Another Hajj is just around the corner...that is less than a fortnight away..... probably on the 4th or 5th of June 2025 CE

And once again I am missing it...

My left side firmly believe in the invitation doctrine...while my right side firmly believe in the proverb

"Pray to God sailor,...but row for the shore..! "

And talking of the shore...my Happy Birthday depression is now turning into a happy birthday cyclone named Shakti...

8:02 am Watched ananya panday's Kesari Chapter 2

Fall asleep 

Missed fajr 🛐 

Sun rise 5:44 am

Woke up 6:40 am 

Checked water pump 

Watered plants 

Had tea with lemon 🍋 

Watching Sana khan's Wajah tum ho (2016) 

No breakfast 

1:21 pm As the movie finished ...I was sleepy 💤 again but somehow I kept myself awake and checked the Water pumps...

Made a reel of moss Rose and periwinkle plants that the nursery guy placed on the ladder...he insisted that we have not bought anything from him for two months ...he adorn the ladder and stubbornly refused to take them back ...and as usual demanded money like a child ....and got it...

A few hours later ...before the sunset I tried to make a reel and flowers were unfolded...gone to sleep....so I made the reel this morning when I got up .

Anyways ...at about after 10 am I fall asleep...

The door was open so I could smell the cooking of beef pasanda in the kitchen ...and the sound of Turkish drama Zahra....the cooking mafia was multitasking....while I was sleeping...

When I finally woke up I was offered to taste the pasanda...it was breaking tander but not chewing tander...and had too much water in the gravy...I tasted and dipped the slice of dawn bread 🍞 so it was cooked again ..and the pasanda were fried...

I had a bath in the mean time and prayed fajr 🛐 Qaza and 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 ! 

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 !

Then we had the Sunday Brunch....

Praiseth the Lord All Mighty Allah Amen 🙏 

The mango Season have started. But the market and street vendors outside our neighborhood mosque have only two sindhri and saroli 🥭 

And that too are the wrinkled ones....just like the gunny bag naan bread.......darululoom deoband ki Jai ...darululoom deoband ki ...

Cooking mafia bought raw Mango Keri from the farmers Suzuki...it has very tight skin...no wrinkled....

I am too relaxed to wonder or ponder why....just observed .

With the War going on between the super powers ...in my neighborhood...I should be very very thankful that I am seasonal fruits....even if they were in a cold storage in Canada for two years..

This week the agitators and rioters burned the house of Sindh interior minister in Not Interior Sindh village of Moro ..

They also looted and  burned trucks of fertilizer...green bags..

Unconfirmed media reports also suggested that they tried to block the convoy of the first lady Asifa Zardari...

not sure which group is involved in this recent protest. 

The infamous MQM-London’s Javed aka Langra dies in New Delhi

And here in Karachi Jinnah league's Mascot Mr Qutubuddin Aziz lesser known daughter A KGS Teacher had a sudden death she was married to Famous test cricketer and selector Mr Iqbal qassim . 

After years of watching Mr Aziz on ptv children's shows and journals...I finally met him under the university tree...on my way to the LLM exam...it was a very brief and unforgeable encounter.

After her death I was checking her last tweets on Twitter X and I learned that she shared an email from X informing her that she is short listed by indians....they wanted her account blocked by X under information technology act 2000.

Her tweet from blue tick account...

‏میرےپاکستانی بھائیو اور بہنو ❣️

آپکی بہن ثمینہ قاسم ‎@qas58 کا X Account بھارت میں ban ہوگیاہے۔X والوں کی emailموصول ہوئ ہے۔

یہ میرےلئیےافسوس نہیں بلکہ خوشی کامقام ہے۔۔۔ایک اعزاز ہے۔میرےپاکستان پر میں قربان۔۔۔پاکستان ہمیشہ زندہ باد🇵🇰💚🇵🇰

‎@CMShehbaz ‎@OfficialDGISPR ‎@TararAttaullah 

This tweet also has two screen shots of the above mentioned email from X.

I asked X's Grok 3 (Ai)

How many accounts were blocked by india?

And her reply was....

How many accounts were blocked by india

Based on the available context from the web results, India ordered X to block over 8,000 accounts during the heightened military tensions with Pakistan in 2025. This action was part of a broader crackdown on independent reporting and social media activity, as reported by Reporters Without Borders (RSF). The blocked accounts included those of foreign media outlets and individuals like journalists and social media users critical of the Indian government’s policies, amid the escalating conflict following the April 22, 2025, attack in Indian-administered Kashmir and subsequent military operations like Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos.

The specific mention of Samina Qasim’s account being banned in India, as seen in the X post, aligns with this larger wave of censorship, but the exact number of accounts blocked solely for Pakistani users or activists like Qasim isn’t detailed beyond the aggregate figure of over 8,000. For a more precise breakdown, you’d typically need access to official statements from X or the Indian government, which aren’t fully provided here. However, the RSF report indicates this was a widespread measure targeting a mix of media, journalists, and other social media users perceived as threats to the Indian narrative during the conflict.

impact on journalists

It's 3 pm ....

6:06 pm Haven't eaten much...so there was no sleep ...did some research...

And later on ordered some very essential grocery from panda 🐼 mart 

An air freshener and mosquito repellent for the coming weeks 

Doctor Saab and his family have already fallen I'll...so we stand no chance...to survive...all we can do is try ...after last year's experience of wasting time in Bakra mandi ...I am not taking this qurbani thing very seriously....this year...I don't believe in competition or show off ...so I am very relaxed...

One thing I am very sure about ...that if I said I quit...they will probably offer goats online...with free delivery...the box qurbani is very rampant....so many online apps are advertising....but we are not interested...

Next Sunday will be the real test of will....let's see if I can resist my Farmville instincts...after the changed sights and sounds of the neighborhood.....because of the war....there seems to be no market price fixed....let's see 

Asr time is slipping by...so I better get up and pray Asr 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 !

Still some 10- 25 min 

When we order takeaways...we don't eat from the paper ...usually use our own plates and dishes ...which means that we do not order takeaways to save ourself from doing dishes ....infact sometimes after we are done there are more dishes to be done ...then we eat home cooking ...like this afternoon  brunch ...there were very few dishes to be done ....most of the dishes went with the leftovers.....in the fridge...

Anyways ...I believe it's time to get up and get ready to receive the delivery. I wasn't quite ready for the meal ...but I am sure half of single serving won't hurt my appetite....I will have my Supper after midnight...after finishing this My the Sunday Blog № 477 ( Four hundred and seventy seven)

9:27 pm After the Chinese dinner we were watching the daily drama series on geo tv ....

It was just getting started....

10:48 pm During the short nuclear power shutdown...I realized that my monthly mobile package has expired...it was the cheapest...and still it was fully intact ... except for the 1 GB data I used on the 10th of the may during the day time Blackout . For some Unknown reason the same package is not available 

My vision is so blurry tonight that I cannot read the small script.... especially in Chinese...

So I will get a new bundle tomorrow morning first thing...life becomes easy if you don't have to worry at all about the disappearing balance ...
