Wasiq1's Week-ly Blog : The Sunday Blog № 242

Today is the Sunday

The 22nd of November 2020

The 6th of RabiusSani 1442H till the Sunset ( 5:43 pm ; Karachi ☠️)

And this my the Sunday blog № 242 ( Two Hundred and forty two ) .

I don't know why but I really don't feel like the coming Happy Thanksgiving🦃 Thursday is a very happy one for the America and the Americans .

Even though I am not a real American but sometimes I feel like i should or could have been an American . I am very sure that I would have adjusted to all the climates and cultures not to mention the religions $$$🤑

Of the different regions and states .

After the social media I was even tested for the UnAmerican and Atheists as well ...I mean the hard-working and not getting the full value of their hard earned dollars $ , the ones who watch Saturday night live and missed the American dream . Most of them have voted against the President in the recent presidential elections . Don't you think that if you vote for change and you are told to bring change or the deal is off , you kinda feel cheated even though you have what you had . For some odd reason I never feel cheated . Especially after watching a lot of Bollywood remakes of the Hollywood blockbusters .

PSL5 Concludes :

So the final of the PSL5 the Pakistan Super League season five was finally held this week in the National Stadium Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world ,

Funny how this stadium has so far survived the naming and renaming ?

These things require a strong political setup . And since there has never been a political setup in the city, clubs or the cricket associations so how can it be expected to have a strong governing body to look after all sorts of matters of temporary or permanent nature . I won't be surprised if I am told that the groundsmen who looks after the ground and the grass is also appointed in the Qaddafi stadium Lahore office of pcb or icc Dubai .

But taasub or rancor had nothing to do with the final'$ very shocking result .

When ever in doubt , the lahoris play the centuries old card of damsel in distress . Only here in PSL The Pakistan Super League of Cricket they use Rana Fawwad the owner of Qalanders . It was all set the final was between Karachi ☠️ kings and the Lahore Qalanders , they knew that after watching the face of Rana Fawwad on the mega screen and in the stands any lahori in the kings would crumble and give up the desire to win .

A very good psychological strategy .

But , somebody , most probably the Sugar Mafia put all their money on Karachi ☠️ and turned it into a memorial match most probably a benefit match . Most Lahori psychologists will never understand what really struck then down .,..

Anyways better luck next time . 🤑

Cable TV Returns :

Yes we have the PEMRA regulated cable tv once again . Our subscription started just few hours before the PSL 5 final . Even though it had nothing to do with cricket or any other sports for that matter .

When my dearest younger sister announced that she will be returning home very soon after the check-up in the hospital and if the surgeon allowed her to walk up the stairs ...my dear brother realised that after she and her kids are gone home ...it will be very quiet and peaceful. We will be all locked in our rooms and will only get out at will ....he may also be afraid that we may order food from foodpanda 🐼 and eat it in our rooms without disturbing anybody except the neighbors side armed guard ( Google App) .

So the day before my dearest younger sister left he called the cable guy and requested him to restore the Cable TV ASAP . And not taking any risk ...the cable guy was on the onion boat already when my dear brother called again to confirm .

So , I found three of my regular Urdu dubbed Turkish soaps , Bizim hikaye , tatli intikam and that ayse vs Kareem what its name...

Anyways ...

So now I don't need to wait up for the YouTube uploads and downloads and data bundles ....still one soap is left kuzey guney ...not sure which channel airs it on cable TV .

This week I also watched three Hindi movies as well on cable TV movies channels . And today before midnight that is ...a Pakistan ...parey hut love ...demsel in distress...

The press gang never gives up 🦃🦃🦃

Without the cable TV for so long , I had almost forgotten that we need to buy a new tv remote . 🧔

The four movies I watched on cable TV channels were

Kick

Srimanthudu (2015) Srimanthudu (2015)

Harsha, a multi-millionaire who has everything, still feels that there is something missing in his life. In an attempt to fill the void, he adopts a village to bring change in the people.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4727512/plotsummary?item=po2405534

Marjaawan (2019) Marjaavaan (2019)

Raghu and Zoya are enjoying their lives together until a gang leader with harmful intentions turns their world upside down.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9248934/plotsummary?item=po4840300

Parey hut love

So the first one I have watched before ...

