Sunday Blog # 16

Today is the 24th of July 2016 the 19th of shawwal 1437 till sunset and this is my Sunday Blog # 16 . Started in April i had no idea i could go this far and perpetual as well. i.e without a break or gap . The four Sunday blogs that i did in ramzan recently were really fun . Everytime i look back at them i say WOW ! did i do this ? and that too between taravee and breakfast (iftar) . absolutely Amazing . Blogging is very different from writing a book or a diary or even an essay that we sometimes so much enjoy writing in schools if we really have a crush on the teacher. With blogging you never know when and who would be reading all you know is that somebody out there somewhere hit your blog . That someone could be Chinese or Russian not familiar with English at all. That is why i use more and more multimedia which is impossible to use in a book or essay . I remember when i use to write diary with a pencil I often cut & paste newspaper cuttings which includes pictures and charts. As they say a picture is a thousand words. It made my life much easier as everytime i had to check something in my diary those pictures would guide me like ginger bread pieces of Hansel & Gretel.  Still the only things required in those days were a paper, a pencil or pen and a knife and old newspapers & magazines plus some glue or adhesive and that's it .  Now for Blogging you have to have a desktop or laptop computer which is connected to the internet . The kind of blogging i do is not easy and sometime absolutely impossible on a mobile smart phone or a tablet . Trust me its not . First of all you wont find the right android applications from the google play store . and even if you are lucky enough or believes you were born lucky those applications will have this or that glitch or drawback and it will start upgrading just the very moment that you need it the most. Most of the time deleting everything you did in the past couple of hours . Aaaargh !
For Some odd reason my cable broadband internet is shut down after juma prayers on friday afternoon and restored on Saturday noon i have no idea what my offshore cable and internet provider is going through these days as there is a lot of competition in the market .  But you wont believe this this friday when my cable broadband internet and Tv was shutdown i noticed a new unprotected Wi-Fi . I was so surprised and also very worried as who could be this Non jew in our very very strictly WPA-psk neighbourhood security . Okay this reminds me of the times when our Saein in Dubai decided to give his shalwar to his only Son His excellency the honourable chairman of PPP mr Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Fariyal Sanam Marvi  . When he entered the arena again this time there was nothing at all he could promise to the youth of karachi to match a multi-billion $ projects of metro bus and train in rawalpindi and lahore . So very boldly he Announced that every dog house in Karachi oops i mean every lamppost in karachi. the karachi that is karachi to the dubai - london crowd excluding the Burns Road and lyari area , Will have unbelievable Super fast FREE Wi- Fi soon.

MoU signed: Karachi to start getting free WiFi, CCTV, solar-powered street lights by end of 2015

 

Well Free Wi-Fi may be good for people on the go who wants to check in or check out where they are and what their family and friends are upto . But for Downloading and uploading on a regular basis and other net activities we might still need a proper paid connection . and besides a company who invests a huge sum of money on the fibre optic cable will not just hand it out to us for free. In my neighbourhood roads and streets have been cut and dug many times recently for lying down the anaconda type fibre optic cable by some net provider .
In the it and communication sector the big news is that the two mobile companies had a merger . Mobilink and warid their new name is not yet released so i presume its the end of 032x Warid RIP ! Still despite the merger announcement both companies are separately or should i say desperately advertising .  So Now we have only four networks in Pakistan telecom
Mobilink , Telenor , Zong , Ufone . If either of them merged again which i believe they should would mean less advertising especially during the hindi soaps and cricket matches .Anyways no matter how many mobile companies left or operate or get license to join the players already in the game or how many mobiles there are my dear family will never use it to inform me of there coming for years i have been requesting and protesting very humbly  to at least give me a five minutes notice before starting to bang the door to no avail . Most prefer to stay away and create a gap between their visits so whenever they choose to revisit without informing i have very little objection a sight for the soar eyes kind of . That is why everytime somebody from that category of people tell me about their mobile phones snatched ...I retort mostly in my mind " Achcha Hoya ! " (you deserved it )And whatever reason or argument they have for such a childish prank frankly i don't give a damn anymore.

Okay now we come down to the sindh Govt in troubles . Everybody knows that my home state or provinces as it is in the constitution of 73 Introductory Art 1 cl 2( a )

[(2) The territories of Pakistan shall comprise—(a)     the Provinces of  2[Balochistan] 2, the  3[Khyber Pakthunkhwa] 3, the Punjab and  4[Sindh] 4 ;


 2   Substituted by Constitution (Eighteenth Amendment) Act, 2010, Section 3 (with effect from April 19, 2010) for "Baluchistan".
3   Substituted by Constitution (Eighteenth Amendment) Act, 2010, Section 3 (with effect from April 19, 2010) for "North-West Frontier".

4   Substituted by Constitution (Eighteenth Amendment) Act, 2010, Section 3 (with effect from April 19, 2010) for "Sind".

So we also have a Government of Sindh . With its main officers and offices in Karachi . Now the problem is that during the Martial law of Late Gen Zia ul Haq who was also a SandHurst ( my headmistress left me for school by that name in the happening defence area which was before  reclaimed DHA , so i am very cynical about it )   Royal Academy scholar in the late 70's and 80's in the absence of constitution and  military operations  The Province of Sindh was politically divided practically between those who love Bhutto and those who don't . Karachi and to some extent Hyderabad abstained . So the Zia Regime used The urdu speaking urban card in Sindh. So Now since then the great province of Sindh is politically divided into three . Zardari as we all know is an accidental leader well actually not a leader he can be called a good negotiator and that's what he has been doing for the past seven years . The Majority of the people of Sindh Rural and Sindh Urban  do not like Zardari  But since we are divided by the Best Army in the World we cannot do a thing about it . What Saein Zardari is doing from Dubai is to deepen the gulf  between Urdu speaking urban and the rural sindhis by showing them that he is fighting for their rights with the Army and sacrificing urdu speaking to increase his vote bank in the rural . Now lets see how The Army plays even though it is so well placed at the moment that both sides against Saein Zardari and a larger chunk of Bhutto lovers wants Army to play a major role in the province . The Next general elections will obviously take away Dubai from Saein Zardari . This is Pakistan we have "NO" similarity with the neighbouring Turkies ...i mean Turkey .    




All Ramzan people of Karachi in particular and People of Pakistan in general wanted to hear just this ....This is what they call the best thing since sliced bread . Well done .There is no greater reward than the Thankful watery eyes of the grateful parents especially the Mother . and a proud Nation behind the action.  God Bless the Army and its sponsors .

Good Morning / Good Afternoon

Good Evening !
Okay i got a deal. Chaudry Saab Zindabad !

In the AJ & Kashmir elections this week voting was also held in some areas of Karachi for two refugee seats . PPP won those seats while PMLN won 33 out of 41 seats . It seems that the Kashmiris here are not connected with the mainstream politics of AJ & K . so their vote does not reflect the mood . or maybe they try to detach themselves from the past and integrate here . Anyways . It is certain and  Parliamentry History confirms that if the ruling party in islamabad wins AJ & K elections with majority it loses the govenment in Islamabad . Tic Toc .

 Hahaha. Difference between test and
The Twitterville Sarcasm continues
