Wasiq1's Karachi blog : Sunday Blog # 13

2:30 am
Today is the 3rd of July 2016 and 27th of Ramzan the Shab-e-Qadr mubarak to All . This is my Sunday Blog #13 and also this is the 4th and final Sunday Blog in the Holy Month of Ramzan because the Next Sunday will be in the month of Eid called Shawal . A very Happy and Blessed Eid Mubarak to All .

Most of the mosques in Karachi had Khatam-e-Quran in Taravee Tonight on the 27th night of Ramzan . But in my local mosque we heard the 28th Para (Juz) of the holy Quran tonight . Our Qari Saab was in a very bad shape . Looks like RoohAfza or Cheap Pepsi got him first . His Voice was so trembling and the cough and sneeze was so loud and clear as we have a very good speaker system. Once going in the prostration i said my prayers thinking they got us tonight. Boom ! But let me give you this breaking news and also tell you that i am the first one to break this news for you . " No they did not get us tonight. " Luckily This is the first Ramzan in my life when i have survived the Jamaiti Biological weapons. and since i have survived the Biological weapons the chemical weapons (khalis fake roll-on perfumes) introduced this week are also not working the way they should .

The Fourth week of Ramzan past very fast infact i feel like it was a half week instead of a full week and the Main reason for this super fast week was the change in the weather and Moods of the people of Karachi , the media and my ambience. we had a blast of Rapid Fire Rain again. it was very sudden and devastating as it took away the Power of most of the Karachi supplied by the Karachi Electric (KE) The Transmission line Faults and the hundreds of feeders were without Milk oh iam sorry Electric Power . But Still i will not blame the KE altogather . I think they try their best and restored the power as soon as possible.

3:30 Sehri Time

two years ago this week on the first of Ramzan i was at a cheap seventh floor hospital canteen of a very expensive private hospital of karachi and i asked for what i had today for sehri and this was what i got then I desperately tried to explain a Scrambled egg to the canteen manager and his reply was " hamarey paas bus yeahi option hai " (we only have this option available ) . All my life i wanted to be a Frequent Flyer after 45 , this was the moment that changed it all .

yes it was my Ammi 's 2nd Happy Anniversary this week . In just two years of her passing away and to the surprise of All my estimates , predictions and interpolations the most impossible (deyrina) problems that had been causing both mental and spiritual agony to both parents, and never allowed them ample time and energy to seriously concentrate on the errors of my ways , Vanished . The Two Divorce and child custody cases that brought in courts of Law and divided the family somehow lost relevance . The Cure of Cancer that took away many a important members of their family was recently discovered. The stealing of my old slippers from the mosque suddenly Stopped. and so on and so forth.... I blame this OST and especially its horrible lyrics by my favorite poet for igniting my soul .After my Ammi passed away i disconnected the cable and throw away her tv where we used to watch Colors.Tv together but heard this OST and watched some episode of this mega flop soap serial on other tv in the house . BTW Simar returned home and was thrown out again and returned again and turned into a fly . Now That would have definitely killed Ammi if not a court case against her by her own flesh and blood .

12:01 pm Amir liaqat is extremely exhausted running out of free MotorBikes why else would he go on national tv and say what he said maybe the ear piece had cross connection from news channels... ya that could be it...okay thats fine then ...anyways the tv watchers in ramzan have much bigger issues than him joining MQM or being banned by Pemra and that is if Qandeel is Baloch or Not real Baloch . This is the first time in my life when i have heard that a non Baloch or not directly Baloch can or does use a sername Baloch ...as ACP saab would say " Kuch toh Hai "

In the first two weeks of Ramzan the media was very excited about the opening of a new Super store they kept popularizing it one way or the other . In the third week we heard and saw repeated footage of another Super Store in fact one of the oldest super stores of Karachi . I remember as a child we use to take all our NRK's (non resident Karachites ) visiting from Uk and US to that super store just to hear bahut mehnga hai. Anyways the fourth week went by without a super store of karachi being mentioned in any crime related news . Thank God !

Talking of Stores in the groceries markets the prices were beginning to come back to normal this week but the rain and eid rush again created a yet another opportunity to earn more. So i suggest all those who can avoid shopping in the coming days before eid and especially on eid days must . its better to be safe than sorry .

1: 30 pm Zuhr Break
5:00 pm feel asleep and now its almost Asr prayer time

In Flash Floods in the beautiful Chitral valley a mosque was washed away with 31 people including 8 soldiers of Pak Army. It is very sad how these people live in karachi like situations here also the rain causes so much damage to both life and property. and the corrupt leaders continue to save eachother just like there was news on friday that imran khan's sisters car was hit by Maryam nawaz punjab police protocol later they changed the story and said it was faryal talpur's protocol what differene does it make . Some day the same Punjab Police will arrest them to save them from the people or maybe not . Just like the karachi police arrest two dacoits in korangi but were a little bit late after they were lynched by the angry traders of the market who caught them and burned them on the spot.

Okay There is one more very disturbing news infact there two news related one is that a gang of foreign thieves is working on ATMs and the other news is that All ATMs in the city are out of cash just before Eid holidays. Imagine. Okay Don't imagine Just pray its Asr time .

5:40 pm Asr time

6:40 pm Okay this is the most difficult time during a Fast (roza) the room is filled with the aroma of frying from the kitchen . Being the youngest in the house for very many decades i had the responsibility of being the taste tester . It is only during the ramzan that i am not called . Anyways , only two or 3 more left after that its eid . I haven't watched any movie this ramzan so i guess i will go back to watching the new releases that i missed this month a lot of catchup to do . How the cable net stays fast for the downloads . and not do like they did before the rain last week . I don't know how but the cable and net has been absolutely ok since the first drop of rain just went out for few hours during power breakdown.

The Rain , the power Breakdown and the Punjab Police under pressure for known reasons stopped the night cricket in my neighbourhood this ramzan . or probably for some reason i am not aware of. because i saw the kids with lights and ladders messing with live wires . Not only it is illegal it is also very dangerous to let your kids climb the electric poles without proper technical training and licence . KE staff is very busy to check these activities especially at night . And when somebody climbs a ladder at the electric pole people usually think its the cable guy because cable also runs on the same electric pole . the previous owners of KE (KESC) allowed cable companies and operators to use electric poles for some extra income. I am not sure but i suspect that the citywide breakdown may have something to do with night cricket connections . or should i call them the Taped Connections . Not only the night cricket but also during the ramzan we have Night makeshift markets and they also use the The Taped Connections causing voltage fluctuations for the regular customers . But when the rain fell it fell on KE who was already being woed by many who got inflated bills this month . JUSTICE !

okay its Iftar time .

8:05 pm this was my iftar today now i am having tea. It is so unbelievable that i had chicken soup almost everyday in iftar and dinner and sometimes even in the sehri in this hot temperature . It proved to be the best defence against the biological weapons that usually ruins my ramzan or has been ruining my ramzans year after year. no medicines or flu shots ever worked for me . so call me crazy if you like but here i am feeling beyond the winning line although there are two nights to go .
