And this is my the Sunday Blog № 301 ( Three Hundred and One ) 


The Sadness and overeating continued this second week after the tragedy and of the new year 2022 AD. 

But there is just no cure for my condition . I tried my very best to not cry in front of people especially my family . Shaved to look normal . But deep down inside I am very shaken. My mind keeps spinning during the sleep . Usually I wake up sweating and remember the roller coaster ride I had during the sleep . 

For example , one night I was with an uncle and we were trying to fix his car . I have never seen him in my dreams ever before or remember ever having fixed his car or helping him it's been over a decade since he passed away after a very prolonged illness. The recently departed was more fond of him then me . And so was Papa ( May his Soul Rest in peace in heaven Amen 🙏) but I did not see either of them helping ....that night or any other night during restless sleep. After lot of thought and pondering ....I came to a conclusion that the recently departed Wants me to forgive him for something . I simply can't think of a thing he could have done wrong to me .  Besides the second hand smoke or late night family gossiping.  I don't see how that could have hindered his smooth transition to the after life . 

Anyways I forgive him for any wrong whatsoever I could think of or could not even imagine and pray for his soul. May his soul rest in peace . Amen 🙏


We were blessed with a Winter Rain once again this week .

Twice actually . All night long ...

The first Thursday fateha had no body from outside the house due to rain prediction . The rain was a bit delayed but when it started it started nephew stop by going home from office and was lucky to reach home dry as the rain started soon after . Or maybe he did find some drizzle on his way and forgot to mention . 


Tea and Samosa break .....


2:01 am 


6:36 am Okay I fall asleep ....and now it's time for the fajr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Also for the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai 


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!


Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah 

please forgive my dear loving and caring  brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah 

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!


پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

 آمین!


The sleep of past few hours was very uneasy .... something keep repeating ... I am not really very sure ....had two or three cups of tea and samosa so I had to get up and go twice . 

It's 11°C outside so I better get back in bed .... can't have the tea no more . 



Morning mood Tweet :

Sun 5th JamadiusSani 1443H 19°C 10:38 am fall asleep after fajr without tea or breakfast ... I thought that today I would wake up to a very quiet and peaceful Sunday morning ...but out there in the neighborhood a sound of constantly hammer is coming . Windy cold . Back in bed

-----------+++++++++--------------------

Under normal conditions I would be having the special Nihari paya breakfast and sleep all day ....but today is Sunday and we might have visitors especially the ones who were not able to come all week and on Thursday due to rain prediction .

Yesterday we had our proud Pakistani cousins with Canadians Uncle and Aunt from Seattle Washington .

They were here to attend a cousins wedding and enjoy the pleasant weather here . And look what happened to them they have been here three times condoling and listening to the bad time stories of the mourning global yateems .

Two hours before they arrived our electricity was shutdown and returned almost an hour later .


Karachi ☠️ the most dangerous city in the world , used to be a colony and I was made to believe that it is run through the three M's

Military , Mulla and Media .

MQM had roots in all three so it grew more powerful than any past present and future political power .

But now it seems that the Government is done being the green grocer and trying to establish it's writ through the Supreme Court . Judiciary being a very important part of the Government through which the administration of justice is done .

But the million dollar Question is ...??

Why the focus is on independent Nuclear State of Jamshed Town .

Why most of the high profile decisions challenging the 3M's

Kashmir Road , Nasla Tower and Madina Masjid

All within a kilometer or two .

What have I got to do with all this ...?

One more clue like this ...one more piece of a ginger bread and I'll go Nuts . Absolutely crazy .


2:45 pm Okay ..so the preparation for the Sunday Remembrance Meetup had already began at noon .

When I opened the door I smelled the sweet smell of milk rice pudding commonly known as kheer کھیر . In sindhi kheer is just milk ...

So better not be confused .


At about one pm doctor Saab arrived with family ...

Then soon after once again we had a electricity shutdown

But somehow it came back

Then I saw a gas bill in the gate

Inflated ...

The night whistle blower pathan is looking at me just like the hungry kittens every time he sees me standing at the gate ....let's see how this issue is resolved ...


Then younger sister and her kids came .


We had remembrance prayers

And recital .

Quran khawani and fateha .

Then we had lunch .


Chicken Pulao and kheer

I also had tea .


Earlier I prayed the zuhr prayer

With a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai


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!


Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah 

please forgive my dear loving and caring  brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah 

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!


پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

 آمین!






















I don't understand that everytime I eat Pulao and biryani 

The weirdest of the masala  ingredients come in my plate 

Like aloo bukhari and this ..badiyan flower 



Okay enough of  the blog update ...have to go back and join the Remembrance prayer and recital . And see if somebody wants something from the market . 

Something for the tea ...

3:46 pm Break

 آمین!


We also had a call to regret from chachi who said some family members have corona so she could not come . 

Both sons of the uncle I mentioned above from my dream came with family . 

I wasn't sure what to say or how to say it so I did not meet them .

The rest of the family elders and youngers were with them in the Remembrance Meetup . 


After they left ...I prayed the Asr prayer With a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai


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!

پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

 آمین!


While I was praying the door was knocked ....for the Net bill 

I was expecting him but usually he comes after Sunset . 

So this months cable and net bills are paid and the kids knows who's incharge . The salary of garbage disposal lady is paid in advance ...for three months . And She also knows that her job is safe . She is very old and comes to the neighborhood very early . And like a Chinese robot she dispose the garbage all day . Before the new lock in the main gate she used to the open the gate and come and go at her convenience . But now she says she can't so she had to bang the door . Not sure if I will hear it when I resume normal sleep . 


So now four more bills need to be paid . 


Anyways prayed the maghrib prayer With a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai


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!


Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah 

please forgive my dear loving and caring  brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah 

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!


پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

 آمین!


And said farewell to younger sister and her kids ...

Started blogging again ...and was about to get up for the isha prayer when chachi jan from islamabad arrived . Had tea with her ...


9:55 pm five minutes ago I put an egg to boil for my sister ...I don't hear her in the kitchen so I guess she got busy and forgot about it have to go and save it from being over done 



11:43 pm As I was about to return after serving the boiled egg ...Doctor Saab called on the landline ...to get an update of what happened after he left . 

Anyways I have put the tea pot on the stove so I have to hurry up and pray the isha prayer With a prayer for my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai


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!


Dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah 

please forgive my dear loving and caring  brother Aslam Bhai and give him the highest place in Jannah 

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!


پیارے مہربان رب اللہ پاک میرے پیارے اور خیال رکھنے والے بھائی اسلم بھائی کی مغفرت فرمائے اور جنت الفردوس میں اعلیٰ مقام عطا فرمائے

 آمین!





Me and my Recently Departed use to argue everytime he defrosted the whole box or dish of frozen cooked gravy ...I said that why defrost the whole thing if you need to take out just one plate and he said you can't get the full blend if you scratch from one side .. 

You can see I scratched from one side of the box of frozen Nihari ...better luck next time .
