Today Is the 22nd of May 2016 and you know the day . It is the Last day of the year for dead souls i.e The 14th of Shaban .The Night after this day is called the Shab-e- Baraat Bara'at is an Arabic noun which is roughly translated to English as either innocence, records, assignment, deliverance or salvation. . It is believed that on this night a list is compiled of all those who would die in the coming year so people especially the sinners pray for forgiveness . So when the good ones are praying the bad asses play with the fire crackers or whatever. People who have lost a near one in the previous year celebrate this day a day early its called Arfa . They usually rest on the 14th assuming that their near and dear ones are resting in Peace. Most people prepare special Sweet dishes and Halwa for Fateha . Pray at night and fast on the 15th of Shaban. In the past few years the people of Karachi has accepted Death as a reality . The use of Firecrackers has decreased on Shab-e- Baraat. The feasting on Sweet dishes and halwa has also decreased because of Diabetes awareness . Due to the severe hot weather and heat wave i am not sure how many people will fast this year but i am sure that the number will be low this year. The Rural migrants and yuppy population of karachi needs no excuse to celebrate .
As expected it was a very interesting week . The Government of Pakistan play very well . The Army chief was sent to China while the Prime Minister and his league rally in the lower house of Parliament . PM's naive assertiveness brought smiles on the faces of the opposition . and somehow both the Judiciary and the Parliament of Pakistan survived. Expunged the checkmate. ( wiping the tears of joy ) .
The Karachi Electric had a very rough week. Stopped tweeting the maintenance shutdown notice after load shedding in more than 60 % of its area of responsibility and a semi- major breakdown in most parts of karachi and the red zone .
The Other very important organ of Karachi administration The KMC and DMC the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and District Municipal Corporations (DMCs) continued their protest against the FBR (Tax deptt ) who freeze the Account .
One of the most interesting thing was that the Sindh education deptt abruptly announced Summer Vacations early. Some students found out about holiday at school some are still waiting on the weekend.
2:14 am : Full Moon .
This week i found out about my Ex love celebrating 8th may day with a perfumed newspaper for All of its subscribers. Unbelievable isn't it . I rushed to the nearest newsstand of the new and old but it stinks just the same. checked all the tandoori in the neighborhood but here they don't use the urdu newspapers and you probably know why. So as they usually say Better Luck when there is hardly any chance.
10:10 am getting up to get Tea. BRB
Ever since the Osama bin Laden was found and declared dead the hideous activities of "hum ja rahey hain humara koi pata nahein hai " has suffered greatly. But this past year has been specially bad for them. The Axact got busted and sabeen got killed by her own shitty fan . and Now this week PEMRA clearly bans the re-enactments Shows and other immoral subject matters during the holy month of Ramadan . So there will be more time for Zakat donations commerecials instead of Waqar Zaka and his trick or treat ads all day .
Talking of Ramadan commercials especially the Ramadan Bachat ads should also be banned they distract a lot during fasting .The famous brand of soft drink Pepsi that usually takes the cake has already failed . The new Plastic bottle is too embarrassing for the global giant . Sold for Rs 35/- in karachi .I have stopped arguing with the stores here because after Ramadan they will probably increase the price to Rs 40 /- anyway .If only they had designed a 250 ml plastic bottle and sold it for Rs 20/-
Fateha Break :
May The Lord Almighty Allah forgive and forget what i did last year .And May my Papa and Ammi live happily ever after in Jannah . Amen
So we were talking about Ramadan and Zaka , i mean Zakat the property business is in boom already and during the holy month of zakat it becomes a rapid fire . this time i am sure both buildings of Bahria town in karachi will be bought with zakat money unless MQM does something to stop that. So this match will be very interesting during Ramadan.
The movies i watched this week were all interesting good to watch. Recommended .
I should end this Sunday Blog here. Next week i should be more relaxed as the years old property case against my dearly departed Ammi in heaven will probably move along ex parte and the army of builders estate agents will hopefully harass to coerce the other party . I have heard they even kidnap the stubborn ones ♥♠♥
Before i end this Sunday blog i have a question for the intelligentia . If Pakistani leaders are so corrupt Why we have not become Nigeria ?
