Survived the April fool's again ....

And it was not just me ....the news is that Pope Francis was also released from the hospital yesterday. Not sure why he was admitted to the hospital in the first place . https://youtu.be/YbJgZWVXK20



Anyways tougher week ahead for him as it is psalm Sunday beginning the Holy week and ending the forty plus days of lent 2023. He'll be doing a lot of mass in the coming days ....


The past week has not been easy on the Christian community world wide especially in the USA . Three young Christian kids were assassinated in a Nashville school shooting by a trans terrorist. 


And former President of United States Mr Donald Trump indicted in the stormy Daniels case " Hush Money" while the media was preparing for his 6th Jan incitement trail arrest. What a shame . 


And back home ...the kaam wali Bai ....stole raw custard apples from the tree and tried to get my attention ....failing she even involved the neighbors armed guard . 



I don't like custard apple that much to care . But I just mentioned it because behavioral psychology still interests me more than clinical psychology.  


That's it from the news about christ. 


The peshawer high court has the first woman Chief justice ♎ Justice Musarrat Hilali on Saturday took oath as the first female chief justice of the Peshawar High Court (PHC). The ceremony was also attended by the high court judges, office-bearers of the bar councils, lawyers, and ministers of the caretaker government.


Two days earlier ....

Bench of Supreme court of Pakistan broke ...






Azhar mashwani returns home safely and Hassan Niazi got bail . 


But over a dozen people died in a dying factory . 

I am sure this govt would be rethinking about abolishing all Zakat exemptions and introducing a twice a year Zakat deduction 1st Ramzan and 1st Muharrum  seems more logical unless there is something better than logic ...


Talking of the IMF preferred govt , the price of petrol are to remain same this fortnight till 15th of April ...how amazing . Gracious!!  


King Charles and his bowles landed in Germany after France and Israel revoked the invitation and started rioting, burning and frolic . 

Calm returned . 

There must be a historical reason behind this much unrest for a king's first ever visit , then just the Brexit....

Back to monarchy...back to one God ....


3:05 am Just an hour left to relax before the time to start prepping the Sehri. Not very hungry as I had chicken pulao and Halwa at iftari from the grandfather's anniversary fateha . 














And some leftover biryani from the day earlier just a little while ago. 


So if there is time ...why not I do the Wordle....


Wordle 652 3/6

The word is ....Stock 


When you are relaxed ....anything is 


I could have definitely not done it so easily in first half hour after midnight. 


Ipl or to be precise..,

The Tataipl2023 began with an opening ceremony where Arijit Singh , rashmika mandanna , tamanna Bhatia and others performed . 


TATA IPL 2023 Opening Ceremony: Rashmika Mandanna sets the stage on fire with an energetic performance https://www.iplt20.com/video/46428/tata-ipl-2023-opening-ceremony-rashmika-mandanna-sets-the-stage-on-fire-with-an-energetic-performance?tagNames=2023



Don't know why I feel like I learned a new meaning for the word Camera shy ...



3:49 am Okay this is the time I usually begin to fall asleep and lose appetite every single night .


So I better get up and do the Sehri or watch tv / YouTube. 


3:51 am Break ! 


6:12 am Did Sehri and did niat for fast but before that I fried an omelette of two eggs and shami kababs .did not make the tea today ...there was some leftover besides there was not enough time left to wait for the tea pot to be ready and boiling . 


After Sehri I watched the Sen Cal kapimi episode that I missed last night . 

Then I prayed 🛐 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!



 Now I can't decide to sleep or not ...I am falling by every passing minute.

1:01 pm Fasting Sehri to Sunset 6:49 pm 

Day 40 

Tried to get up many time but failed ....the neighborhood was so silent and calm that I had no other option but to continue sleeping 

Woke just before noon 

Checked water pump

Watered Rose 🌹 plants



So it's not even good Friday yet and I am getting phishing msgs on mobile....yeh Telenor Pakistan bhi na ...


Talking of Telenor Pakistan

It mobile app my Telenor introduced a mini app recently where you can invest in gold .....yes you heard it right ....buy and sell gold without ever having to touch the gold or visit the ARY interesting isn't it and you can start from as low as hundred rupee....pkr. 