The second one was a South Hindi dubbed ...they usually are too fast and too many in just two hours ...and I am just returning to Cable TV so I must confess I left in the middle ,

The third one I thought I watched it but after watching I did not feel the deja Vu so maybe I missed it or watched it at a bed time .

And you know the fourth ...so let's not talk about it .

Micro Smart Lockdown imposed :

After miserably failing to govern , maintain law and order and check price control . What other option does both Sindh and Rangers government has left but to lockdown and save whatever pride is left and make some easy money on the go .

I admit it's a bit difficult time globally , but Pakistan's foreign Policy has never been so unsure . The United States and the neighbors do not recognize the foreign minister at all , they only listen or consult the Gen Bajwa and the institutions . What seemed quite obvious is the fact that after giving him the post retirement extension for three years , the United States preferred not to appoint a full Carrier diplomat in the US foreign service as the Ambassador to Islamabad . This is absolutely demoralizing if it was not the policy of the Out going Trump administration

Let us all hope and pray that the first Woman President of the United States of America after taking the oath of office sends a highly decorated retired four star general to Islamabad as a full term Ambassador with a purse .

I really don't think there will be anything new that we have not already seen and survived in the previous lockdown in our Town and neighborhood .

During a short break I had a jam toast and hot tea

For supper we had zinger burger and rolls from the fast-food joint just hundred metres away opened very recently ... because we missed my dearest younger sister's kids who like any other normal kid loves to eat fast-food especially the zinger burgers

This new fast-food restaurant started with huge discounts and awesome deals making them the cheapest in the marathon race with other bigger and more established ones but slowly they reduced the opening discounts still their burger deals are under $2 whereas others are exceeding $2

The US and Australian Frenchies fast-food restaurant have the same things with awful taste and less quantity in double the price $$ or more probably because they have to import most of the ingredients from the United States or Australia which may cost them a fortune.

The funny thing is that global Pandemic hurt them more then the local unbranded restaurant s

God Bless America 🙏

Okay it's time for the prayer break not sure if I will continue after the break or will immediately fall asleep

Today I have absolutely no plan of having a special Sunday breakfast or brunch but I cannot be sure about it

Anyways ,

The Fajr Azan has started just now so here I take break for 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!

5:53 am Break !

The first tweet of the day ...

Sun 6th RabiusSani 1442 H

27°C

7:19 am Good Morning !

Google says the temperature is 14°C but I don't feel it . And my clock thermometer is not moving .

Anyways I had breakfast after fajr and now I will try to sleep 😴 https://t.co/ptVbCyZIRI

12:50 pm Good morning again !

Woke up had tea ☕

Watered the Rose plants 😍

Thanks to builder mafia we have no sunlight for the rose plant so I don't think they will survived the first winter rain coming up next very soon . So anyways it's a good morning exercise ...as long as we have water .

The water and sewarage board has totally turned against us because we are the last one standing ...it seems like the builder mafia has recharged everyone in the neighborhood especially since they got the first and last property of my dearly departed Ammi's holy family

( May her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏)

Unlike my dearly departed Papa s unholy family ( May his soul rest in peace in Jannah Amen 🤲) it was never called Mamo jaan' s house or somebody's Ghar ...infact it was named by the address number xy-B

Pure manto style or something in Urdu and English literature .

20 bleakhouse road ...no that was a little different I guess .

Anyways ,

So now I guess Papa's Uncle's house is the last ones standing

( May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲) besides ours in this neighborhood .

There is one more on the other side of the highway about a km away that used to be called Papa's dear cousin's house

(May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲)

Not sure who lives there now but I am certain it's there . Funny nobody knows or remembers it's address ever ...even I don't think I ever heard anybody saying the number . The address was very easy because the first and last house on that street belonged to the holy family ..infact of the three dozen or more houses on that street about half a dozen belonged to the holy family or their friends ...

