The 11th of October 2020
The 23rd of Safar 1442 H
Till the Sunset ( 6:09 pm ; Karachi☠️)
And this is my the Sunday Blog# 236 ( Two Hundred and thirty six) .
Last week I shared a tweet from shanira Akram the Indian wife of Australian origin .and the very next day her husband Mr wasim Akram posted a video on the same issue of garbage dumping on the sea view Clifton / DHA Karachi ☠️the most dangerous city in the world, beach .
Here it is ....
https://youtu.be/QrDmfEnBeP0
In my childhood there used to be a place call "Old Clifton" were our dearly departed Papa ( may his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲) used to take us after dinner on hot summer nights ...I never got to see that place in the light of the day so I don't exactly remember what and where it actually was ...but I believe that after they build the wall and pushed the sea away that place came under land development and housing and later it must have been converted into one on the Zinda Bhutto institutions by the British government .
In later years when Papa ( May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲), got busy and stopped going with us and we used to go with paternal relatives , grandmother , aunts , uncles , cousins both local and visiting , we used to go to jabees Funland , Playland , the aquarium , Ghazi Shah shrine and to the wall through the narrow street down hill where there were makeshift stalls of handmade craft and jewelry and decorations made of seashells . That was actually the more accessible beach for most of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world,
Near the wall there used to be many stalls of food and refreshments and fun and games , rides etc . And then of course there was the waves ...it was the time when Naam hi Kafi hai ...was not yet invented ...getting your feet wet in the sea water was a must .... Riding a camel or a 🐎 Horse and getting your polaride picture taken were optional .
Pakistan People's Party that proudly boosts about banning the alcohol and qadiani as Muslims allowed the construction of a vagas style casino the first of it's kind in Pakistan just about the same place where dacades later somebody allowed the first sea front structure of Dolmen Mall Clifton . That deserted Casino structure became hunted and was later demolished before the construction of Dolmen Mall .
Then somebody sold the whole beach miles stretch half to sea front developers including EMAAR and the other half to the port developers and containers terminal such as Hutchinson
They worked day and nights in water and gave us the gems like Crescent Bay and China Port for people who can and cannot afford the beach .
Now comes the Mela factor .
If you close the beach they get restless and suspicious .
Instead of hundreds they come in thousands . They really don't understand that it is a commercial property and not a public property or domain so obviously they have to create awareness about the harzards and life threatening situations so that the public stays away .
As you can see in the video and pictures of Mr Wasim Akhram and his wife there is nobody for miles except their security staff and a few concern citizens . Not even after shaniera posted her tweets hours before .
Okay now let's move on to the next big scam of the Social media ....and the PTI
The PTA ( Telecom Authority ) banned Social Media Site Tic Toc only in some areas of Pakistan . Or for few account holders who were not doing it very seriously and not making any money . The famous ones like Jannat Mirza and hareem shah who have millions of flowers and lots of money have left the country before this ban .
Jannat Mirza send this maa ssage for her fans and coolers .
Honestly I have not yet even sign in yet ...let alone making tictok videos ...I have been on the inner net since 2004 and on social media since 2006 ...the funny thing is that technically I am worse know than I was then ....
Did not make or waste any money from the social media .
I had given up being social long before the internet or social media . But my curiosity and eagerness to learn made me reach out to this new and exciting medium .
At first I tried to break my bubble but soon I realised there is not enough space outside for me to move and enjoy so slowly and gradually I started avoiding the social contact and communication with both familiar and strangers .
It wasn't very long when I first realised that most of the super active people on the " So" called Social media are anything but social . Before the Smart phones they were usually the ones locked in their offices or bedrooms . Later on after the Android Smartphones become very common the picture became very clear .
Boys girls teenagers gentleman and ladies , sitting, walking , driving were seen everywhere Connected and busy . And if somehow they were caught in a group of people socializing ...freely without any distraction ...they started using a breakup sequence of deteaching not just themselves but also the whole Social interaction by starting to take their Selfies or grouphies with the super smart mobile camera in their Android Smartphones . Cool !
