The Sunday Blog № 243

 Today is the Sunday 

The 29th of November 2020

The 13th of RabiusSani 1442 H

Till the Sunset ( 5:42 pm ; Karachi ☠️) 

And this is my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( two hundred and forty three ) 



The Good News is that the Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 week has passed peacefully and that not only this but i survived once again The BlackFriday as well . 

Ironic , isn't it that I need to shop for a lot of things and I hate shopping other than groceries and cooked food takeaways and believe it or not I feel exactly the same with this God the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 sent On-line shopping . . 



Okay enough about me ...there is a very funny video of a musical event on the news channel ...


Somebody took the pistol from the singer and accidentally fired a chamber shot which missed the singer ... The Musical event was in sultanabad area of Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world . 


So how many stage singers carry side arms ...in the US and Korea ? While live performance . 


Obviously they have to be prepared for the verse 😂


So jokes apart ....



Believe it or not ...the rain ...winter rain predictions were proved right with a more than just a drizzle rain and not only we had the first winter rain as expected but it also brought the Winter Chill . It was really awesome 

People who desperately watch me sweating all year and watch .....


Fall asleep 😴 here ...

Woke up few minutes before Sunrise 😳 first i thought I have missed the fajr but then suddenly I realized that there is still time to Sunrise 😊 so i did not wait for the warm water and did the wazu with the cold chilled water and prayed 🛐 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!


Then I recited ¼ of Para № 13  when I was at the 28th Ayat of the Surah Ra'ad ...i hear the end of fajr prayer time from a distant mosque 

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 

("Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.) ( Ra'ad : 28)

After prayer and recite 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!


I had the tea ☕ 


And checked the fresh Winter Chill 😎 .



It is not as chilly as it was yesterday or the day before or most of the week after the rain but it is cold without a sweater . 


Amazingly i fall asleep 😴 doing this my the Sunday Blog № 243 (Two Hundred and forty three ) about my sweaty self and woke up without a dream sweating head ,neck and wet pillow as if I had watched a nightmare ....



It is Sunday breakfast time 😊

But I am neither cold nor hungry and besides i am way behind in the word count for this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred and forty three) , 

So I guess the two things I can avoid right now is eating and sleep 😴 


It's just been less than twelve hours since I had the zinger Burger zinger roll and 🍟 fries that my dear nephew brought from a near by fast-food restaurant during a brief stopover going home from work . May the Dear Merciful Lord All Mighty ALLAH Amen 🙏 

give him a loving and caring wife and beautiful children or the vice versa 

Amen 🙏









It's 8:00 am time get a cup of time and watch news headlines ....

Back to Sunday Blogging...



Oh no ...our cooking mafia is up early today ...I can hear the dough roller ....wait ...is she expecting a Chaapa by Doctor Saab today ? 


I thought he said he'd be busy ...but you never know ...


Our Neighborhood officially turned commercial and global in just one go this week when a global ( US ) firm put up a sign board on the newly renovated house . 

No wonder even the gutter-line man is asking ...


" Aap Ghar baich rahey ho...."


Are you selling the house ? 


There is got to be an international agency I can talk to ...to complain about the KWSB . 

This War between MQM and PDM has completely distroyed the system ...and now it seems that in order to break the MQM from the MQM the United opposition PDM is trying to give it a old school try ...Ha Ha ...

Anything is possible ! 


But why us ? 

It can't be just my imagination ...






Anyways special prayers 🙏 for the Gutter line man who passed away before the engagement ceremony 😢

And Christmas 🤑

And many congratulations to whoever took his place . Because I'll be seeing a lot of him in the day to come ...


Saab haein ? 


I believe the breakfast is ready ..need to go and check ...


Eat , Sleep 😴 Babar ! 


🤔





10:19 am The Electric power supply of the neighborhood is stopped ...shutdown . 

But before that luckily I did not forget to plug in the charger to the mobile . The battery life seems to be over ...need replacement ...in all my previous Chinese mobiles I used to easily change the battery because it was so easy infact in some early mobiles the battery used to come out itself after the fall . Lid open battery out that was the game ..now I don't see any lid or opening for battery or SD card ...I am told that my mobile does not have the privilege of a External memory card ...the 64 GB memory that looked so awesome about a year ago is now at the red level 

Most of the functions of the mobile are slowly turning off 


Anyways , I am ready for anything now ...even in these circumstances and conditions I have done over thousand words already and I believe I have so much time till the Monday fajr time 


Okay time for sleep 😴 now 


We had the Sunday breakfast and Facebook Meetup before the Electric power shutdown ...lucky again 😊
















12;56 pm I fall asleep 😴 and just now I looked outside and saw neighbors all dress and going to party ...so who is dead ... haven't checked the news yet ...














On Friday we celebrated the fateha of giarween Sharif . And today MMM is trying to market their pickwick Mr Ali Jillani ( Gillani) the proud son of ousted prime minister Yousef Raza gillani in Multan 

I am not sure why this jalsa is so important to everybody 

I tried to listen to a tv analyst but he was just taking us for a ride ... nothing comprehensive...



