Ramzan Mubarak 🕌
Yes the Holy month of Zakat is finally here ...I visited the local mosque for Maghrib Prayer and witnessed effortless sighting of the moon from the front row window west open . A little further up in the same frame was a very bright shinning star 🌟 or the planet .
Returned home with a brief stop over at the local food street...buying the especial Ramzan treat ...the pheni ...a kind of vermicelli that is soaked in hot milk with sugar and eaten in sehri .
Unfortunately, I have lactose intolerance problem...so I have a hard time digesting milk ...it is very hard for me to eat pheni in Sehri....when I am almost asleep.
But the truth is that I like them very much ...it's just that I can't eat it in sehri ...so after eating the red apple 's hot and spicy beef bihari rolls....I need something sweet ...so I said to myself why not pheni ...
And that is how we herald the beginning of the holy month ...
I fall asleep....and woke up just before 1 am and because of the water crisis ...there was only one thing on my mind to get up and check the water pump..... Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
The water is finally coming.....
So first I prayed the Isha 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 !
And then I watched trump and Vance humiliating zelenski for the 350 billion dollars war aid ...in the oval office ....it is very clear that everybody who is anybody ever photo shot with the former president Biden ...is doomed ...
Watch yourself....
By the there are some really mind-blowing ai infested memes on social media tonight ...be care full.
Okay I have to get up again and check the water pumps.....
2:15 am Break 🚰
2:48 am Alhamdulillah ...by the grace of All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏
We survived.....the third or fourth....Water break of this year 2025 CE
The funny thing is that most wasteful neighbors...who destroyed the roads by washing cars and pavements with clean water ...and have better collecting and storage facilities were also beginning to feel the water scarcity this week ...
I walked to the Mosque and market yesterday through a very dry river bed unlike the normal .
3:27 am The Gas ( Not Petrol) is coming at this hour especially for Sehri in Ramzan ...the pressure is very low ...but I can fry my scrambled eggs...or kebabs ...
The sehri and iftari timings for today are ...
Sehri end or Astronomical twilight Karachi 5:37 am
Iftari or sunset Karachi 6:34 pm
So I believe 4:30 am should be the okay to get up and do the sehri meal .
This week that ended was very bad for my rose 🌹 plants ...it was cloudy and dirty...no chlorophyll at all...lost three young saplings ...very very discouraging...
Okay then the kitchen activity has started ...and I better makeup my mind real quick as to what I am gonna eat for Sehri ...but first I need to check my blood sugar ...
So I guess it's time for the sehri break ..
3:54 am Break 🍳
5:06 am Okay I am done ....
Had some leftover gobi gosht with boiled egg and naan ....a gulab jamun and lots of tea ...
Last 20 minutes left ....
I believe I did sehri a little bit too early ....from tomorrow I will start at 4:30 am ...one hour is enough ...for preparing....and eating ....the blood sugar was 132 before sehri ...not taking the metformin ...have to survive 13 hours ...in this hot and dry weather...
Anyways ....let's get up ...have the final sip of water and brush ..
Last 10 minutes....
Brush done
Last sip of water done
Now wazu time for 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 !

4:50 pm Called Doctor Saab because of something he wrote on his Facebook ...he is very upset with the university road destruction...I tried to tell him alternate routes but he rejected them ...he considers five minutes of boat ride like ride on the broken road better then half hour long route...
He travels like a doctor and complain like a patient....
I on the other hand ....
Skulk like a loser and
relax like a winner...

Very interesting batting score card of India vs new Zealand...
a 79 , 45, 42, 23....top order failed...v.kohli only 11...and total 249....
So I am sure ... everybody must be wondering about my first iftari ...
Falling asleep....
9:43 pm India win ...

Who cares.....
11:42 pm The Turkish drama Asla vazgeçmem dubbed in Urdu was being uploaded on a YouTube channel.....the original has 59 bolum...and the YouTube channel has so far uploaded 148 episodes...which is 53 bolum ...so about 165 will be the last episode....17 more to go ...when I started watching it a month ago ... It seems impossible...but look now I am almost at the end ...and I can understand the ending without the dubbing ...even though I will miss the cut throat dialogues....
Okay it's almost the end of this my the Sunday Blog № 465 ( four hundred and sixty five)
Usually I continue the blog till sehri but today I need to relax and probably sleep.
So All the Best 🌹
Allah Hafiz 🙏