It is ironic that most extremely social people are not at ease to the thought of being in the public domain watched and discussed by the strangers and unseen , unheard and unknown . And definitely not by peeping tomish stalkers regardless of their gender , social and cultural background and status.
I could have worded the above paragraph much better if it has not been this late or I have been a little fresh . But anyway I don't thing anybody has the right to disagree with me because if anybody even thought of disagring or making a negative comment I will immediately without having a second thought , Block him or her . This is social media and this is my the Sunday Blog # 236 ( Two Hundred and thirty Six) , I have not come this far long away just to face criticism and negativity from any sick moron . Call me Narcissistic if you have a short vocabulary .
Desperate people even post their bad pictures with the extremely enhanced ones just to look for the Trojans hidden among their friend and followers lists . And separate them from the lackey types .
So what I mean to say is that the thought of people liking or disliking anything I do on the internet and social media especially the unknowns and strangers is a very scary thought and a definite no no for me ....
That is why I have and I will continue to avoid all these highly paying video sites . I might some day when I am too old to type may start a vlog instead of a blog but not as long as I can .
We had a Chehlum fateha 🌹 on home cooked haleem or Khichra . I arranged all the ingredients and the cooking Mafia cooked it overnight and we had fateha by Zuhr time . Honestly it is not the most ideal weather for any special meaty dish but since all my siblings are extremely upset and depressed this year because of the Pandemic Covid-19 and the fact that Trump will get a walk over over his rival Biden and Haris . So I thought it might be good if they saw the home cooked Khichra/ Haleem and remembered all the good old days instead of the Corona effected year .
So everything was okay ....except some YouTube cooking expert advised to add the food color . Not really sure why ?
So even thought it did not taste like daleem it sure looked like daleem .
Next month when the weather is a little better I will probably arrange the ingredients again and hopefully I don't forget to hide the food color 😁
Talking of weather ...
Yesterday afternoon when I woke up and turned on the cold water tap ...I was surprised to have very warm water ....it was almost mildly hot as if it was directly coming from the water heater . Imagine the people on the streets all day . Especially in their air-conditioned Japanese and Korean cars must have felt all day on the streets of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world , Not a very enviable situation I Believe and praiseth the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 that I was not required to go out . Even though the neighbors and passerby on the street do sometimes make such sounds that I cannot resist not checking out . All day yesterday I ignore the sounds and stayed indoors ...I hope there was nothing very important and urgent for my eyes only that I avoided .
No chance of a Chaapa today . And I am also not sure about an election rallies in the neighborhood .
There is no Change in opposition s rhetoric but the govt retracted and surrendered . They took back the case against some opposition party members especially the Senior minister of Kashmir province of Pakistan .
This is not the first time a political leader has revolted against the Army living happily ever after in London uk . But the funny part is that usually they are from the superlatives like the leader of the biggest or largest party ....leader of the biggest or largest province ..... leader of the biggest or largest City ..... And once again ...the leader of the biggest or largest province population wise .....and the plunder wise ...the sad part is that they the leaders in London not only plundered the wealth or the assets of Pakistan , they left it in huge enormous debts . Unreturnable debts ....
Okay then it's time for the fajr prayers 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!
5:19 am Break
6:21 am The Sunrise time today is 6:28 am . So there is still time for fajr prayers .
Some body killed a Mulla' on the street in a karachi☠️ the most dangerous city in the world, Traffic violation and the white tullas could do nothing to collect their money from either . The Pandemic Covid-19 Corona killed so many Celebrity mullas that I thought that Target killing of celebrities in Traffic was out of fashion . But with the Raw sponsor self exiled leader from the biggest and largest... in London back in action 💪 anything old and outdated could be expected .
