It has been the most unbelievable week of my life .

The weather .com of Google was predicting scattered thunderstorm ⛈️ with precipitation of above 60% most of the week . It didn't rain on last Sunday . So the confidence in the predictions was shaken ...but on Monday the 4th of July there were news of heavy rain in most parts of the bigger than a city and smaller than a country Karachi ...



And finally after a lot of chaos and confusion we finally get to see the rain but no thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon and since then it became a regular thing . Life in Karachi began to come to a stand still . The unconstitutional administrator of kmc and his team kept a body language of denial most of the week but on Friday night their body language changed .

And yesterday I did not see his presser or flag march in the dark . The disastrous rain changed its modus operandi yesterday instead of coming from the bay of Bengal ...and raining on the north , east and central districts severely ...yesterday it attacked from the Arabian sea ...and battered the south districts . Kmc head office , and the houses of the administration in DHA Karachi

No flag march tonight to show the dry streets of my neighborhood and town .

Break for wordle and checking water pumps .

The second most unbelievable thing is that Elon musk broke the deal with Twitter I feel really sorry for the people who changed their like  💙 to blue and said he did it already . While yesterday's announcement indicates he never left the conference room . I don't understand what problem does he have with so many fake Twitter accounts. I believed he is an economic super genius ...or maybe he is ...just played the big bull just by announcing the buying of Twitter and then not buying while kingdom was busy celebrating . 


And talking of celebrating ...another big news this week is the brutal assassination of former japanese prime minister Mr Shinzo Abe by a navy seal .


Police say Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, fired two shots at Abe as he was making a political speech in the city of Nara. The first shot missed, but the second hit Abe's chest and neck, and despite attempts to revive him he died several hours later.


Yamagami was unemployed and a former member of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force for three years, police say, and attacked Abe because he believed he was associated with a group Yamagami hated. Multiple handmade guns were later found at Yamagami's home.



Watched Wimbledon 2022 




Internet subscription is increased and the fee collector came early on 6th instead of 9th of the month . Plus the quality and quantity of both internet and cable has been very poor lately due to rain and loadshedding . Still I did not miss a single Sehri meal and completed my eleven fast of Zilhij . Nine after the sighting of the Zilhij  moon and two while it was taking shape . 


So now my fast count of the year 2022 is 82 fasts so now I am just 18 short of a century. Which I hope will be completed in muharram and rabiulawwal or Rajab . 


My dear elder sister was too eager to sacrifice a goat 🐐 today but in the end she decided otherwise due to the persistent rain and scattered thunderstorm ⛈️ 

My laziness and lack of interest  had nothing to do with her final decision . I am so glade this all will be over in a day or two ...and after that I will be able to relax and enjoy the rain and scattered thunderstorm ⛈️



So the makeshift cattle markets were not able to live up to the expectations of some of the news channels staff and anchors . Instead of encouraging and motivating their viewers they are only showing the bad and ugly  picture of rain deranged Bakra/ cow Mandi 

In my block of the society only twenty five percent of the animals can be seen of what we had last year . No idea how bad the things are in other areas of the city . Since this is our first Bakra Eid after the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai ( May his Soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🙏) 

Our interest is next to none . But watching the mess and desperation of the show-offs on this strictly religious event. Makes me realize that no matter what I do the buck does not stop here .


For the past eleven days I use to start preparing the sehri meal at this time so today since I cannot fast because of the Eid UL azha day nothing stops me from having a meal before fajr prayer . 

There is some leftover mutton Pulao which I defrosted with great effort for the last iftari of the season so I need to get up quick or I will miss the fajr prayer and regret it all day long . The reason why I did not eat it at iftari is because it felt very cold after the hot and spicy fries and pakoras. Which I cooked myself 


3:49 am Don't know if the decision was bad or the timing was wrong . Now I feel even more sleepy and the fajr time is still half an hour away .. 




More clouds are gathering ... humidity and precipitation has increased . 


British prime minister Boris something .....fired ! 


Almost there....



4:59 am fell asleep ! 

Still sleepy 


5:10 am Okay so now I should get up and pray fajr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and 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!


5:11 am  Break ! 



Sun 10th Zilhij 1443H 

32°C 

11:36 am Woke up to a light drizzle ...looks like it could rain any moment ...very cloudy 

Blood on the street 

Had tea not hungry 

Skipped the Sunday Brunch


Okay so the ritual of Qurbani or Adha has began all over town and beyond .

Let's see if the Dear merciful lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 

Responds to it and how .

The land grabbed new goths and the old city areas of the British Raj era are already facing urban flooding thanks to a life long PPP loan Rule . 

Unlike srilanka the situation here is much better ...and there is very little chance of mob and riots . Even though the American sponsored PTI is playing with the sentiments of the poor and the very rich . The mostly educated middle class is much better off and surviving  the negative and rebellious mindset . They are paying both the direct and indirect taxes and also performing the religious rituals very devotedly . 


12:15 pm I cannot believe this despite all that urban flooding all week and especially the DHA Karachi yesterday ...we have a Chaapa with a capital J 

Next year I am definitely buying an Airline ...

12:27 pm Have to go check the water pumps , check the thunderstorm and of course the Chaapa ...can't leave my dear elder with her cooking alone . 


1:42 pm Survived the first and most probably the last Chaapa of the day 

Rain or thunderstorm did not come here ...must have went the highway ....

Okay as the direct result of the Chaapa ..

I have been demoted and my dear elder sister has been Empowered 

So she is cooking the mutton Karahi from the Panda mart mutton ( Halal) 

With Nestle Yogurt 

And I am planning to go and stand in line at the market oven for naan bread 

After I am done with the water pump and the qassai leaves .

So in the mean time I pray the zuhr prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and 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 !

Takbeer e Tashreeq is recited after every prayer farz in loud voice for the days Eid Ul Azha 


اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْد


Transliteration: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La Ilaha Ilallah Wallahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Wa Lillahil Hamd



Meaning: Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no deity (no god) besides Allah and Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest and to Allah all praises belong.

5:38 pm No rain here yet .the news ticket says it's been raining in parts of the land grabbed Karachi 

Mother Nature have plans ...


I went to the market oven and brought naan bread and had a late lunch 






















Nephew brought meat from his family cow 






For the past eleven days I used to be slow and sleepy after Asr prayer in the last hour of fasting and today I am slow and sleepy because I have eaten . 

Anyways , 

It's time to pray Asr with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and 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!

The cable was off so I waited for the maghrib Azan and after Azan I prayed maghrib prayer with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and 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!

After prayer there was somebody at the door I went to see ..the dear neighbors had sent this Biryani 
















The cable has returned bit the ptv sports is dim ... color less and the other sports channel beIN of Qatar media is just switched of .... obviously some rights issues . 

So this shows that Mr Ahsan Iqbal can play cat & mouse with Sargodha girls at McDonald's and I cannot even watch a game on sports channel 

Okay no problem ...

Got to go and watch the next episode of zalim Istanbul 


9:13 pm Break ! 


11:53 pm during the Turkish series Rain started outside in Karachi ...and it continued till 10:30 pm . After eating the hot and spicy biryani and then also eating the hard raw mango ...I feel like scratching my neck then suddenly the rain started so I stood their in the rain and in few minutes the itch and scratching feel was gone . And I began to drink the leftover tea . Rain in Karachi is indeed a blessing. 

Amen 🙏
