Okay So this has been a very different week for me than the rest of the weeks

Of the year so far .

On Monday morning I went to the bank to have the account unfrozen .

When I came home I got a WhatsApp message about the death of a neighbor and family friends elder brother and funeral . It was iftari ( fast break time ) in the graveyard and there was nothing to break the fast except the rose petals ...

Hearing the azan I rushed out of the graveyard and walked towards home hurriedly . Then I saw the sweet shop and bought a quarter kg of Rabri and opened my fast ...and then rushed home .

I reached a little late and the table was cleared of the iftari thinking that I have gone to the house of the deceased person . And all the way I had in my mind that two kinds of patis that we bought on our way back from the bank would be waiting for me on the plate at the table with my tiny cup of tea ....

Shocked I had a spoonful of Rabri and started the maghrib prayer . I had been to the mosque for a second funeral in three months . Did not feel any strangeness at the mosque . Saw many familiar faces . Most of them with the funeral and the rest were the regular (deirena namazi ) rankers .

Honestly if the recently departed Aslam Bhai was alive ...I would have never gone to this funeral . It was totally his turf . He knew everybody there . I was just guessing and hardly knew some of the kids by name . Their grandparents were very nice to me and my dearly departed Parents Papa and Ammi

And then their parents

So I wish them well and pray

Even though we are doing exactly opposite of what was obligatory .

Theirs is a spiritual family ..yet they thrive to make more and more money ....seems like a race now ...

And then there is me ...with so much knowledge and education ...on family support missing bus after bus .....watching titanic after titanic sink .... reminding myself everyday , every minute every second .,..

انا لله وانا اليه راجعون

On Tuesday I relaxed and prayed that I did not catch a viral or pandemic from the bank and the mosque and especially the group hugs at the funeral . There was a bit of a bone chill at first ...but mutton qorma in sehri fixed it .

Also I learned that cows have lumping disease and the government was banging beef and the chicken might also ...after successful meetings between farmers and poultry farmers with the government ...everything was denied and the horse ride boy was arrested for harassing and extortion of an Australian vlogger .

5:56 am Break !

7:03 am Sunrise 6:43 am

Being depressed sometimes makes you eat unhealthy and junk or overeat ...and upset the systems . So right now I made a cup of green tea with ginger from the sample tea bags .....and now I am sweating ... Not turning on the fan ... because if I fall asleep with fan on I might get a cramp ...the last thing I want for today .

And one of the benefits of being depressed is that you worry less about the dressing for the occasion details infact sometimes you don't even care at all . Of the few options I had I finally decided for the least expected one . Elder sister and sponsor forced me to buy a new shoe ....I went along and bought a canvas shoe just to make her feel good . This week I have traveled and took rides and did shopping more than I did in months .Did online shopping only twice . But much less takeaway food . Only snacks like Samosa and patis .

It was our grandmother's barsi anniversary this week but we forgot due to a lot going on so we had it a day later ...and believe it or not we had a surprise chaapa .. chachi and cousin from Syracuse NY came to invite to the wedding . Now how am I going to get a visa and passport in months . Most people get those in days ...but me I bought a shoe in years because I was too high ...and now I am too low .

So low that even being at the brink of a Nuclear war is not making a difference

Every year this week we have the first birthday of the year ..yes my dear niece ' birthday ...ever since they moved back to karachi few years back it's been very difficult to visit her on her birthday ...last year it rained a day early before that it was pandemic lockdown ...before that something else ...they usually come on the nearest weekend .

Last Sunday they were planning a visit but due to mixed connection everything messed up and the visit was cancelled . Anyhow , after iftari I went to surprise her . But she was gone to a wedding or something . Anyways Doctor Saab was really glad to see me at his door . He was alone praying for world peace .

Made tea and offered snacks .

Also visited dear sister's house ...very briefly ..they were relaxing after work and shopping all day and took our chaapa as a wedding related visit and started looking busy . But were really glad and surprised to see us there .

The second test match begin ...in Karachi between Pakistan Cricket team and the Australia . The neighborhood is very relaxed and minding their own business .

courier riders remained off the grid and mobile spamming very limited .

8:31 pm sleepy 😴

Almost ready no panic

Yes we returned from the very important Brunch

Okay Congratulations our very dear Engineer Saab got married to an other Engineer Saab ...so now they are Engineer Double Saab .or whatever .,..

It seems that her in-laws have a fondness for mutton and beef ...and hospitals . So I am sure their culinary habits are. About to have fundamental changes ....less medicines and more tasteless meals ....

9:53 pm Too many pictures and video to save ...

So can you believe ...that after eating Merrily at the brunch drinking soda and sweet ..etc

she came home to discover that her glucometer battery is low ..

So first I prayed isha with with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and Recently Departed Aslam Bhai .

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!

آمین!

First I went to the khan shop but they were out of stock ..I asked him if it's available nearby he said Tariq road .....

But before I set the route ...I just thought that if glucometer and it's performa strips are sold on medical store ...so obviously they must also have the battery for it too ...

Lucky me ....or maybe it was my lucky day ...they had the battery ...the shop keeper was not sure about the price but I was definitely not interested ...so I gave him what he asked ..and returned home triumphantly .

The glucometer worked ...with the new battery . And the sugar was okay ...so now she is eating jalebi ...

I am still undecided what to eat and when to eat ....if I fall asleep now I might get up in time for sehri ...but if I continued to do this my the Sunday Blog № 310 ( Three Hundred and Ten ) and fall asleep after doing the game Wordle 268 ..I might not get up at all

And then I would have to fast without sehri ..

Stomach is okay but mouth is very dry ...I should have brought mint drops from the market .

10:52 pm After a very great deal of deliberation finally had an aloo samosa from the microwave and then made a chapli sandwich
