...and yet ...all that racket all day and it's back to the quiet and will probably remain slow the whole month ...maybe more ....so why was it so important to feed two couldrons 🍲to the Lego Land just yesterday ? . It wasn't the pay day either 😒 or the pink slip day ...neither it was the Juma Mubarak Friday ....sometimes this builder mafia really confuses me to the core .

Aha Garam Garam Aloo Samosa from Abdul mannan

And the Azan is also about to start in few minutes ..

So here a definite break 🛐

Sun 8th RabiulAwwal 1442H

32°C

6:51 pm Good Evening !

I have no idea what is happening in the kitchen but iam sure there will be food to eat

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏

9:20 pm Good Night !
Don't know but good night always sounds like it's time to go .
While here it seems like abhi toh party shuru hoie hai ...

Yes !

So after the last update I heard voices people talking , chatting , phone ringing , i went out to check and saw the chicken almost ready . Without wasting the time i took it off the stove ( fire) and left it to be checked by the elders ...and I started making tea in the mean time so by the time they arrived my tea was ready ...i fill the pot and pour my cup and sat at the table had my cup of tea☕ and got the update . . And by the time my cup of tea was finished the dinner was ready and the kittens already fed . I took pictures and then we ate . I felt there were to much unknown spices so I returned most of the gravy in my plate and eat the chicken boti with roti. Had tea again but the extra spice taste was not going away ..

. luckily i saw the giblets of the Chicken , liver and ❤️ and instantly I decided to cook it even though it was a Sunday and on Sundays sometimes I don't even want to have dinner at dinner time and instead I lock myself in the room and continue doing the Sunday Blogs . But today everything is different no need to explain how or why ....
So I cooked the chicken liver and ❤️ just like the way I love it and then before it gets cold I ate it with the last roti .

Wasiq1's Recipe :

Chicken liver and ❤️

Wash and clean and remove the blood clots in the veins and arteries ...some people prefer to eat it without removing the blood clots ....but I can't do that .
Then I put the chicken liver and ❤️ in the old frying pan so that I can cut it to bits and pieces while cooking . You can cook it after slicing according to your taste . But I prefer to cut the piece by piece .
Before lighting the flame don't forget to put a tablespoon of ghee or cooking oil in the old frying pan or tawa . Then add a pinch of salt and red chilli according to your taste . When the chicken liver seems cooked just slice one piece to see if it is tender or still raw . If the piece breaks easily then it is ready .
Take it out in the plate and enjoy it with roti , paratha or bread slice .

Download this recipe for $25 or 15 €

After

eating the pan fried Chicken liver and ❤️
I washed the plates and pan .washing the pan is always the hard part but I don't mind it .
After that I had a bath and prayed 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

And now I am very sleepy .

So before I fall asleep and miss the ending ...I better take a break and get a refill of the milk free tea ☕ that I made before dinner .

10:21 pm Break !

11:03 pm

The Missing persons :

So as expected they played the Balochistan card in Quetta . I really don't think that they watch psl or believe there will be a PSL next year after Global Pandemic Covid-19 Corona .

The missing person issue has been in the news for a very long time just like it used to be in the times of gustapo or KGB . It happens in every non democratic totalitarian regime in every corner of the world in every era in time .

But why in this Islamic republic of Pakistan ? And why ISI is so vehemently accused of it and why nobody cares ?

Okay never mind others Why i don't care why I never use my knowledge and power to check and curb this menace . Don't my heart bleeds when I see the young and old Balochi people standing in sun with placards , with photos of their loved ones , father's and sons . Why ?

Since childhood I have come across many permanent resident balochis , pardesi and wandering Jews .. and I learned that they are fluent in Urdu and English . And my guess is that their balochi , pushto and Persian is not that bad either , not to mention Dari and hindko .
Never came across a balochi fully conversent in Russian , french or German languages but I find them quick learner and probably they actually does so .
When ever we are outnumber in a company they tend to forget and start speaking in either of the languages mentioned above . Anything but Urdu and English . Which clearly suggests that their issue is not with us , isi or the Islamic republic . They most certainly have issue with London and Delhi .
God Save the Queen ...save em both .
Okay few minutes left before midnight . So here I take a break . This may not be a five thousand word Sunday Blog like previous two , but still impressive . To me myself at least .

