And this is my the Sunday Blog № 291 ( Two Hundred and Ninety One ) .


4:33 am Okay So I have been sleeping all night ...amazing ! 

Just got up after midnight for few minutes started this my the Sunday Blog № 291 ( Two Hundred and Ninety One ) and this time fall harder ...must be the take away food we had last night to celebrate the passing of Matric Exam by my dear younger sister's kids . It was also the first Happy Anniversary of my Dear younger Sister's life threatening hospital admission and operation . The dear merciful lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 

Saved her to see the day .... inshallah we will have many more happy occasion to celebrate and enjoy in the coming years .

Amen 🙏


And talking of Celebration 🎉 


Pakistan ( PCB) team beat all it's arch rivals in the icc T20 WorldCup in the gulf comfortably ....except England the group leader which unfortunately is in the other group ......and will inshallah face in the finals .

I don't believe they beat Australia yesterday in the group match sending them below the top line to quality for the semi finals . Their next game will probably be a decider . I have been too infatuated with the other group and The demolitions that I totally ignored Enemies of the Enemy group .

Anyways 


There were two more important events in my life this week ....

My very Happy Birthday 🎈🎉 according to the Islamic lunar calendar 

and a very sad 3rd Death anniversary of my dear uncle in Florida . 

May His Soul Rest in Peace in Jannah Amen 🙏


The two failed marriages and three loser kids are definitely good enough to make him hate this world enough to qualify for the paradise ,  heaven or Jannah .... whatever 


Due to excessive  and routine less over eating of the junk food on the Eid Milad week soon after the fasting ended , was taking my Digestive system on the wrong track so I fasted on my birthday 🎂🎉 

And found that even that was not enough so I starved for the next thirteen hours six in the evening to seven in the morning ....

Felt really very good .

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏



Due to the very confusing weather here ...eating habits are badly effected . Nose dry like winter throat eyes and ears clogged with mucus ( بلغم ) 🤧

Fan on gives you shivers and fan off makes me sweat ...it's not just me all my sibling are complaining the same . Can't afford to cough or sneeze 🤧 in these hard Corona Pandemic times . Can't eat the things I have been planning for months . The seasonal food .


And talking of seasonal food ..

My very dear elder siblings cooked everybody's favorite Buffalo 🐃 trotters for my Happy Birthday 😀🎉

Awesome 👍

Thank you ❣️☺️ 

I had it twice before and after the fasting ....

Unfortunately the chilling winds changed and I began to sweat profusely after every meal ...so I freezed the remaining for cold cold nights ....shivering bones ...


Thank God the Almighty Allah Amen 🙏 

The Weekend chase for cooked beef trotters commercially available is over for this week ...



Fajr time slipping away ....

Sunrise 6: 39 am 


So here I take a 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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!



6:03 am Break  ( 685 words)


7:12 am Skipped the special Sunday breakfast and had a banana 🍌 and lots of tea ☕ both with milk and without . 


Few interesting events in my life this week which I am not sure how to translate into dollar 💰 terms ....

Seems like a game changer but could be just my mistake and instead are only just the life time achievements ....


First the very next morning / afternoon after Pakistan beat India in the icc T20 WorldCup2021, I woke up to the shocking news that madame Qurashi and her banker son have deserted the ghetto next door . Since I have not seen or heard them move ....I remained in a state of disbelief all day ...until after the sunset when I saw their kitchen window shut and dark ....( In qurashion pey kitni bhi Nazar rakho ...koi na koi kaant kar he deytay Hain ) . 

Anyways  ...I honestly feel like I survived a checkpoint charlie blown to bits ....while by dear elder brother is planning a bunker for the living room and other precautionary measures for the change of guards ceremony 🎑 soon . Other siblings as usual are unaware of the lurking dangers of the Climate change especially at this point in time .


Facebook is dead or in Coma ..not sure about anything ...




https://www.dailywire.com/news/meta-facebooks-new-name-mocked-online-means-dead-in-hebrew‘Meta’: Facebook’s New Name Mocked Online, Means ‘Dead’ In Hebrew


After months of treatment at home by doctors in the family from here and abroad ...Mrs Saeed the neighbor was finally taken in a big yellow Ambulance ....


