Today
is the 31st of July 2016 the 26th of Shawwal 1437 till sunset.This Week that
is the week that has passed I did not have any net or cable trouble. So
i believe that it was related to the on-going cricket series in
England. Thus i am expecting the shutdown early next month. Anyways
Today I begin my SundayBlog # 17 With this one of my very favourite
verse of Poetry .
While i was doing the previous Sunday blog That is the The Sunday Blog #
16 last Sunday The Government of Sindh I mean the Chief Minister and
His Cabinet was called to Dubai with some of the other PPP party seniors
from all over the world to a meeting where many important decisions
were to be taken. Unfortunately it was headed by a very inexperienced
leader. Yes you are right i am taking about Mr Bilawal. together with
his father and other family members and friends the Young Mr Zardari
made one the worst political mistakes of his life long political
career. Instead of trying to become the Bhutto of Pakistan he became
the Zia of PPP. By Firing an elected Chief Minister and the most senior
member of his grand fathers Time Just because there were heaps of
garbage everywhere in Karachi and the Media and especially Social Media
was putting the blame on the CM and comparing his bad governance with
the CM's of other provinces especially the Punjab and KPK. I personally
believe that it would have been much better if the leadership had
strengthened him with their full support and concentrated on the
problems instead of the people. But Lack of experience and understanding
of the politics made him do it. This is not it the matter of Rangers
powers is also a very serious issue prolonging and unnecessary delaying
gives an impression that zardari's are against the Army. And believe you
me no Pakistani , Sindhi or Urdu speaking would support a zardari or
even Bhutto Against the Army when they are winning the Zarb-e-Azb .
Clear decisions and firm decisions are the need of the hour. It is a War
and the nation is looking for a hero not some corrupt leaders trying to
sneak-in their wards for free or half the ticket.
Okay coming back to Pakistan via Islamabad. Two very famous and popular
tv anchors and journalists have started using head covering . While some
morning shows are still using the glass tables or tea tables especially
the ones from islamabad. Anyways who cares because i rarely watch the
morning shows these days and that too for the news tickers about rain in
karachi. Btw does anybody know that Ary Family Channel is still doing
EIDi show with Fiza ali who is already two or maybe more feets higher
than juggan kazim . its been four hours since their last show and
facebook official page have not yet updated the Shrug . I usually watch
that show while trying to relax before the Sunday Blog. So coming back
to the female tv anchors turning . I hate journalists regardless its in
my blood so i cannot love or respect them ever But I have an extreme
Admiration for these two very shrewd
and the one before them . Infact when she turned i thought it was a
temporary phase of seduction or rejection But to my greatest surprise
she even survived the sinking of BOL ship. The first two are the crowd pullers no doubt but there third one is the luckiest of the crowd and the deadliest too .
I was at the mosque for taravee prayer and had no idea what had
happened or was suppose to have happened. Anyways So who would be the
next to turn ? Paras , Maria , or G for Gharida . only time will tell .
Our
very dear Khan saab PTi also does that conversion thing with the
british females . And the rumour is that he is on the lookout for his
3rd or 4th example these days . I am sure that few cricket fans know
that Khan saab pti use to advocate for a Neutral Umpire . and now he is
advocating for a neutral election commission .
How can two parties decide about the umpires? #IKonDunya
--Well Actually i am surprised that Why United Nation or the Common
Wealth never thought of it . It was their duty to have an unbiased and
neutral international election commission and not just election
monitoring bodies or NGOs who have no power or authority to enforce free
and fair elections in Pakistan and around the World . Probably because
the French like to do the things very differently . And Russia cannot
agree with china or the west . whatever.
Btw , In the islamic
republic of Pakistan we are just one step behind from a true islamic
democracy . We Have Leaders here who lead the Parties , tribes , clans ,
faiths and communities. But we donot have a leader to lead these
leaders . And we are also not sure How that leader should be chosen.