1:15 pm Shampoo Bath and Zuhr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

2:00 pm had a Facebook Meetup ....my dear elder brother started getting irritated with my bak Bak ..so he sponsored takeaway from foodpanda 🐼 ...but I offered to go to the market ...as I needed the sunshine walk .

2:45 pm went to the market oven and street kitchen for the lunch .

Brought chicken karhai single plate , chicken qorma single plate , beef qorma NA , three naan roti .

A box of zeera biscuits

3:15 pm Had lunch and a Facebook Meetup . Gave the hissab of all the money I saved today and yesterday .

Took orders for further essential purchases like milk

3:30 pm got up from the table cleared the mess , throw the shoppers and washed the plates , of course only mine .

4:10 pm Asr azan at full volume begins ...one was also heard about forty minutes ago ....

Begin to feel a piece of food in the meal has got stuck in between the teeth and the gums ...first I tried to clear it with the tongue 😜 failed then with the finger 🤫 failed

So now just trying to ignore it

Need to brush now can't ignore it ...but first siesta for few minutes 😴

4:22 pm Somebody unknown rang and banged the door and made me get up ...I thought somebody ordered food by foodpanda 🐼

I confirmed from everybody first ...this took about a minute or two ...by that time whoever it was was gone ... neighbors side armed guard ( Google App ) was too busy trying to understand his new Hot 10 made in Korangi (Kia) Chinese mobile , so I did not disturb him to ask who was on our gate ...

Back inside I saw sister checking her medicine stash

For the micro Smart Lockdown ...throwing away the empty box and wraps

I had 7up and tea ☕ and returned to my siesta 😴

5:06 pm getting up for wazu and prayers of Asr and Maghrib with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

Sun 7th RabiusSani 1442H

27°C

6:05 pm Good Evening !

Finished prayers 🛐

With a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

Now some quick foodpanda 🐼 browsing for any Zabardast deal or something new ... honestly I am so full that I might loose control but

Still let's see if it hurts 😂

6:30 pm Done !

Need to go out and grab a cup of tea ☕

Also need to know the topic of discussion outside ...can't hear it properly from here even though it's very quiet and peaceful ...just like a early winter's night during micro Smart Lockdown 2

7:03 pm Had tea☕ ....and now helping my dear elder sister in clearing the internal Storage of her mobile . The mobile storage was full and it was constantly threatening to stop most functions and apps . She takes a lot of pictures and videos and then save them on external storage devices but unfortunately her computer and my laptop is not working and due to this Corona lockdown rumours there is no chance of taking them for repairs ..

So anyways ever since Doctor Saab brought a working OTG for me , she has been searching for her bag of empty USB and memory devices .... I watched her going through her junk desperately looking ...until I could watch no more ...so then I offered my 32 gb packed USB which

I bought for saving files on my laptop ...it had USB virus so I kept waiting ...till I find someone or a way to save my file from that virus before transfer ...but as you know delay defeats the justice ...the laptop developed more file corruption and stopped working ...so now I also have a full mobile storage and I don't have a type C OTG which is actually a very cheap device but only one in ten works .

So today I thought that if I helped my dear sister maybe Dear God the All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 will help me ...you won't believe this just I pushed ok on the file manager move files ...it was not even 10% files moved ..when I heard the very excited voices ....from the other room ...I knew something was wrong ...I went to check and they were so happy that the desktop computer started ....by changing the monitor . So now I can also empty my mobile storage to the computer or the USB ...I will have to see .

But the question is ?

The Americans destroyed the Nazis , they again destroyed the Communist in Russia and now in China by doing that they have destroyed the uniformity around the world ....okay maybe it's a good thing to have diversity in thinking and mental depression ...but why can't the world have a similar electric plug worldwide , a same size Sim or a just single size micro USB ...?

Americans are very crazy and make others crazy and make then make things of so many different shaves and sizes when we could have a very identical shape and size device peripherals.

Think 🤯

8:03 pm Done !

All image and video files in mobile internal storage DCIM ( no idea what it means ) moved

Mobile storage at 50% now

One 32 gb USB gifted before Happy Thanksgiving Thursday 😭

8:55 pm live video chat with doctor Saab

9:00 pm Mrs Sharif passed away ....in London . Allah maghfirat karey Amen 🙏

9:15 pm Wazu and Isha prayers with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

9:40 pm Dinner 😋

9:50 pm checking foodpanda 🐼 app for Rabri

Failed .

