The Weather :

The weather here in Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world , remained pleasent ( خوشگوار)

All week . The temperature remained around 30 ° C and cooler in the night . Light breeze and clear sky made the sehri time awesome . But in the end of the week the morning became dusty ...on Thursday and Friday the sky was cleared by drive time ( 10:10 am) ...but yesterday and tonight that is on Saturday and Sunday the sky did not clear . Everybody thought and felt like they were facing yet another deadly heatwave .

No it is not a heat wave confirmed by the experts ...and besides it's not the June or July ..it is the holy month of April and The Good Friday sandblasting .

The Rest of the Country is enjoying Thunder Storms and Hail Storms .

The people of Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world , both the Rulers and the ruled are still undecided about the rain in Karachi ☠️ , the most dangerous city in the world .

The scars of the previous monsoon urban flooding of some of the major and Sargent major housing schemes of the mega polis are not completely forgotten . The clearing of the Rain drain Housing schemes is not even half way through ....rain drains and sewerage system as well as roads , streets and Electric power supply system is in a mess ....even without the rain and urban flooding ....there is no local body city council or city government to turn to for the help . So I am absolutely not sure how the people of Karachi ☠️, the most dangerous city in the world wants for the coming week ....

Rain or Shine ?

Caityln jenner for Governor :

Twitter link

Former Olympian and most famous American celebrity finally announced to run for the Governor of the state of California as a Republican .

Honestly I wasn't ready for this so it is too early to comment about this decision ....I am not even sure if this announcement is any serious . Republicans after Trump are going through a phase and they must be thinking on all options after the Democrats policy of encouraging the Native Americans for some key high profile jobs . I wonder how Gabbie Hannah reacts to this .

Very little time is left before the Sehri time begins . So I need to hurry up and try to reach or cross the first thousand words mark for this my the Sunday Blog № 264 ( Two Hundred and Sixty Four ) .

Youm e IQBAL :

In a personalized message Her Majesty the Queen ,

Thanked everyone who wished her the Happy Birthday . She said that due to a family bereavement she was not able to celebrate her birthday

I simply can't believe she out lived the Duke of Edinburgh .

Over the years or perhaps decades ...the thought must have crossed his mind a million times that something bad could happen to her ....a mutiny in the kitchens of the buckingham palace or the stables of the house of Windsor .

A plane crash over the burmuda triangle or the storm in the English channel .

A plague or Pandemic in Africa or the India

A flip over the palace balcony or a slip from the stairs of the chappal .

Nothing happened .

11:43 am Good.Morning !

There is a clear feel differences of heat when you walk back inside the home after being outside in the sun .

Sandblasting continues ... temperature is not very high but it feels higher like burning

Yes that is so true ...the temperature is not very high as some might be thinking that it has crossed the forty degree mark ...no no it is not very true ...infact last night my room temperature was higher then the actual temperature outside ...and there was cool breeze too . But in the morning when the sun is on 🔥 and there are dust particles in the air ...they gets heated up quickly and gives a heated stream hot feel .....So in dollar $$ terms ...we are being ROASTED !

just like the old Pathan on the push cart oven does a 10¢ chickpea or the corn seeds without the pop ..

It's a very regular sight on the Karachi ☠️, the most dangerous city in the world , streets , markets , parks and schools .

The Schools :

It is a WAR 💂....

The Bitch(British Council) wants to call in the Army for the smooth and peaceful conduct of the Cambridge Levels Exams .

The Education ministry was trying to reopen All schools and conduct the Matric Exams but the new wave of the British variant of the Corona Virus forced them to Shutdown most schools in nearly All districts of the Country .

Pakistan courts dismiss students' pleas against in-person Cambridge examinations

Peshawar, Lahore, Islamabad and Sindh Hugh Courts have dismissed the students' pleas against conducting in-person Cambridge examinations.

The Sindh High Court pronounced its verdict around 4pm, at a time when the Islamabad High Court had already dismissed the students' pleas and directed them to directly present their case before the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC).

SHC's grounds for dismissal

The Sindh High Court, in its judgment authored by Muhammad Ali Mazhar, said that the petition is dismissed on the following grounds:

- The holding of in-person Cambridge exams, "does not infringe or intrude any fundamental rights of the petitioners".

- "The petitioners cannot claim any vested right to evaluate or appraise their credentials and competence by dint of “school assessed grades” and not by means of physical examination," read the judgment.