Okay I know it's very late and I should have finished hours ago but the problem is that the song video I choose for the ending does not have the lyrics available ....that very rarely happens for such popular songs and this other song video I picked as an alternative may have been added more than once in the Sunday Blogs but I am not sure
Anyways
Here it is so enjoy it and have fun .
The next Sunday will probably be a very relaxed one as most of the big events local and international would have passed . The 12th RabiulAwwal Eid Milad is on the Friday . The holy kaba mutaaf opened this week for
Juma Mubarak prayers after 210 day ...so I guess I have no excuse now for not going to the mosque . Honestly I was this close in getting the prayer Matt mark removed from my left foot . It's a round coin like corn . Due to the lockdown I was praying at home on my prayer Matt and top of the left foot was not touching the ground for very long to press it against the prayer matt for long .

Okay one main topic is left today about the Saudi - Pak relations and that grey list of fatf ...where I believe Saudi Arabia voted against Pakistan ...but why ? I did not get to follow the whole story this week so maybe some other time ...or on the week of the next review very soon .

Okay then ..I have to watch two weekend episodes of the Turkish soap now . So I have to hurry and recharge first and we never know when will be the loadshedding so anyways

All the Best

God Bless America 🙏

Eid e Milad Mubarak

Allah Hafiz !

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
But through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me (Ooh)

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me

Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is)
Love that you feel inside (I want you to show me)
And I'm feeling so much love (I wanna feel what love is)
Oh no, you just cannot hide (I know you can show me)

Ohh, I wanna know what love is
(Let's talk about love) I know you can show me
I wanna feel it (I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it, too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
(Hold me back if I'm wrong, yeah)

I wanna know
(I want you to show me)
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
(I want to feel what love is) I wanna feel
(I know you can show me)

Sunday 18 October 2020

The Sunday Blog # 237

Today is the Sunday

The 18th of October 2020 ,

The 30th of Safar 1442 H

till the Sunset ( 6:02 pm ; Karachi☠️)

And this is my the Sunday Blog #237 ( Two Hundred and thirty seven ) .

Yes the Rabi ul Awwal 1442 H Moon was sighted for Saudi Arabic on Friday Sunset 🌇 But was not sighted even a day later on Saturday Sunset for Karachi☠️ the most dangerous city in the world . This means that there will be a two days difference between the two . And that the first of Rabi ul Awwal 1442 H will be on Sunday after Sunset (-------) and mostly on Monday . And the Eid milad (Saw) will be on the Friday the 30th of October 2020 and will not coincide with the guru ji's Happy Birthday Celebrations. WoW !

Okay by the Way ...the next full moon is on the 31st of October 2020 at 19:49

So I suspect this moon not sighting to be a bit more scientific .

Moon Waxing Crescent

1.5 % at midnight .

Anyways .... There are much bigger issues this week so let's not wrangle so much on the mare moon date and let us begin the Sunday Blog # 237 ( Two Hundred and thirty seven ) .

So first of All .....

The Politics :

Somehow ever since the former mayor of Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world,

Left the office after the completion of his four years term in office . And with him all the city council and zonal municipal councils and town union councils vanished and councilor retired . Suddenly the political activity started with religious and political parties doing rallies every weekend in my home town .

The Jamshed town . The only town of Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world ,

Which is officially recognised by the Indian hallucinating Media with Mr @arifaajakia as it's Mayor .

Correction pls..Karachi has 18 Towns, every town has a mayor & then there is Lord Mayor of Karachi City. I was deputy mayor of Jamshed Town, Karachi, the most populous town of Pakistan at that time (1.17 mil), from 2005-2006 & then became mayorof Jamshed Town 2006-2007.