10: 50 pm So I have crossed the three thousand words target already so I can end this my the Sunday Blog № 242 ( Two Hundred and forty two ) right here right now and watch the weekend soaps or just watch surf channels or may even lie in bed and slowly fall asleep .

After eating the leftover lunch for dinner with a boiled egg 😋 I was sweating and now I have cold feets again ...I don't understand this weather or my body temperature .

Anyways I need something sweet so I will go and have butter or jam slice with tea .

11:10 pm had a butter slice with sugar

And a cup of tea .

Watched a few minutes of Rajnikant as a police commissioner South Hindi dubbed movie .

Learned about the Scotland yards action to recover Mrs Sharif dead body from the funeral . The news channels here are unsure if the ban on her son also includes her as well . So far most of the news channels are totally avoiding the news , very few are running the ticker about the action without any details . I missed the top of the hour news so I cannot say anything .

I was all set to finish this my the Sunday Blog № 242 ( Two Hundred and forty two) before midnight today but now i feel an extra hour won't hurt the global weather .

The coming year will be very tough for me . If I did the Sunday Blog № 300 ( Three Hundred ) in my home then that would mean that a lot of people would be in hell . Both here and the hereafter .

And me and my dear siblings may not be in a very good shape both physically and mentally . And if I had to leave my home then I have no idea what the future holds . The replanting especially of the social outcast like myself from our neighborhood is not very successful not really sure why .

But I am mentally very open to any idea and suggestions

Okay I could not find the story about any police action by the metropolitan police ...so never mind I can do it next week ..after they decide about bringing her to Pakistan or burying in London .

My favorite folk singer Ata ullah essakhilvi passed away this week قمیض تیری کالی تے سوہنے پُھلاں والی

بھانویں وسیں تُوں ولائیت

اساں کرنی نئیں رعائیت

تینوں لے کہ جانا اے میانوالی.....

Kameez teri. Kameez teri

Kameez teri kaali ni sohne phullan waali

Ni tikka tainu sajda

Ni mathe utte sajjda

Tainu jinna vi main takaan

Nai rajdiyan akhan

Tainu takeyan dil nahio rajda.

Ni sohne phullan waali

Qameez teri kali ni sohne phullan waali

Mul vikda ae roon mahiya

Ik changa tu lagna ae

Dooja fer vi tu mahiya.

Tu pailaan paavein

Te nakhre deekha ve

Rabb kare sadda mel

Kadi aa jayi sa vel

Sanu behn de zulfan di shaavein

Kameez teri. Kameez teri

Kameez teri kali ni sohne phullan waali

Written by:Attaullah Khan Essakhailvi

The water and sewarage board line man who used to open and close our gutter like clockwork or the seasons of the year also died , neighbors protested as if ....

Okay , it's time to end this my the Sunday Blog № 242 ( Two Hundred and forty two )

Today I have chosen a very old song from my school days

I am sure you will love this song and especially the second video with not just one singer but two singing it in very different voice .

‏کسی حکومتی شخص میں اتنی انسانیت نہیں تھی کہ مجھ تک دادی کی وفات کی اطلاع پہنچا دیتے۔ میں نے میاں صاحب کو درخواست کی ہے کہ بالکل واپس نا آئیں۔ یہ ظالم اور انتقام میں اندھےلوگ ہیں جن سے کسی بھی قسم کی انسانیت کی توقع نہیں۔

Wow what an interesting week ahead already Maryam tweets that nobody informed her of her grandmother's death and saved her from the jalsa ...and the mobile jam saved her from a early U turn ....and the PM condolences ....

I very much feel like starting the next Sunday Blog ...right now .

And I don't wanna Miss ...a thing..

So happy Thanksgiving , And Rain if falls as predicted and the giarween .

All the best 😍

God Bless America 🙏

Allah Hafiz !

Mariah Carey

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know there's
Just no getting over you

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you

My head is saying fool forget him
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