So it's one o'clock almost brunch time ....the neighbors electric generator is still running ...it's so confusing ...let me just turn on the mobile charger it's led will end the confusion .


Okay I am not even half way to the three thousand words mark target for this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred forty three ) so I guess I should relax and take a break 


Aha the neighbour electric generator is off now ...



Telenor just spammed a two kilometre away easy Paisa shop near me for my convenience....bravo 👋


So here I take a break for brunch or lunch or the ...

Also I will pray the 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!


1:27 pm Break !


2:38 pm Okay so everybody is now awake and have prayed 🛐 

I finished the 13th Para of the Holy Quran ...of the 3rd khatam i started for Papa's 13th Anniversary Fateha in mid December . 

May his Soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏


Everybody is sleepy after the breakfast ...so the brunch is gone now we will probably have tea or hi tea or maybe the American system ...not sure ...


If you really ask me I am in no mood for the Sunday Blog ...instead I just want to ...

Eat , Sleep 😴 and Babar 


🤔



After the long electric power shutdown ...nobody touched the tv remote ...so I have no idea why the neighborhood is so Quiet and Peaceful 😊

For two days a kid next door was shouting at the top of his voice while playing with toddlers ...today there is Corona Silence ...not sure why ? 


I have no communication with the poor souls so all I do is guess work or the need to know that I learn from overhearing ...that is also off today ... 


Some very unfamiliar faces were decorating a unfamiliar Jeep Toyota at the corner ...but there is no sign of a wedding in the neighborhood ...so this Sunday is all very confused .



I think I now understand the Telenor spam joke ...very thoughtful ...thanks 

I will start the afternoon Winter walk regularly inshallah ...


There are some sounds coming from the kitchen ...so I better go and check what's up .


Have to go to the market for sugar and it's medicine 😭


Be back after maghrib 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!





Sun 14th RabiusSani 1442 H

24°C

6:34 pm Good Evening ! 



So when I went to check what's up in the kitchen the cooking Mafia was playing with fruits and vegetables ... slicing , extracting juice and what is that called that we do with the carrots for Halwa ... shredding or mincing ... can't remember right now ...but if I remember it before or after publishings this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred and forty three) I will surely add it here ---- in bold red 🔪🍝

So I was asked to bring milk and sugar ...and earlier she had already shown the tablet for diabetes so I had no choice but to go ...

I went ...the medical store out side the clinic had a line there were five people already before me but one was only waiting for cash return she started walking out of the line as I got in line the other two were also cleared quick the third or the fourth needed to go back in the clinic because the available was different from the prescription ...now there was just one person ahead of me ...they did not recognize him so he asked for someone the guy showed his face and smiled at him but said you are not taking my name correct ...anyways while he was there one of the counter boy looked at me so I told him the name of the medicine ...and he told the boy behind him and he went to bring it ..I picked the medicine and handed him the money ...the counter boy went to the cashier and brought my change in one hand and in the other hand the change of the guy ahead me . So I left before the prescription lady returned from the clinic and one more got out of the car ...



Then I went to the store but the store help took up the broom and started  sweeping...so i went ahead and as I was passing by the beef shop I remembered that my dear elder brother needs the bone marrow ( Nulli ) so I jumped up the kerb without thinking and asked him if you have any bone marrow bones left ...the sole customer in the shop who had the back towards me got excited to see me and made a greeting sound so I looked at him there he was an old school mate and neighbor ...I spread my arm towards him and then suddenly I remembered the warning poster on the medical store No Hand Shakes ☠️ so I slide the hand along his hand like two trains moving on different tracks ...took the bone marrow bones from the beef shop and went to the store again by now the sweeping was almost done ...But a guy came and started distracting the shop keepers with a horror story ...I tried my best to remember everything I wanted ... luckily I remembered ...came back quick ...and at the gate I realized I have forgotten the keys inside ...so I had to ring the bell ... luckily since I was bringing the cooking ingredients so I was expected and the gate opened real quick .... otherwise I'd had to bang the door quite loudly like the kashmiran who bangs it every Thursday and some Saturdays on her way home collecting the leftovers and cash .she claims that her mother used to before her and now she is on her death bed ...but I don't see any resemblance ...to anybody I have seen on our gate ...in the past . 



Anyways , so I got in and after unmasking 🤣

I heard the Asr Azan So I prayed 🛐 and recited Para 14 ¼ 

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!



So by then the aloo gajar tarkari was ready and gajar ka Halwa was half way ...at mid way it is called gajarbhat it's sweet to taste ..no fats ...just gajar cooked in milk ...I have always been lactose intolerant so obviously I hate it ....the dish you see in the pictures was returned as it is and added to main stream ...and few minutes later returned as a hot Red gajar ka Halwa ...very sweet and tasty ...I have not had anything so sweet for a very long time ...you can see it even looks sweet ..in the picture 




















Anyways , so after that I posted the pictures and I had to hurry as it was almost maghrib time . 