She was a very regular walker and we often met on the way to the mosque/ market . When I gave up and choose to stay home and follow the Covid-19 Corona  Pandemic precautions after the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic lockdown Culture , She kept her routines and regularly went for the evening walks and morning shopping . Never thought I would have to see her lying on the big red strecher some day ....






Very very excited ...yes ...jumped up and down the wall  many times to find an update ...no news yet ...


Of all the very many neighbors that came and left in my multiple Life times ...she was very different ....in many ways ...unlike others it will be very difficult to be  completely forgotten ....


Ahh... My dear sister hate it when I talk about any parosan fondly ....she has started cooking Puri s to go with the take-away kat a kat ( maghaz fried) ...and making fresh tea ....very distracting ....I thought she was gone back to sleep 😴 ....


Aha I have to take a short pause and take some pictures before the kitten leave paw 🐾 marks on my Puri ...


So I have a good news , a sad news and an alarming news ...about these unwanted strays ....


Which one first ....? 


Never mind ...


A kitten 🐈 was found dead in mysterious circumstances at the gate ....


The kitten in the dinning room make friends with the surviving one ....so now I have to worry about not one but two ...



And the neighbors pet cat 😺 is almost there ....




Oh my my .....does anybody know Elon musk or somebody at spaceX blue origin whatever ...



Okay then it's time for the skipped breakfast 🌮 🍳



Pause ! 





















Sun 24th RabiulAwwal 1443H 31°C 12:18 pm Good Morning ! No I did not sleep today ...despite the weekday vendors making special rounds on the street ...the neighborhood is still very Quiet and Peaceful . I am loving it ....no sign of winter chill ...too much leftovers to eat ....

Feels like I have been sleeping for long but the sound of zuhr Azan and time in the wall clock says otherwise...

Finished the leftover chicken 🐔 Biryani from last night a little while ago ...this must be the effect ...someday I will learn to make the biryani so that I don't have to eat the vegetables and spices I cannot and should not eat in the take-away biryani .

2:03 pm okay I need to get up and get dressed we have a Chaapa ...


So here I take a break for the 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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!


3:55 pm Good Evening ! 

Everybody went shopping ..so 

Having nothing to do...I did not touch the Tv remote...

Instead I searched and found puri ...and malai boti and some daal ... awesome 

Then tea ☕


5:29 pm So the shopping party returned from the mall... isn't that a blessing to have a mall open on Sunday .

Praiseth the lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏


They brought the Cake 🎂 and ordered rolls and samosas that arrived a little later ....in the mean time I prayed the Asr 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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!


After the prayers we ate 



























We are calling it the pre party ...

No idea what it means ...






Mujhey Kya ! 


Okay then time for the 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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!




3:21 am Too relaxed ... skipped the dinner and had some more snacks and fall asleep 😴


Totally missed the midnight to wish her Happy Birthday 🎁

Had prayed the isha prayers very early 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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!


So I got even more relaxed and continue sleeping 😴 

Woke up for Fajr prayers thinking that I missed it ...turned on the lights and it was three in the morning ....

Feeling very hungry but I cannot decide what to eat ....probably fry an egg or boil it ....that would be better ..


4:30 am Boiled an egg ...and while it was boiling ..I made a cup of instant coffee ☕ 

The egg was perfectly boiled ....the egg was much better than the dozen we had last week from the milk shop ...for some unknown reason it's white was not getting harder in the normal time ..peeling it was very difficult ..imagine the egg shell not getting off the boiling hot egg . The skin inside the egg shell glued to the soft egg white and you are burning your hand peeling it and completely deforming the shape of the boiled egg . Once I even gave up peeling and decided to use a spoon to eat the remaining of the egg with a very hard overcooked egg yolk . 