- The court observed that NCOC's decision was "based on number of circumstances on facts and expert opinion, forethought and premeditation of all pros and cons and it does not seem to be arbitrary, discriminatory or violative of any constitutional, statutory or any other provisions of law".

- It said hence, it does not find "any justification or rationale to interfere" in the decision.

So , The Sindh has Surrendered and Called in the Army ....

This is the most unbelievable time in the History ....Memon Bachies are paying the School fees for not sending their kids to the Schools for almost a year now . Maybe over ....some of Em pay really hefty some ....😂 And No discounts , No codes , no vouchers

Anyways ..

Let's see won wind the match .

4: 11 pm

The Denial :

Yes this is the time when everybody asks everybody else what is for the Iftari cum dinner ...

Then those who have democracy take suggestions from young and old and start preparing....

others just say there is no need to make / cook anything today ....or

Aaj mood nahein hai ....

A little while later ...they themself begin to feel hungry and start preparing or ordering ....

If you check my past 11 Iftari arrangements ...you won't believe they had this moment ....same is with the sehri table spread ....

So let's just ignore it and hope fore the best .....Whatever is in the Iftari will come out a few minutes before the sunset .

Otherwise somebody will order something soon after the Iftari and prayer .

Don't know why but after watching the match I have become very very sleepy ...eyes are almost closed . Soon the mobile will drop from my hand and I will fall asleep 😴

Unless I get up and go out and enjoy the fresh air and make this drowsiness go away ...disappear .

Okay lucky me ...it's time for the Asr prayer ....

So I take a break for the Asr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

At least 82 killed in massive Baghdad hospital fire, ministry says

Baghdad(CNN)At least 82 people died in a huge hospital fire Saturday night in Iraq's capital city of Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Sunday.

Another 110 people were injured in the blaze at Ibn al-Khatib Hospital, according to ministry spokesman Major General Khaled Al-Muhanna.

The fire started after oxygen tanks exploded, two health officials at the hospital told CNN.

Social media videos showed a chaotic scene as firefighters scrambled to put out the blaze and health workers tried to evacuate patients. People from all over Iraq are referred to the hospital in southeastern Baghdad, including many with Covid-19.

People look on at Ibn al-Khatib hospital after a fire ignited in Baghdad on April 25.

"Civil defense teams are still at the scene of the accident, investigating the causes that led to this fire, which caused the loss of the lives of many of patients and their companions," according to a statement released by Iraq's Health Ministry earlier Sunday.

The ministry said health workers and civil defense teams were able to save at least 200 people including patients.

An Iraqi woman sweeps up debris Sunday next to oxygen bottles brought outside the Ibn Al-Khatib Hospital in Baghdad following Saturday night's fire.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi ordered the suspension of Health Minister Hassan al-Tamimi and Baghdad Governor Mohammed al-Atta during an emergency session with his cabinet Sunday.

Both the health minister and the governor will be questioned in connection to the hospital fire, according to a statement released by al-Kadhimi's office.

The Prime Minister also ordered an "investigation that should be completed within five days, and a report to be submitted to the Council of Ministers," it said.

Al-Kadhimi said 10 million Iraqi dinar ($6,800) would be given to family members of each victim.

Mourners pray near the coffins of coronavirus patients killed in the hospital fire during their funeral at the Imam Ali shrine in Najaf, Iraq, on Sunday.

In a statement released by his office, Iraqi President Barham Salih offered condolences to the families of the victims, saying those found responsible must be held accountable.

Salih supported "the decisions adopted by the Iraqi government and the Parliament to call for an immediate investigation into the cause of the blaze until those at fault have been brought to justice," the statement added. He also urged all possible efforts to treat those injured in the fire.

The United Nations Secretary-General's Special Representative for Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, expressed "shock and pain at the enormity of the tragic incident" affecting Covid-19 patients at the hospital, according to a statement from her office Sunday.

Twenty-eight of the victims were being treated in Covid-19 ICU wards, said Ali Akram al-Bayati of the Independent High Commission for Human Rights of Iraq (IHCHR).

In a statement, the IHCHR called on the Iraq government to take a "responsible position" following the hospital fire, saying the incident was a "crime against patients who were forced by the severity of the disease as a result of Covid-19 infection to be hospitalized."

Arish Fatima, a 4-year-old prodigy from Karachi, made history by becoming the youngest Microsoft professional.

Khaleej Times · 8@8 with David Light, Sunday April 25

Listen to this story and more on 8@8 with David Light

At the age of four, Arish Fatima has set a unique example by scoring 831 marks in the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam, the Government of Pakistan announced via Twitter on Friday.