Anyways ,

So what started with the Takfiri really one hot Sunday ...has now reached the climax with a PDM ( push me down ) really hosted by Hospitalized Mr Zardari Inc .

Opposite the mazar e Quaid behind The Lines Area .

And the Numaish Roundabout. The fairytale has it that if there is any unusual activity at the Regiment 111 of the Pakistani Army ...the first signs appear here or the Sandhursts Royal Academy.( Way back in time )

On 12th October 1999 after Sunset I was at Thomas & Thomas, Saddar Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world,

When it all started , I was looking at the interesting book titles and covers as usual ....having no clue at all . I took the usual seat at usual bus and came home the other way not through the Numaish Roundabout , or I may have lived the fairytale , instead I stopped at a store after getting off the bus and bought an ice cream 🍡 came home to a Ptv jam playing back to back Naheed Akhter LP

I am sure I fall asleep before ...Merey Aziz Hum Watno ...and read the preposterous First Provisional Constitutional Order PCO 1 in the newspaper ...after the morning tea.

After the pokran Nuclear blasts over a year earlier I had clearly realised that ...I have the freedom to have any colour I want as long as it is black ...and Since Usmani RIP who was already in the gutter was dragged out and put at the Wrong end of Zamzama .

so I once again choose to be the Vicar of the Bray ...and go with the flow .

Those were the fun days but honestly I never realized when and how I became a Buridan's Ass ., In military accounts .

You cannot play catch 22 with them . It's either you are with them or you are on your own .

I am sure the news may have reached you that the Resignation of the SAPm and allegedly owner of Papa Jones in Pakistan was eventually accepted by the PM . That is what I have been trying to learn all these years since dropping out of the law school . You can't say yes or no to military no matter who you think you are ...as and when you please

In case you have missed my previous years Sunday Blogs ...my dear siblings fairytale is much funnier than Khan's .

When they were determined not to give my dear Ammi ( may her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏) and after her, the siblings their share ...nothing could be done except saying that ...we don't want it ...you do what you think is right ...

Still they delayed , went to court , harrassed , pilorized and even asked for the marriage certificate ( nikahnama) from a grieving Widow ....that was certainly extremely way too low .

And when they decided for whatever the reason after her ( May her Soul rest in peace in Jannah Amen 🤲) that my dear siblings should get their share ....there was nothing in the world , I or anybody could do to prevent them from giving .

If only the French philosopher had considered the Retired Military or the forth graders into his Buridan's Ass hypothesis ...his Ass would have died of anything but starvation .

Some prefers the twisted fairytales not sure why but they do ....

So anyways ...people get busy in their lives and move on ....and sometimes even forget most of the things they hated about someone . after surviving and averting a conflict or crisis

This happens so often in politics and especially the parliamentary politics that people especially the Voter begin to get less and less interested in their rhetoric and is more interested in their moves and stands .

In 2013 , general elections . Pakistani Military , elected mian Mohammed Nawaz Sharif for the third time ....Regardless of how much he paid for it . It is now very obvious that CPEC was on the table and greed was in the air . And Khan was not fully tamed or his Haram trusted .

I don't know if anybody remember or even heard my reaction to his sworing in .

But I was certain that his pride will increase after the next fall .

A Republican Government in the Whitehouse is always good for Pakistan . It brings prosperity and much needed Stability . But Trump was way way better than I had expected .

Don't you think it seems a little odd that despite having a global business empire and partnerships overseas Trump and his family were found not have made it to the Panama papers saga .

دیشب که تو از مهر ببام آمده بودی

دیدم که به از ماه تمام آمده بودی

dishab ke tu az mehr babam aamada bodi

didam ke beh az maahe tamaam aamada bodi

Last night when you sprang over the terrace,

I witnessed you are far superior to the beauty of moon.

تا شمع شب افروز رخت خلق ببیند

با جلوهٔ صبح از سر شام آمده بودی

taa sham-e shab afrooz rokhat khalq bebinad

baa jilva-e sobh az sar shaam aamada bodi

For people that linger to see your flickering candle face,

You manifest at dusk with the comeliness of artistic dawn.

