Hello Dear Friends!
Hope and pray that all of you are solving the puzzles of your beautiful lives So Well !
Puzzles are best exercise for our brain as according to scientists while solving them our brain produce new neurons.
Problems that we face until our last breathe are puzzles and effort to solve them is wonderful resource to get an active and healthy brain.
Having everything in front of your table is Blessing but only then when you worked hard to get it there .
I find it very uninteresting that since beginning one would born in a house where he finds all that is required for better life and fells that there is no need to struggle for something in life .Life is Struggle for progress which give meaning and purpose to our breathing process.
When i finished my school 28 years ago there were many rich and established families who asked my parents for my marriage to their sons and it was blessing that each time my parents asked for my reply .But i said yes for man [Hubby] who was that time just a clerk in small office yet respected and admired for his many gentleman qualities.
After six months of marriage he was interviewed and selected as shorthand instructor in govt commercial collage.We both knew each other by the time and fall in love in coming few years .Life became more like flight over the clouds and along with our love developed our understanding and respect for each other.
We both took decision to buy new plot to make new house as our kids were not allowed to wander in streets[we then did not have playground near by ] with kids who's activities and language was not decent and felt need for bigger house where they can play.
In limited monthly income it was hard to manage but we by the grace of God overcame all the hardships and be able to build new big house for us within some years . I thoroughly enjoyed all the hard times challenges and felt grateful for this ability to face such difficulties happily .
I am one who doesn't enjoy sudden blast of pleasure [like lottery] in life .I like slow progress which bears sweat drops of my own hard work and makes me reach to a desired spot. That is why i did not accept the companionship who had already a luxurious life because i wanted to test my abilities for survival and the depth of my Faith in my Creator and in myself.
Dear friends today i am sharing with you some photos of Karachi Sunday market where i visited in my recent visit to meet my eldest son there. The original place of sunday market was under construction for some alterations so market was held another place .
Hope you will enjoy the look of this.
Market was held at a little far side of city's main area ,it was not the original place where it used to be held [due to construction work]
Colorful fabrics were hanging so ladies can be attract towards them immediately .
I tried to take photo where people were less as it was very crowded
I stared at the cute brown piggy [i think] how sad eyes he has!
I loved these adorable faces with lovely looks!
Artificial jewelry and Bengals were huge temptation for ladies
A quick blurred shot while walking fast
This photo is from other shop out of market just to give you glimpse of ladies dresses here .
blurred again but gives idea of dressing on events here by ladies
There was also a bird market where my heart felt sorry for those lovely creatures imprisoned in small cages .How selfish we human are to part them away from their natural right of living! i wish i could set them all free.My son told if will do so it would be beneficent for their owners because they will catch them again.
He would be not as disturbed and angry if it was his own natural habitat !
Another victim!!!

Thank you for sharing part your life story. It is a really wonderful one.
ReplyDeleteYou also post great pictures!
We just got about 33 centimeters of snow here in New York. I am looking forward to spring!
Gostei muito das fotografias do mercado de Karachi ao domingo. Gostei de ler o texto e de saber que soube ultrapassar as dificuldades sem desanimar. Boa sorte para a sua vida.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Beijos.
Quis dizer: que soube ultrapassar todas as dificuldades.
ReplyDeleteBeijo.
Yuo have a wonderfull market place and especially colourfull fabrics! It is nice to here about your life and family. I have been married 47 years and we have two children and seven grandchildren. We had a very cold period here in Finland but now is sun shining and we heve +3 Celsius degrees so it is warmer. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your colourful beautiful market and your wonderful love story!
ReplyDeleteYour market is a very colorful and busy place. Yes I believe puzzles and anything else that keeps your mind active is well worth while. Now 13 C cold??? I haven't have plus 13 C for 4 months and have 2 more months to go before it might get to 13 C
ReplyDeletehaha i can understand Red that you live in incredibly cold part of the land but we spend most of the year in extreme hot weather so 13 c with cold wind is counts cold here
DeleteI love markets and this one looks amazing, so colorful and so many interesting things.

Such colourful , beautiful material, Baili.
ReplyDeleteYou were fortunate to select the wonderful man you married! You are both fortunate!
Your children and values are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the fabrics. I make quilts and the photo is inspirational! Thank you for sharing.
Its an interesting view on things culturallybut I do like a good a Sunday Market
ReplyDeleteLovely post dear! Have a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteThe market looks very vibrant and colourful. My grandmother used to love doing puzzles and my daughter likes doing them too. It's good to challenge your mind. My wife and I are learning German and I find that very challenging. Thanks for sharing a personal story with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Wow that is wonderful Bill !
Deletemostly in this age here people spend their precious time in gossip instead of being productive or learner of new exciting things that give you pleasure as well as sense of achievement ,
My son is also learning German now a days as he will go to Germany in October and is intended to do job along with his studies .
What you have said is very wise, baili. Work gives our lives meaning and satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteI love to see your pictures and read your cheerful words!
I like the materials displayed that way in the market - it is so easy to see them. I feel sorry for the birds, too. There are always people, no matter where you go, that think animals' feelings do not matter. But that is false. Bless you for being one of the people who cares.