Or 29.3 ₹ 


But I am not sure how many Telenor Pakistan customers would know or use this mini app. All I know is that jazz cash won the Foodpanda cash back and mode of payment. So in order to continue enjoying the benefits of the № 1 online shopping and delivery system I will need to get a jazz sim and jazz cash account....which I have been avoiding so far because I did not want to have too many mobile sims activated . 


Anyways , as they say a change would do you good ...



A great news ....after the interesting court room drama .... Gwyneth Paltrow won the ski case and a 1$ she claimed . Awesome 👍


I was absolutely biased in this case I like her very much ever since her movie the great expectations the adaption of Charles Dickens novel.  






Okay I have to take a break here and check the water pumps ...


And also pray 🛐 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!



1:51 pm Break ! 


3:45 pm Okay the cooking mafia was ordering something for my iftari from the British Frenchise food joint nearby ...luckily she asked as she was confused by the number of extra flavors and toppings...options ....

I completely rejected the idea as we have too much leftovers 


So now all I need to do is get up 10-20 minutes before iftari time and heat or fry . 


Wifi net is off ...so I will have to shift to data or hotspot . 


The first ten of Ramzan is what most of the Karachi Muslims shopkeeper call Ramzan they finish their 7 or ten days taravee and then open shops till midnight or 2am as allowed by the unelected local government. MQM  tried and fought for the power  to decide the opening and closing times of the shops and collect bhatta for four decades nothing changed . 


Now that all factions and splits are back together except the founding pappi ...the law & order situation has become worse . Which is definitely not good for all the jhappi brothers under one flag and banner. Despite all the leaked CCTV footage showing the jungle culture of the streets of Karachi on media and social media....people especially the traders and businesses are undecided. They cannot understand which is the best option for them . Karachi is not the same Karachi of the nineties ....here in 2023 ....even hail and thunderstorm ⛈️ does not happen all over Karachi at the same time some have it before the rest and other much later and some of the most central just left keep dreaming . 


New land developments means new markets and new settlers. New markets means changed habitats ...new malls , mega stores , boutique and branded shops ...high end ..

With personalized multinational security system and ethnic armed  malitias .


It's been months since PTI was ousted and even months since local bodies elections but both jamait e islami and ppp have not been able to get a mayor . 


Koi toh hai Jo nizam ay hasti challa Raha hai ...



4:45 pm okay you won't believe this ...just now I answered the door bell ...I knew it would be the wifi net guy ...I paid the bill and asked him if the wifi net is shutdown....he said power issues ...and on my way back I checked the router ...again ....the lights were blinking normal...came to bed and turned on the wifi of the mobile and ....

Yes it's back ...feels like recharging ...


Cable tv also has some issues ...the other day some other cable guys put up the ladder on the pole and probably twisted two different cables now most of the channels are overlapping...and distorted . Maybe a little retuning might help but I am too busy ....and careless. Most of the channels I watch are okay ...for the rest I don't care . 


The technical people especially the cable and phone companies employees can be hired by the builder mafia...I told you what the ptcl did last week they put up two extra poles in addition to the two poles already at our back front . So now we qualify for the Guinness world records of number of telephone poles in front of a house . And the funny thing is that while laying down the super expensive cable they did not take care of chosing the side . So now cable and two poles on this side and two poles apart . Super genius foreign qualified engineers ....If I complained  ...they would be fired from ptcl and get a job overseas thanks to builder mafia and will live happily ever after ...and I would become the  grouch grumpy old man in the otherwise friendly technology sector.......

The water pipe they broke was repaired, had to bear all inside and outside plumbing expenses ourself . But they also seems to have damaged the sewerage line . Not sure how that would be repaired . 


Anyways , life is super cool .

And for the first time in my life I am watching the Rain helping pretty zinta's Punjab kings win the opening match of Tata ipl 2023 and other matches . Sooner or later the south super cinema queens will realize that natu natu is neither romantic nor aesthetic. It could only help the Bhojpuri or Canadians .

Okay it's time for Asr prayers 🛐 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!

And later for iftari and Maghrib prayer 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai

Okay so the iftari turned out to be without Pakora.....and less oily ...almost healthy ...






































Funny thing is that I totally don't remember if I watched a movie this week or not ...because most the nights I watched the Turkish series on Netflix Who were we running from...a mother trying to protect her illegitimate child from her own parents and the world . She named her Bambi after the famous character of the fawn the young deer who was chosen to become the prince of the forest .