The minimum score for passing the MCP exam is 700 while Arish broke the world record to achieve great success and made Pakistan proud around the world, the Geo TV reported.

Arish's father, who also accomplished the milestone at a very young age, said that while working from home during the coronavirus lockdown, he saw his daughter's interest in IT and helped her in this test.

Arish's father Osama is also an IT expert and sees his daughter doing wonders in this field.

Arish's parents say that their daughter is "extremely capable and has extraordinary abilities."

Mid night :

Having Tea and eclairs toffee .

My Sehri Paratha is ready .

It is a surprise ....a mash daal filled Paratha ...I am not sure if I can eat it and survive . The beef boti I had for Iftari was also a surprise ...but after Isha Prayers 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi

I feel much better .... honestly if I had not been doing this my the Sunday Blog № 264 ( Two Hundred and Sixty Four ) , I would have never kept the maash ki daal filled Paratha in the box and let it go cold . But as you know I had a very slow day today and I am way lagging behind in the word count . So I want to try my best for the next three hours and an hour after fajr 🛐

Once again I will be sleeping right during the OSCARS . And this time I won't regret at all . Even though this could be the most interesting OSCARS of my life with the Covid-19 Corona Pandemic SOPS .

I don't think I have watch any of the nominated movies this year ...funny thing is that I wasn't even interested . I watched many movies this year . But I did not pick them up myself ...I mostly watched the movies that came my way . There was very little choice most of the time especially with the cable . It is funny that a movie on one cable home channel missed or avoided , usually on most of the satellite movie channels same week , same time .

And if you watch a movie or a show or a clip from a particular TV show on YouTube then all movies suggestions and video suggestion will have something in common .

Like I watched the clips from kapils comedy show ...so now all my video line up on all social media has Kapil show lined up and none from

Britain's got talent .....it's not that I am interested in it or something but I find it odd .

The Movies of the Week :

Submarine found !

An Indonesian navy patrol ship returns after a search operation for submarine KRI Nanggala that went missing while conducting a training exercise, April 21, 2021, off Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia, April 25, 2021.

The Indonesian submarine that sank in the Bali Sea has been found, broken into three pieces, and all 53 crew members have been declared dead, the country’s military said Sunday.

The vessel’s wreckage was located Saturday on the ocean floor, the military announced, by a sonar scan that detected the submarine at 850 meters (2,790 feet), far beyond its diving range.

Rescuers found new objects, including a life vest, believed to belong to those aboard the 44-year-old KRI Nanggala-402 submarine. Indonesia lost contact with the sub Wednesday as it prepared to conduct a torpedo drill.

"The KRI Nanggala is divided into three parts, the hull of the ship, the stern of the ship, and the main parts are all separated, with the main part found cracked. There are scattered parts of the submarine and its interior in the water," Military chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto told reporters.

President Joko Widodo sent the families of the victims his condolences.

"All of us Indonesians express our deep sorrow over this tragedy, especially to the families of the submarine crew,” he said.

The cause of the sinking has not been determined. The Indonesian navy had previously said an electrical failure could have prevented the submarine from executing emergency procedures to resurface.

Indonesia police said it would deploy teams to Bali and the Java town of Banyuwangi to help identify the victims once the bodies are retrieved.

Chief of U.S. Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday said he was deeply saddened to learn of the sub’s sinking.

In a statement Saturday he said that “as sailors, we share a love for the sea and have a bond of fellowship with all who sail on it. We have a respect for its dangers and also understand the importance of the world’s oceans to our collective way of life.”

Gilday reaffirmed that Indonesia is a good friend and partner of the United States.

“Despite this tragic loss,” he said, “it is my hope that we will continue to operate together in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.”

Anne Hathaway - She´s me pal

She played my boss

And never was cross

She drove all my troubles away

When she's your friend

She's yours to the end

No matter what others may say

She don't tell me

How I ought to be

She likes me just as I am

So when I get blue

She’s the one I go to

For her heart is as big as a ham

She’s me pal

There ain't nobody else I can see

I know she's dead tough

But her lovein' not bluff

She'd share her last dollar with me

I'd rather have her

With her fifteen a week

Than meet some old millionaire's gal

She's the best - ever was

And I loves her because

She's me pal

She’s me pal

There ain't nobody else I can see

I know she's dead tough

But her lovein' not bluff

She'd share her last dollar with me

I'd rather have her

With her fifteen a week

Than meet some old millionaire's galShe's the best - ever was

And I loves her because

She's me pal, she's me pal

She's our pal