Today I pulled out the boiling egg early as soon as my instant coffee ☕ was ready ..egg peeled nice and easy and the egg yolk was good perfect orangish yellow . Did not slice it just eat it but by bit ..pouring salt and pepper in hand ...who would wash the knife and a plate  twice at this hour ...saw the last piece from the cake and finished it while sipping the mouth burning hot coffee ☕ and watching Geo Entertainment serial ( Nimra khan) 



Humaira bano the regular actress in most Geo Entertainment serial s did not get to play the role of cunning mother of angry young loser this time instead she is the innocent mother of the rejected yet hero's mother's pick .

Very interesting change ...

Funny thing is that I have not picked any of the Geo Entertainment serial s yet ...As there is no time at all to regularly watch a serial in the evening after urdu1 , Sony and sports channels , but I know the stories .



Movies of the Week : 



This is it . 

November and 

The Happy Thanksgiving Shopping season arrived so soon I was not at all ready mentally prepared for the technology upgradation. Everybody around me especially my siblings and the kids have started talking about it .no matter how hard  I try to remain rigid uncompromising ...I am positive that I will end up spending more than I should . 

Time to pray 🛐

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!



اللہ پاک میرے پیارے والدین ، ​​پاپا

 اور امی پر رحم فرمائے ، اور ان کو اللہ تعالی کی رحمت نصیب ہو ، اور ان کی روح کوجنت میں آرام نصیب ہو ۔  آمین!


5:55 am Break

Got lucky digging in the big box of frozen gravy from the softer side I thought was just gravy after melting in microwave it turned out to be the paya boti..soft and jelly like...


Praiseth the lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏



Ay Balam

Song by Sevcan Dalkiran 



Ben neler hayal ettim
Karşıma çıktı neler
Sokak sokak geziyorum
Senden yok hiçbir haber
Kısmetimiz bağlanmış
Karşımızda hep duvar
Yar sana neler oldu
Bak bize deydi nazar
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter
Tanrım alnıma seni yazdı şükürler olsun
Senden başka bir el bana dokunursa haram olsun
Seni seviyorum
Bunu tüm dünya alem duysun
Dilerim Allah'tan ömrüm kollarında son bulsun
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum
Seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter
Ay balam
Gül balam
Gecelerim keder
Ay balam
Gül balam
Aşkımız oldu heder
Geceleri geziyorum
Seni bulamıyorum
Ay balam
Gül balam
Ağlatma yeter yeter


Update: 

Woke up Monday morning by the phone landline ringing .. hesitantly I got up and walked to the phone checked the cli ( caller no ) I was too sleepy 😴 could not recognize but since it was the sister's happy birthday so I thought it could be for her ..

It was a former neighbor and he gave a message for my elder brother to tell him that our dear neighbour mrs Saeed has passed away in the Aga Khan hospital last night at 2:00 am .

For the past decade or more somebody in the family and friends dies on the first of November or in the birthday week most people with prolonged illness like our two very dear uncle's ( chacha saab and Mansoor Mamoo) 29th Oct and 3 Nov 

Both being in the last stage of their illness and already said goodbye and forgiven for everything we knew .

But our neighbors usually don't die in this week and it is so hard to believe that she died of pancreas Cancer . I thought she was being treated for corona pandemic at home . 

It took twelve hours and 0.7 millon Rupees  to release the dead body ...

Even thought her daughter is a former employee of the hospital 🏥 she came twice from the US ..during her illness . 

Recently I have observed that people like that with body here and soul abroad only speed up the death process . 

Anyways her funeral was held after maghrib prayer a small group of family and neighbors attended including my siblings . I stayed home and watched Kurulus Osman season 2 episode . 


Hats off to my dear elder sister ( cooking Mafia)  after coming back from her house she cooked a very nice meal of Mutton Pulao . 







Doctor Saab and his family missed everything the food and the excitement .. 

Not sure in what mood we would be when he comes with a holding thought .

One thing is for sure ...Cancer ♋ Never Dies ....

So better luck next year 😜

 

England beat srilanka very comfortably ...in the run for the semi-final and qualified . They would probably play with afghanistan or newzealand  to play with pakistan in the final of the icc T20 world cup 2021 in the UAE and Oman .