گویا ز فلک ماه به زمین آمده امشب

چون دیده گشودم تو ببام آمده بودی

goya ze falak maah ba zamin aamada imshab

choon dida gshoodam to babaam aamada bodi

Insinuated like a moon’s visit to earth last night,

Astounded I opened my eyes to behold your glimpse.

مردم نگران من و من خود به تو حیران

تو بهر تماشای کدام آمده بودی

mardom negaraan man-o man khod ba tu hairaan

tu bahr tamaashai kodam aamada bodi.

People flock to behold me but I stand dazzled by you,

Which of these did you come to spectate?

Nine year after Bin Laden

Three US Sec of States later

Suddenly a song video of Zeb and Haniya part of a Indian music series The Dewarist pops up this week out of the blue with the first verse of this poem by an Afghan poet .

Now What choice do I have ?

Even the girls singer duo break up long time ago ....and lived HAPPILY EVERAFTER !!

So some analyst are trying to learn the similarities between this Army bashing by Nawaz and all the previous ones .

Some short sighted even compared it with the very recent Minus One leader and founder of MQM .

I don't think so ....

Sooner or later both Nawaz and Zardari is going to die . Their business will go bankrupt and the party will break into many factions . The rural people are very different from the city people . They don't support the losers . They prefer the powerful , the one who shows his power quite often . The city folks don't care about personal wealth of a politician ..all they care about is themselves and their little little everyday problems .

So far no date has been announced for a military observed election . Local or national so it is too early to predict how the political setup will emerge .

Surprisingly , MQM did not do well enough to claim it's post minus one status of a military favorite party . But then nobody was sure in the previous general election . And now this issue of the renting of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world ,

Islands to China absolutely disturbed the political climate . Nobody knows for sure the real intentions of the Chinese and the amount of money they are willing to spend here .

The Karachi islands are so close to the mainland that whatever happens on the islands under China influence will surely make a huge impact on the Karachi☠️ . The most Dangerous city in the world.

Okay it's too late ...I have to recharge the battery and have breakfast and pray with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

5:45 am Break !

10:12 am Good Morning !

So First

The Weather :

It's been a rollercoaster ride all the way this week . At first it seemed as if the Winter has finally arrived . Even the beef paya Sunday special announced a comeback for today .

But one thing is for sure ...it's been very Winter dry all week night or day ...even when I was sweating in the Sun 🌞 in the afternoon cutting trees or doing the gardening ...my nose was extremely dry in the inside and I had to apply parafin cream on the feet . The room digital clock thermometer did move down two ° but took a u turn after two days and yesterday it went a degree higher to 34°C .

There was a very spooky cloud cover all over Pakistan yesterday during the Ruet committee meeting and the IMD / skymet post Corona All male staff says the push was from the Arabian sea but the pull was from Bay of Bengal .

Anyways,

Here is the first tweet of the day , Sunday,

Sun 30th Safar 1442 H

34°C (😭)

9:55 am Good Morning !

Sunny 🌞 clear sky ...there was no chance of a precipitation anyways ...no breakfast ...will have the Sunday brunch in few hours inshallah . Back to Sunday Blogging ...

10:35 am Tea Break !

10:44 am Okay I believe this is magic . One of my dear elder siblings , put corn to dry in the sun ...and it's mostly cloudy in just one hour or less . Can't believe this .

Breaking News : jacinda won the New Zealand again and Shaniera rejoice a clean sea view Wasim Akram is sad #Guldozer

The Neighbourhood :

Yes indeed it is peaceful and quiet . There is a Govt Supported Rally nearby ...yesterday the builder made so much racket once again with a machine diggers and dumpers that I was not even able to hear my own thoughts ...but look now the mpa hostel has called the know it all fix up guy and he began with a two arm salute for the check post . After days of heavy sneezing the neighbors heavily armed guard ( Google App) left as a missing persons . So the cigarette smoking temp is back on our kerb after two days and nights of vacancy . He is not smoking the same or maybe the wind is blowing the secondhand smoke away from me ....the Friday Juma Mubarak sermon was also not heard clearly so it must be the rotated wind direction .