So I got up and prayed the maghrib prayer 🛐 and recited the para № 14 ¼ and did Sajda № 3 

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!



After that I started updating this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred and forty three ) 

At around 7 : 30 pm when the Isha Azans started I got up again and had a refill for my tea cup also refilled the thermic jug or flask or whatever ... 

Brother call Doctor Saab and sister started Isha prayer so I also came back did wazu and started Isha prayers 🛐 then I recited para 14 ¼ 

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!


Just when I was at Ayat 70 of Surah Nahl 16 the lights was gone electric power shutdown of our block the street lights of adjoining areas were on ...

Allah has created you, and then causes you to die. And some of you are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, Most Capable. ( 16:70)

So anyways ..I finished the ¼  of para № 14 with the help of a rechargeable torch without the electric power shutdown I am sure what would have finished the para №14 now there is the last ¼ left for Fajr prayer .


 then we had a Facebook Meetup . And since the Nulli Nihari was almost ready the issue was the Naan Bread ...

To go to the market oven or to order by foodpanda 🐼

Finally when the electric power was restored and the budget for naan was matched to the minimum we ordered it arrived in the estimated time and the naan bread was hot and in the restaurant shopper ...

So we opened the Nihari ...the color of the ronaq is unbelievable ...the boti was almost there ...so then we started taking the pictures ...I just can't stop clicking ...

And then I ate . 



























Then I washed my plates and came back to this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred and forty three) . 



It's just 10:37 pm and I have crossed the target three thousand words (3101)


This word count is not final because i need to add a few things like media and news and tweets so that a year later if I accidentally stumble upon this blog ...I may know what bakwas I was doing here 


Oh no battery too low need to plug in or it may shutdown any moment 


10:44 pm Break !


Okay so tonight for the first time I have watched the weekend soap of urdu1 tv on on TV  and I don't have to wake up and watch it online on YouTube ....see taraqi ...Progress. Betterment. Improvement. Patterned Advance.

😂


The story of the soap also took the most unexpected twist ...let's see how they

 handle it next weekend ...



Okay it's getting very late so I better do the movies of the week  and then take leave ...

Movies of the week :


Okay  so sad to hear of the divorce

By the way I discovered a new Hindi  soap serial in which my favorite Bollywood actress is doing a singers role ....let's see if am able to watch it ever .....


So this is it ....

Yes it's time to say goodbye and have some sehri without fast ....look how fast the lent 2021 is approaching 17th Feb 2021 ....1st Ramzan 14th April 2021.... Budget proposal in the National assembly of Pakistan 


Okay so I end this my the Sunday Blog № 243 ( Two Hundred and forty three) with the famous and most popular song of the movie Secret Superstar ...Enjoy

Stay Safe 😘

God Bless America 🙏

Allah Hafiz ! 


MAIN NACHDI PHIRA SONG LYRICS TRANSLATION

Teri hi boli bolungi main,
Your words and thoughts will flow from me.
Teri hi bani gaungi main,
In your praise and devotion,will I always sing.

Tere ishq da chola pehan ke
In robes weaved of your love,I’ll dress myself,
Main tujhme hi rang jaungi
And merge into your colors.

Tere ishq da choorha pehan ke,
With ornaments bejeweled with your love,I’ll decorate myself,
Main tujhmay hi saj jaoongi,
And merge into your radiance.

Main nachdi phira ban-than balliye,
I dance wild and free, adroned in you, my love.
Main nachdi phira, cham-cham challiye,
I dance wild and free,resonating with you, my love.

Kehti hai duniya, main hoon banwariya
I’ve lost my bearings, the world taunts.
Sudh se gayi main, khud se gayi main
I’m beyond consciousness, beyond reason,I’ve lost myself, they say.
Teri ho gayi main
I’ve lost my identity to you, they scorn me.

Par jag kya jaane, mann ke ‘fasaane
But what do they know,the mysteries of this heart.
Kho kar khud ko, paa kar tujhko
By losing myself, and realizing you,
Meri ho gayi main
I’ve found myself. I’m complete. I’m one with myself.

Teri nagariya jaungi main
I’ll abandon all ties, and come to you.
Teri nazariya varoongi main
All evil aimed at you, let it befall me.

Tere ishq da chola pehan ke
In robes weaved of your love,I’ll dress myself,
Main tujhme hi rang jaungi
And merge into your colours.
Tere ishq da chooda pehan ke
With ornaments bejeweled with your love,I’ll decorate myself,
Main tujhe hi saj jaungi
And merge into your radiance.

Mai nachdi phira, ban than baliye ho
I dance wild and free,adorned in you, my love.
Main nachdi phira chham chham chhaliye ho,
I dance wild and free,resonating with you, my love.