Thank you for this insight into your life. I really enjoyed your photo tour. May you be blessed.
ReplyDeleteUntil next time...
I loved reading you life story :-) You were wise in your choice of husband, the two of you grew together and that is wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteYour story about the caged birds reminded me of an Aviary that I visited a few years ago. The cages were big not like the ones you show. The rest of my family were lagging behind so I was on my own looking at a beautiful parrot when a loud noise made me jump out of my skin!
http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2011/02/12/leeds-castle-the-aviary/
The reason a started to walk off was because the parrot was distressed and I didn't want to add to that. On this occasion I was wrong, it seemed that the parrot wanted me to stay with it a little longer whilst it recovered from the loud noise...
you are right dear Cherry often birds and animals who brought up as pets don't want to be left alone and i noticed it when my late mother's pets [pair of parrot] used to follow her everywhere she went and climb and sit on her shoulders mostly !
DeleteThose fabrics are so beautiful! What gorgeous colours. What a lovely market. I enjoy having a glimpse into your part of the world. The part about the birds did sadden me, though. It is a crime what we do to animals.
ReplyDeleteA superb post, very interesting to read. Your photos of the market are wonderful but yes, poor birds. Thank you for a look at a different part of the world. It is good to travel through your excellent photography.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you visited my blog so that I could come back to visit yours! What an inspiring and wonderful post. You sound like a strong woman with deep convictions and spirit! I loved the pictures of the market as it gives me a glimpse of the other side of the world from me. I would love to see those gorgeous fabrics hanging up close!
ReplyDeleteLovely, colourful shots. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of the market - I hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely and fun posts ! I love th shots !!Send you hugs!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better. It is going to snow again tomorrow. We had snow just on Sunday all day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing pictures of Karachi. My Grandmother used to talk a lot about Karachi, long time ago.
The colorful dresses are probably Shalwar and Khameez suits.
The story of your marriage and love is so beautiful and heartwarming. I love the way you think about life.
ReplyDeleteThis market in Karachi is marvelously colourful. (Wonderful dresses!) :-)
I hope you already feel better. Hugs!
What a fun place to visit. Poor little birds do look unhappy though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely photos. I am like you in that I cannot stand to see any animal in a cage. They really need to be in their own natural habitat. I hope you're feeling better very soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better! What a lovely market! So many things! I love the fabric and the dresses! Beautiful! I to felt very bad for the birds!!! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice reading your story. We will fell happy when we stay in our own house.I love to roam in markets because we can see many things and buy whatever we need there. It is a wide collection of all things. We can buy everything in one place.
ReplyDeletesometimes I think it would be nice living in a country with such an established and strict system
ReplyDeleteLife is such an amazing journey. I love reading about yours. This market looks like such a treat. A fun place to spend time with the family. I would love shopping for the dresses. The colorful prints definitely attract me!
ReplyDeleteBaili, I read this post on what is celebrated as Valentine's Day, and was very moved by the honesty you shared in telling about the relationship of you and your husband. Material things are not as important as working together and building a life, home and family. You have a wonderful perspective and viewpoints aon what matters most in life. I am so glad that you pisted on our blog so that I could find yours.
ReplyDeleteThe markets are colorful, especially those fabrics, but the caged birds while beautiful too would have made me sad as well.
And, I do send you well wishes to fell better soon, Baili.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice to read more about you ...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of photographs you've shared, I do like those colourful fabrics that are hanging up, it would certainly draw me in to have a closer look.
I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well - I wish you a speedy recovery
All the best Jan
I love your style of writing and I really like that post, the markets looks great, but I also feel sorry for the birds...I'm following you, greetings from Poland☺
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed what you've written here. you have a kind heart. I also feel for the birds..so very sad what we humans do sometimes.
ReplyDeletehappy days to you.
Marie
thanks for the valentine wishes. I agree with every word you said here 100 percent and really enjoyed your photos to show your country to us. I to hate to see birds in cages..
ReplyDeleteKarachi reminds me very much of Lucknow in north India where I live. Some of the old buildings resemble each other. I also enjoyed the photos of the colourful market. The Pakistani fashions are so beautiful and elegant. Thanks for this glimpse into life in a neighbouring country. Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colours and selection in this market, the dresses are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo tour. I never get to see anything like that. Beautiful colors and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and colorful market you have access to, and yes I also feel bad for those beautiful birds. Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteThat market looks like a lot of fun. It must be so much more fun shopping there than in the supermarket where everything is always the same. So much life in the market.
ReplyDeleteI think I would enjoy walking through that market. Those fabrics are very eye catcjhing
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the photos of the market and your city.
ReplyDeleteHi dear, Baili! I had no idea I had fallen so behind in your posts! I enjoyed the tour through the market in Karachi. I know that I would enjoy walking through it for real. I agree with you ~ I get so much satisfaction from the struggling experiences I have had in life. My husband and I worked hard and saved money throughout our lives. Now we have a lovely home, and we are enjoying traveling and visiting our extended families during our retirement. I feel very blessed, but we worked very hard and made sacrifices to build the life we wanted. I never take my blessings for granted. I thank God every day for health, happiness, and the love of family and friends. Wishing you God's blessings, dear Baili!
