So we are back in the Winter ... unfortunately here in Karachi we usually miss the winters or feel it when it's over in the February or late January....people like me who rarely go out in the chilly morning and even order their halwa puri delivered from tooso restaurant through Foodpanda...around midday ...have every right to be so gloomy about not having a winter .

I love the hot and spicy Pakistani food  which makes you feel warm and elevated ...without winter cold ...it's no fun at all . 


Most of the year especially during the hot and humid summers I get very sweaty while trying to enjoy my favorite dishes ....I very anxiously anticipate the mercury drop so I can feel warm and dry while eating the Hot and spicy meaty treats ....like nalli Nihari and buffalo trotters ( beef paye) 

Beef kabab paratha rolls and other beef and chicken Barbecue and the mutton pulao and qorma ..nargisi koftas and katakat 

It's so difficult to sleep with ease after attending a winter  party and eating the heart full here in Karachi . But the worst is that you bring or cook the seafood in winter and mother nature simply forgets that it was supposed to be cold and chilly winter night .

Yes ironic indeed ! 


This time  I am trying to be less foolish ...and not fall for the misconception of being in winter and start eating like there is no tomorrow. We are beginning with smaller portions single meals ....and skipping meals . 

The fun fact about Karachi winter is that it is very hot during the sunny day time ...so I always say to compare the people working outside in the direct sun with the stay at home ..." Tum Garmi sey mer gaay ...hum sardi sey...." ( You will die of heat and we die of freezing ...)

Especially if you live in a closed and no sunlight kind of surrounded by trees or higher buildings . 


Okay I feel very sleepy so I take a tea ☕ break ...or probably fall asleep watching reels on Facebook 


1:13 am Break ! 


4:35 am Indeed i feel asleep but actually i did not lie down for a moment .....

i watched two movies .....no no...it is not possible to watch two movies full without falling asleep ....when i am already half asleep ...

Stree 2 Mufti ops Sorry ....whatever....

and Matilda 

and a few vloggs 

The Famous Mumbai Televangelist Dr Zakir Naik is doing his show in the Governor House Karachi hosted by MQM ....I tried to watch his first show live and now i am watching the question answers in shorts and reels .....



yashma gill asks Dr Zakir Naik


Yashma gill item song Gali Gali ..movie Wrong no





Anyways ....

Astronomical Twilight Karachi : 5:10 am 

Sunrise : 6:26 am 

So its time for the Fajr Prayer .....yes i made it ....

with a prayer for my dearly departed parents papa and Ammi and the Recently Departed Aslam Bhai

12:59 pm Woke up at noon
Immediately ordered to check the water pump
So I checked the water ...
Got tea ☕
Foodpanda refused the breakfast order so we have bitter gourd for brunch ...I don't see the logic .
The right knee is getting better no drugs


4:01 pm A very busy and noisy Sunday afternoon 





Besides the builder mafia some other neighbors also woke up and started redecorating...their ground floor flat ( apartment) 
In the morning (noon) when I woke up it felt like I am at the shipyard ....the sounds of hammer and machines coming from all sides ...
Now it's the only one machine left others left the union . 



After being free from the water pump duty I had the Sunday Brunch and then I had a bath and prayed 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!

The Karachi Traffic Police has announced a detailed traffic plan ahead of Dr. Zakir Naik’s lecture at Bara Dari near Jinnah Bagh. The event, expected to start at 7 PM, is likely to attract a large audience, prompting the authorities to implement special parking arrangements and road closures.


Attendees are advised to park at two designated locations: YMCA Ground and DJ College Ground. From there, they will need to walk to the Polo Ground, the event’s venue


Several roads leading to the event will be closed to traffic, including Awan Sadar Road and the stretch from Fawara Chowk to Khajoor Chowk. Alternative routes have been suggested for commuters to ease congestion.

Vehicles from I.I. Chundrigar Road and Shaheen Chowk will be diverted to PIDC via Ziauddin Road and Khajoor Chowk. From PIDC, traffic will be rerouted to Club Road and can continue towards Clifton or Shahrah-e-Faisal.

Furthermore, traffic from the Shaheen Complex signal will be directed towards MR Kayani Chowk and Zainab Market, while vehicles from Fawara Chowk will head towards the Awari signal, leading to Shahrah-e-Faisal and Teen Talwar 


Both sides of Sindh Club Chowk to Metropole and Fawara Chowk have been designated as No Parking zones. The Karachi Traffic Police has advised residents and attendees to plan their routes accordingly to avoid inconvenience. 


Okay Finally we have a good news  after a very long and depressing water scarce Week . 
We have our second ATL Filer in the Taxman's dearest Most favorites..... 



FBR wins ! 
Congratulations 🎉 

Technically I  am not required to be a filer ...but my easypaisa saving account is reducing the non shariah compliant interest rates every month this month it is down 2% to 14% 
Two months ago it was 18% per annam compounded on a daily profit .

So less than 20 minutes ....
The holy month of Rabi ul Awwal ended this Friday after the moon was sighted .... Saturday was the first of Rabi us Sani ....this month is also popular and celebrated as holy because of the Giarween sharif ...

Let's check the meta Ai for information regarding giyarween sharif ...

Me : What is giyarween sharif ? 

Meta Ai : The Giyarwee Sharif (Urdu: گیارہویں شریف) of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) is celebrated on:

Significance:

1. Sufism: Spreading love, compassion, and self-purification.
2. Spiritual guidance: Authoring influential books like "Al-Fath ar-Rabbani".

Me : What is the relation of ghouse e Azan with nalli biryani ? 


Meta Ai : That's an interesting connection!

Ghouse-e-Azam, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA), has a historical and culinary association with Nalli Biryani.

*Legend:*

During Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani's lifetime, a devotee named Sheikh Bahauddin Shattari would often visit him in Baghdad. Sheikh Shattari was from the Indian subcontinent and would bring exotic spices and food, including a flavorful rice dish called "Nalli Biryani."

*Nalli Biryani's origin:*

Nalli Biryani, also known as "Ghouse Biryani," is believed to have originated in the kitchens of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani's shrine in Baghdad. The recipe was refined and popularized by Sheikh Shattari and other Indian devotees who visited the shrine.

*Hyderabad connection:*

In the 16th century, the Qadiriyya Sufi order spread to the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Hyderabad (now Telangana, India). The city's Nizams, who were patrons of the Qadiriyya order, popularized Nalli Biryani, making it a signature dish of Hyderabadi cuisine.

*Today:*

Nalli Biryani remains a beloved dish in Hyderabad and other parts of India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. It's often served at:

1. Special occasions
2. Wedding feasts
3. Urs celebrations (including Giyarwee Sharif)
4. Sufi gatherings

The connection between Ghouse-e-Azam and Nalli Biryani symbolizes the cultural exchange and spiritual bonds between the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.

Would you like to know more about:

1. Hyderabadi cuisine
2. Qadiriyya Sufi order's influence on food
3. Sufi culinary traditions
4. Recipes for Nalli Biryani

Time is up 

All the Best 

Allah Hafiz 🙏