Letting him go on medical grounds was just as bad as letting him come back during the Musharraf era or the countdown to his fall . He and his team knows how to manipulate the GHQ and the top brass . Anyways they have planned a series of protests in the city in the coming week .
Okay the Sunday breakfast time is slipping away . I have three options ....
1. Go to the market and bring Halwa Puri ,
2. Bring eggs and bread ,
3. Have the left over chicken liver and heart ❤️ with roghni roti I had last night for dinner and go to sleep.
4. Fall asleep at once and skip .
.
I believe in few minutes the option 4. Will be automatically chosen .
😴
11:30 am lol ! Yes that is exactly what happened ...I fall asleep only to be awaken after four hours ...it is definitely early as I usually wake up after noon by azan .
The first tweet of the Sunday Morning.....
Sun 23rd Safar 1442 H
33°C
11:22 am Good Morning !
Very Quiet and Peaceful Sunday Morning .
I am still in bed trying to get up
Can smell the aroma of hot tea ...need to get up and get a cup . ☕
Yes I got the Cup of tea☕
And also checked the burning hot sun 🔥 outside . I believe I should lie down and take a sunbath for my back.
The leftover Chicken liver and heart ❤️ I was planning to eat for breakfast is gone now probably fed to the Cat and her new born kittens ...
So I will probably have to order something from the foodpanda 🐼 can't go out in this hot burning 🔥 sun .
The new neighbour next door did not show up on the first after I called them MQM election office 😜 instead a set of new renting agents showed up and the place remained shut for two weeks as the renovation work was finished . Now from Thursday the activity began again and the split AC were installed . The one facing our garden has Dawlance written on it . Our bananas over the wall survived this installation and showed the color .
Next day after Juma Mubarak a shehzor pickup came with the jaheez . A huge mirror dresser a sofa cum bed etc does not seem very expensive . The neighbours heavily armed guard (Google App ) was really confused . He thought the renovations were too good and expensive . He(Google App) also had a Chaapa from the company and got a new uniform and a blank to ...fire !
I believe that was to be a surprise for me but unfortunately I saw the drill as I was watering the plants outside.
I am sure a lot of people would be interested in that flat since it is exactly facing the construction site . For builder it would be no problem but it would be Mighty unfair if the company had to repay more than it is making from the neighborhood through the ( Google App) .
The neighbours two floor above is now old and sick and tired of the ghetto ...they want to quit but before that they want a piece of my mind to take with them in the final abode . They completely litter my way out with air drop shopping bags filled with Pampers and sanitary napkins .,.and this week when we had our front cleaned and garbage removed by hiring a sweeper ...he call the water tank cleaners and tried to dump the dirty water from the bottom of the water tank on our clean spot . He planned it so well knowing I would be home alone . But I saw and controlled myself and waited till the dear elder brother returned and let him inquire the health . To my greatest Surprise they discussed the matters of mutual interest in a very cordial friendly manner ( Corona effects) . The dirt was removed from our spot and the water usually dries in minutes . The last time this neighbour tried a direct meeting with me was on bakra Eid day 1440 H the one before the last in July 2020.
And before that I believe it was the day of my uncle's funeral four years ago when again I was home alone and he was having plumbing done two floors up so had to put up the long ladder on our side .
The sound of microwave is constantly coming and the smells of aloo ki tarkari cooking is now getting very firm ...so it's time for brunch and the break for Zuhr 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!
12:54 pm Break !
3:00 pm I made a blunder ...after waking up this morning or maybe before in half sleep I picked up the mobile after hearing the Farmville 2 game update notification ringtone and sold all the beewax candles I was making for Eddie the plane guy ...I feel so bad now ...I thought it was the extra lemons . Now I can never fulfill the Eddie's order .
