Hey Dear Friends!
Hope all of you are celebrating life with grace and gratitude as each breath that we take is chance to acknowledge the blessings of our creator and serve humanity most possible way that we can.
Tomorrow Muslims all over the world celebrating the Eid festival and everybody looks like in rush to get prepare for it . I just got back from the market which was packed with people mostly ladies who were buying Mehandi [ most important item to decorate hands] and bangles . I was nervous to see such crowd as i was not expecting it at this hot sunny day with 43 c temp but noting could decrease the enthusiasm of people so i just bought bangles in hurry and asked hubby to get me out of here.
Chand Rat celebrations by girls are most popular event before Eid mornng
I wear bangles for only one day of Eid just to count myself among normal ladies around ,i do it to remind myself my teenage life when on Chand Rat [moon's first night of new month] my parents used to take us to the market and buy bangles and Mehandi . Ladies though keep shopping for Eid whole month but these two items they leave for chand rat .
Chand Rat is celebrated with great sensation and enthusiasm.[ Google image]
On such special day this thought still makes me happy and excited that there are so many people out there celebrating this day and wearing new clothes of bright colors eating various favorite dishes and visiting relatives and other picnic spots.
No hard feelings anymore ,lets embrace and celebrate love together [image google ]
It is tradition that on Eid everybody resolve their issues and forget all annoying and complaints just meet and greet each other with love and dignity for new beginning of relationships. Children and youngsters take Eidi [ special pocket money] and enjoy fav foods and rides together .
Delightful Eid Gatherings are very important here [ image google]
Though after the death of my parents Eid is never same again but i love my kids and hubby so much i wear new dress ,cook dishes and try my best to make this day memorable for them .When they leave for Eid prayer i recite some holy verses and pray for my late parent ,my tears give them tribute of my deep love for them but before hubby and kids get back i be normal and well come them with cheering smiles .
My heart strongly ,deeply wants peace and love for this earth ,humanity and for the whole universe !
I feel sorry for those who suffer any kind of sadness or mishap on this beautiful day and cannot enjoy the true spirit of it ,I pray for them that May Lord take away their sorrows and bless them with joy and peace. We have custom to giveaway some appropriate amount of money to needy people to celebrate Eid with self respect and grace . This gives me peace of mind satisfaction.
My son will reach today inshaallah [with God's will] and we will be hopefully having great time together tomorrow on Eid day.
I will give last part of my previous post next week hopefully ,see you all soon.
Please take great care ,love yourself ,love life ,never give up ,if still no victory it means there is more effort to apply so stay happy ,content,strong and positive to turn all in your favor.
God Bless You All!!!my dear dear fellows .Happy Eid to all of you who know abpout it : )
Hello My Precious Fellows!
Hope and Pray that all of you are doing great and enjoying each bit of your beautiful life with positive attitude and pleasant smile . Hope weather at your side of the world is friendly and cooperative enough to do all your works and hobbies .
We reached back to our home yesterday morning .Weather was hot and dry as we left 19 day ago ,though due to being slightly cloudy and airy temperature was 46 c instead of 52 c [19 days ago]
House looked miserable due to dust and dry leaves ,so hubby and me put our luggage aside , took the water pipe and wiper and washed whole house including all three rooms. It was exhausting though , but we felt better when had evening tea in cleaned environment later .
Today we did laundry, mostly did hubby i only hang out the clothes or removed or put back the curtains. Feeling happy that most part of cleaning is done . Only kitchen cupboards remained to be emptied and cleaned as i do whole cleaning resolution before every Eid [our yearly festival followed by month of Ramadan the fasting month , Eid is only few days away now].
I also have to supervise my both kids in their vacation work as they spent most of June in games and fun visits to their favorite place ,now time to pay attention to their studies again .

We lived in Karachi for 19 days and i found weather really beautiful . Due to being close to Arabian sea Karachi has mild summer and mild winters. Unlike Khairpur [ our city] temperature was only 30 plus ,mostly cloudy with chilled breeze .
My son lives in the top floor of five story building so each outing caused us quite an exercise everyday. I found it nice workout after two earlier days . While visiting this Largest city of my country i observed that there 99% people live in vertical order unlike other cites . I belonged to a village where people live in huge houses with lush and serene surroundings and feel free to view nature from far and breath under open blue sky .
In Karachi i saw people who born in such congested flats ,spent their whole lives in such narrowness among many other members of family .They find living in big houses as luxury which remains an unfulfilled desire for them.
I realized that a place where people live affects people 's nature to a great extent . People who grow among stern weather and hard surrounding such as mountains have different characteristics than people who live in smooth valleys beside water. People grown in rude unkind desert are surly part than who live in flourishing cities with completely different environments like banglows or such small flats .
There were four flats on top including one that occupied my son .All families living in the building belonged to a certain community ,only my son was outsider and lived alone or sometime his friends come to live with him for weekends. My son's class fellow who belongs to the same community helped my son to get this flat on rent as this area was better though little more expensive .
I think this is enough for today ,as i am feeling little tired right now ,in next post i will share with you little more about my stay in Karachi ,till then saying you goodbye with lots and lots of best wishes for you guys .
please take great care stay happy and positive as life is so short ,so unpredictable yet gift from someone who loves you even more than you.God Bless You All!!!

Hello precious Fellows!
Hope and pray that all of you are having beautiful time with your families .
I missed all of you so much as on the insistence of my eldest son we had to come to Karachi where summers are less crucial due it's nearness to the Arabian sea i think .After my surgery my son was very concerned about my healing process which could be affect negatively by extreme heat in city where i live [Khairpur ] ,So he insisted and invited us to spend few weeks with him until i cross initial stage of healing atleast..
On 2nd June we arrived in Karachi and i was quite pampered by my son and whole family which made me cry sometime [yes, tears of gratitude ofcourse].
This weekend we visited to the sea and spent almost three amazing hours at the beach ,glorious experience indeed :)
I am sharing few photos of this beautiful day below hope you will like them .
It was 5 pm when we reached at beach ,wind was humid but pleasant ,people were enjoying playing with waves and camel or small four wheel rides that help people to reach out of sandy area of the beach .my first photo was this one .
We spent almost hour among waves , but i felt need to sit somewhere then and my son asked us to walk towards dating point .
Heading to the dating point before us. Lots of people were enjoying view from above but we preferred sitting on rocks and next hours proved that it was great decision as we had great time and observed waves closely which were growing stronger as sun was setting .
I felt tired and wanted to sit ,this weakness is irritating believe me for workaholic person like me.

Sitting finally and felt relaxed ,spent tow beautiful hours here ,talked ,sang ,laughed and my younger son tried hard to teach my eldest son how to whistle but he could learn only a little lol.
Took this pic before leaving at 7 45 pm evening , we stood still ,heard the whispers of waves and felt the restlessness of sea .we said goodbye with our last look at it and left .
Hope to see you very soon my friends ,next week hopefully we will be leaving for our city back ,I visit your lovely places whenever find time ,today managing to give a quick post .
Take great care dear fellows ,stay positive ,happy and strong to turn everything better for you and your surroundings! God Bless You All!!!