Good Morning ! Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Play)
So with the novelization of the play script the kids will have a new Harry potter series book okay. Talking
of Cursed Child , Karachi i believe always have and always will , not
the best place in the world to raise kids especially the girls . That is
the only reason i always support the press- gangs of the foreign
missions . And Now this Cpec (man) project will open the whole of
Pakistan to the international espionage . So whatever privacy and
freedoms we had will be compromised very soon . During the hearing of the case pertaining to Karachi’s law and order
under a suo moto notice, he announced to stay out of the larger bench
after extensive criticism on him and his family on the social media. “It
is not appropriate to stay on the bench further as my family and I have
been a target of criticism on social media,” said Justice Jamali in his
remarks.
Now this very sad because this case was
going very smooth and answering many difficult questions regarding the
law & Order or the lack of here in Karachi. Obviously Karachi is
moving very fast towards an emergency rule from islamabad or chaklala or
whoever her majesty's gov hand picks with the advise of the global
police of the new world order.
I know i am
very frugal but when you have no water at all for wazoo for Zuhar Namaz
and the country is drowning in water you feel there is something wrong.
This is not just it they have also announced the price increase of
petrol this week when its going down in the world markets . the white
gram is Rs 220 per kg . Anyways , i somehow managed right now but this
must be the record smallest quantity of water used ever for a zuhr
prayer. Now for Asr , maghrib and Isha, i have two options use the
bottled water , or go to the mosque . Now lets see what does the devil
wants ...Hmmm . have you heard "اگر کوئی آپ سے شدت سے نفرت کرے تو شیطان
آپ کو اس سے ملانے کی سازش میں لگ جاتی ہے" If someone hates you
intensely The devil starts planning to make you meet . (copy right
waived )
Doesn't this feel like Bhai log at the Qandeel Baloch Chehlum #LSA2016
Anyways
, The Expo centre karachi has been used for all sorts of programs and
events . and believe it or not but i have not attended a single event
yet ...
Few years ago I used to get up on sunday
morning and take a bus ( coach ) ride to the sea view . After the
privatization of Public Beach they discontinued the coach and mini
buses on the seaview road . Clearly making it off limits for the
masses. So Unless you are going there to spend Thousands at the horrible
unhygienic eateries or the Hyper Store and mall you are not welcome
even the nearby residents are sometimes not allowed to swim or walk on
the beach . Desperate people have to go outside karachi to the beaches
in Baluchistan causing severe traffic congestion near maripur .
Awam
ka badi tadad main Hawks bay per anay walon kay rush ki wja say Grass
Bazar Mari Pur road per traffic ahista chl rahi hay flow hay.

--So What I am trying to say here is that the Centuries old cliche' of
the people popularly known as "Karachi Waley " a tease for the Lahore
Lahore Hai types , KARACHI MEIN SAMANDAR HAI " is no longer true . Now
Karachi is a super giant perhaps the biggest in the World "Police
Academy" for Rangers only . No idea when i will get my standered issue
M9 . Just Kidding .
--Breaking
News: Media socialmedia and opposition in karachi comes alive on the
news that the then CM of Sindh Murad Ali Shah Saab has been called to
dubai and has already left .
This
short serial on PTV my all time favourite with mostly Sindhi characters
tells a lot about the present day rural sindh and why it can be ruled
from Dubai.
Okay a short power Shut down and moments
later a chaappa by my very dear sister and her family . Goodh Goodh . So
this guarantees good food . but all i need at the moment is water.
Neighbours are also motivated . Kids are planning to go to some
restaurant looking at me .As usual i was very quick to respond in
negative as i have to finish this Sunday Blog as soon as possible before
something goes wrong .
27th Shawwal 1437 Still Sunday after Maghrib .
--Okay
so before Chaapaa i was in namazable clean clothes now i am looking
okay but not very relaxed and sweating too . Oh ThankGod everybody left
for the restaurant so now i can relax .
Okay During
Maghrib prayer a little while ago i realised that mr Bilawal was just
getting started when he too had to leave for dubai
Okay no More lets move on ...
ISLAMABAD: On the issue of valuation of property
and related tax matters, the Federal Minister for Finance held
successful talks with the property evaluators from all over the country
at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on late Saturday evening. It
has been agreed for holding valuation in major cities, while valuation
tables will be notified by FBR instead of valuation by State Bank of
Pakistan’s approved valuers. However, till such time and for those areas
for which no valuation tables are notified, DC rate will be applied. Holding
period for capital gain tax (CGT) has been reduced from 5 to 3 years
under which no CGT will be charged on property held for more than 3
years. According to the tax rates for properties acquired on or
after July 1, 2016, CGT will be charged at 10 percent if holding period
is up to 1 year. If holding period is between 1 and 2 years, CGT will be
7.5 percent. If holding period is between 2 and 3 years, the FBR will
collect CGT at the rate of 5 percent, while tax exemption will be given
if holding period is more than 3 years. And for properties
acquired before July 1, 2016, the CGT will be charged at five percent,
if holding period is less than three years. If holding period is more
than 3 years, tax exemption will be given. Valuation will apply on
(i) CGT (ii) withholding taxes (iii) for the purposes of sec 111. Basic
threshold of Rs 3 million for application of withholding tax on
purchase of immovable property enhanced to Rs 4 million Appropriate legislation will be done to give effect to the proposed changes as agreed with all stakeholders.
Okay All I can see here is the three letters F B R , no further comment at this moment .
So there are two parts of me when i am on computer . One is socialmedia
savvy click on I agree and never look back And the other one is a law
student who knows that those who love me will die trying to make me rich
just like my dearly departed Parents .
May the dear
merciful Lord Almighty Allah have mercy on my Both Parents Ammi &
Papa and since its been Eight long years since Papa Died and two longer
years since Ammi passed away ...So . Amen !
Okay so now the Movies i watched this week was also trying to watch but the file corrupted so i could not complete . Anyways they were all good movies and i really enjoyed watching them .
No call from the restaurant yet . Its a sign that people know .
Okay the knock on the door . they have returned with the doggy bag . BRB

best wishes for all athletes in Rio and gentlemen in Birmingham. Have a
Nice week.