This reminds me of the Lahore motorway M2 drill this week by The useless Airforce ....they invited the communication minister of PTI Mr Murad Saeed as cheap guest and did the exercise of landing jets on the motorways ...IAM not sure what or who was behind this air show ...but if someone get the drift ...please let me know as well ...for as far as I know there is no sponsor for a escape plan for PTI leadership . And isreal hates them just as much as All Except does ....😊
Sorry Wasim Akhram ...the plan did not work ...CBC used force to clean the sea front dump yesterday ....so it's back to the morning sickness....I mean walk ...
💅
The neighborhood is still Quiet and Peaceful ....mpa hostel has guest from home in a black front windshield and all total tinted windows and rare . It probably has the sound as well .....mummy aaj sey !!!
Should I go and check ...they are showing off right now ....I can hear the sound ...I have only 25% battery left ...If they shut down the Electric ....
So during the break I saw a white van parked at our gate to collect the empty large biryani pot ...from the mpa hostel madame had guests last night . Now it's the ground floors turn I guess .
They did not have a muharrum majlis this year ...only small gatherings so I guess this activity is to motivate them ...and has nothing to do with me .....🙁
Her latest Gala commercial remained the talk of the twitterville top trends for two days ....of the week until tiktok took over and now waqar zaka is dating the fatf . With his black and white list trends . Everything he does he does with a passion . I love this one hit wonder kid from my college days ....parha nahi mein ney pura saal ab kya hoga Mera Hal ....D ayay ga E aaay ga ...bachna paon ga mein iss baar .... unforgettable 😊
So we had Puri tarkari for brunch with the Sunday Facebook Meetup and the the bath.
And 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!
Oh somebody must be waiting for the Puri pics I promised to post an hour ago ....got to go ...bye 👋
3:57 pm Break !
Sun 24th Safar 1442 H
33°C
7:54 pm Good Evening !
Time flies ...it's already four hours since the last break ...
And all I did is made tea and had tea ...few times did not count ....helped my dear sister to buy chicken eggs at the highest price ever ....the mobile bakery refused to give change of a thousand rupees for just 170 Rs...the dear sister had decided to return half dozen and keep half borrowing Rs 100 / - from me . When I dig in and found the eidie walay unfolded notes and gave her exactly the change she needed ....
A friend in need should better save all his eidie walay unfolded notes ....you never know ! 😁
Wasiq1Wise
So the Price of Eggs is Rs 170/- per dozen ...plus package ...it must be almost Rs 200/- in the big stores of the United States of Bahadurabad and Azad Karsaz .
The rumors is that PM of PTI is about to take notice of the uncontrollable price increase by his government .
The whole Nation is United in saying *NO*
His notice pushes the price hike from 30% To 💯 %
Sugar was 50 now 110
Atta flour fine 5kg was 220 now 360 - 400
Ginger was 200 kg now 800 kg
Airforce had extra bases to rent ...now they are forced land on motorways ...
PIA had international Airports now they land in model colony ...
Anyway ... So I offered two prayers Asr and Maghrib with a gap of fifteen minutes
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!
Soon after the prayer I went to the market and brought uncooked and cooked takeaway for dinner and lunch and tea tomorrow .
After I returned from the market I took the pictures of the food and then we had dinner .
After my cosmetic surgery the beef kofta looks just as awesome as it tastes ...
The sad part is that ...after all the trouble we go through for this table spread ... 🐈 Cat's eating the left over Chicken liver and ❤️ was Blamed entirely.
Let's see what happens after the 🐈 Cat and her adorable kittens do breakfast with the leftovers from tonight's dinner .
8:45 pm Break !
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming
Yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you with me put your hands high
(put your hands high)
This ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you
I hate that song
I always feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day another Dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
Its easy to be Puff, but its harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask me why I ain't marry their mom (why, damn!)
How do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Shit! But I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs
Another day another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Taneisha I'll be back in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming, home
Is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone (no)
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
Baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
But we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your own
Pick up your phone, come on
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming, home
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
'Til we back cruising through Harlem, these old blocks
Is what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away than embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you big)
And here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)
Thank you all!
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming, home