The new neighbors moved in finally and the Dawlance AC started making money for the Chinese Electric Company . So far I haven't smelled any cooking or reheating from over the wall . Yesterday there was restaurants rider from neighbouring town seen searching from their door . So I guess there is not much of a chance of a heavy kitchen activity from there . So far no police activity has been observed as suggested by the (Google App) except for the car stickers from Plaza .

Oh my .....that is just tmi

💅

Ghoom Taana Taana-naa-naana Ghoom Taana-na-x4.

Phones ringing....got to check if somebody at the gate .

BRB ...

No just landline ...

Oh by the way this just in ....

PTCL and Ufone gets a Matthew as a New CEO ....the removal of khans has began ....Azarbaijan Vows

😊

Pope Says ; #fratelliTutti

We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. #Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet. #FratelliTutti #EndPoverty

The Sunday Brunch !

The hall remains motionless and silent even after the landline ringing ....

The small chickpea ( White gram ) is now over soaked . Will probably make hummus instead .

We are absolutely out of milk so I need to make a quick trip to the market soon or my dear siblings will throw me out of the home

Foodpanda 🐼 shop has Rs 99 / - DC which seems a little unfair for a Rs 150/- carton of milk

Aha finally the touch sound of the microwave dial pad .

I am rescued ... ALLAH ho Akbar ...God is Great !

So I better get up and get out of the bed and pray with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

12:52 pm Break !

2:57 pm

A4:15 pm after eating the spicy Chaat my dry nose opened up for some time but now it's back to the same dry and blocked . Also I am very sleepy so I am not sure if I can stay up or will fall down the very next minute .,.........😴

5:52 pm yes I fall asleep and woke up to a very quiet not definitely peaceful Sunday evening ...

After realizing that it's Asr time I got out of the bed ...look myself in the mirror tried to shave with an old razor then had a quick bath and prayed 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

So now I am waiting for the sunset and Maghrib prayer azan . Not having the tea because it's just a few minutes left .

The gol gappay wala is playing the loudspeaker on his push cart at the full volume a block away but I can hear it in my locked door room with fan on ...the street is that quiet . Some merry old soul is teaching his kids to aim and shoot with an air gun ...somewhere in the neighborhood rooftops . Told ya Karachi☠️ the most dangerous city in the world,

😜

Okay the Azan starts so here I take a break for prayers with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

6:03 pm Break !

Sun 1st Rabi ul Awwal 1442 H

34°C

8:47 pm Good Evening !

So soon after the Maghrib prayers with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

The Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🎉

I changed into cap and Mask and left ....home ...first checked the road to the rally ground ...the cars and buses that brought the participants were parked up to the najeeb center . McDonald's 🍔was open and so was rehmat e Shirin and Zahid Nihari . I bought the dinner takeaway ...and a cake for my sister's happy birthday according to the Islamic lunar calenders . Since she celebrate my both birthday s I celebrate her both especially this one ....it's fun because even NASA 🥣 cann't plan .

So here I was a loaded potato gladly walking towards the home ...when I saw a welcome party all set with mobile cameras on at the corner . I realized some has happened and then I saw the flames on the first floor of the house on the corner . I also took out the mobile ...made a video but it was too dark ...then as I could not wait because there were too many takeaway shoppers on me ...some hot ...some hotter and then there was cake .

So coming home I break the breaking news to the dear siblings ...and showed them the video and stills I took of the scene ...they rushed out to check for themselves and I got time to unbox and take pictures of the dinner ....

Smart ? 😁

When they came I left to bath and change .

Then I prayed 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

That was the Isha prayer so now I was relaxed ...and I joined them for dinner . Dear Siblings were enjoying and were happy with the dinner especially the Walnut Halwa ...dear sister thought that she cannot chew it ...but I told her that it's cooked and soft to chew so she tried it and told that it is soft ...

After the dinner when it was confirmed that the fire 🔥 in the neighborhood was out

We cut the cake and took the pictures cutting it for Facebook friends .

So as usual my dear elder brother made a plate for the new born 💙 kittens and topped it with Zahid's Maghaz Nihari . They all followed him back inside and hide in my room 🐾🐾🐾 as I returned to put the mobile on charging ...I got a shock of my life ....I screamed...and scared them away ...so this was the last time ...from now on I will have to keep the door shut especially when I am sleeping in the morning or I will wake up with ....yak !

Shivers mi timber !!

9:44 pm Break !

10 :50 pm

The Holy Month of Safar :

So the holy month of the Islamic lunar calendar came to an end . honestly Contrary to the general belief that it attracts bad omen and tragic chain of events sometime and especially on the last Wednesday .
Even though we took all the precautions and prayed and avoided unnecessary travels still I must say that month started with the blessings and ended with the blessings .
Kids who were seeking jobs got hired .
Kids who were seeking admissions , got admissions to the professional university.
The month ended or may have even got engaged to be married . But that does not make any difference ...soon they will inshallah !
The kid with expensive mobile illness showed signs of improvement .
I was not informed of the monetary gains but I am sure somebody won a lottery or prizebond as well only this past month of Safar. And the best thing was that Mulla Adil was killed by unknown assailants on the go. Imagine how much mess it would have made otherwise.
SO IN DOLLAR TERMS $$
The Holy Month of Safar was really good for the family and friends.

The Movies ;

This week I watched only three movies because it was the holy month of Safar . Not any other reason in particular .

1. Shaitan ( 2010) Rerun . Originally it was rated 7 Stars and I think I should stick with it after the rerun .

2. Look for the silver lining ( 1949). Rated 10 Stars it is a golden oldie ...and I watched a lot of the movies of that era both in Cinema and on weekends television sitting on the laps of my dearly departed Ammi ( may her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏) at both places .I loved tap dancing when I was very young , I even had those metal pieces nailed in my shoe . I am not sure when and why I gave it up ...I never believed in sticking to just one art form when you can persue so many one by one . .
The movie is a memorable one ...and I will watch it again .

3. Gentleman prefers blonde ( 1953) Rated 10 Stars .
It's funny and witty and educational . I had many innocent laughs even an lol few times . Loved it .

Yes this is it from the moves this ....

The Soaps :
Most of the regular soaps I watch during the week and at the weekend were shot in hospitals ...this week . Not sure if it was a coincidence or just plain bad luck .

In muqaddar on Geo sardar Saif got shot and in hospital

In bandhay aik dur se....on Geo Umers Mom and dad had an accident .

In mehrposh ...on Geo ...ayat faked her illness but did not go to the hospital

In Turkish Bizm hikaya on urdu1 tv . Fiza was pregnant and her three young siblings were zinc poisoned fainted and we're rushed to a hospital by family.

And in kuzey guney ..the Turkish soap on drama central ...Ms banu brought the hospital home ....

Sadly I have not watched any episode of the Turkish weekend soap on urdu1 and for me on drama central ...yes tatli intikam or in urdu ek hassen intiqam ....so I cannot say if anyone of the main characters were in hospital or not but sure last week they had fertility test and disclosed about not pregnant .

Anyways mehru her is killing ayat just like mehrunisa killed Sitara ...😜

Who has written this series and why ?

Okay
It's time so I take a break here and will do the ending after the midnight

11:58 pm Break .

Okay then it's time to finish this my the Sunday Blog # 237 ( Two Hundred and thirty seven)

I wanted to post and share a song and dance video from the movies of the week I watched ...but it's almost an hour and I can't find it probably due to copyright issues ...but anyways in the end I choose a song video by the Corrs a girl band from my times but then I stumbled upon this NSYNC song video which is also from the same era and is also one of my very favorite ...

So enjoy it !

See ya next week if we survived the biryani and Nihari the first week of the holy month of Rabiulawwal 1442 H

Four more years for President Trump

God Bless America 🙏

Allah Hafiz !
