It's not long that long still seems it has been ages since i visited you guys . Reading you all is one of the my favorite hobby so missed you friends!
Our power remained disappeared mostly during last months.Using solar battery when my younger son uses it is hard as it is busiest time of the day for me as house wife . Hubby wants us to give break battery after each two hours for it's longer sustainability so next time when it is on it is after lunch which goes as family tv time though i prefer to take some rest meanwhile so can refresh my energy for evening walk and other chores.
Having guests often is an other pleasant reason though. We had to attend few family events and ceremonies during last two weeks which including a trip to city Panuaqil which is 40 mile away from Kahirpur Mirs.
Main event was belonged to this young man name Allah Bachaya (God saved) He is only son to one of hubby's nephew. Almost thirteen years ago Allah Bachaya was born as premature baby. He was really weak ,white as chalk and seemed hardly longer than my hand. He was kept in incubator for two weeks . When he was brought home he seemed to give up his life in environment normal for others. This was most sensitive and touching sight i ever saw. I went to congratulate his parents for they were back to their home with their first child which was born after seven years of their marriage . When i entered in their home i saw many family members sitting there .But i noticed that the house was burdened with weird silence rather than echoing cheerful chatters. When i moved closer i heard only one voice there the voice of crying and sobbing mother of Allah Bachaya . His father was sitting still beside the bed with blank face and empty eyes as someone snatch away his most precious thing ruthlessly . When my eyes followed his eyes i saw i tiny curved figure laying on the bed completely motionless .His legs were curved with his tummy so he looked more little . When i tried to push his body it rocked slightly like a non living thing . I don't know how and why but i suddenly sat close to that tiny motionless figure and started to cpr which i had watched few times on geographic shows and movies . But since he was really little i was so scared to push pressure on his chest so i used only two fingers instead . I was doing it without having much hope because the way i saw the body rocking it was hard to have hope that he will be back . But it was most amazing and most pleasant shock to see that the baby respond after a minute or more. I really can't explain what i felt in that particular moment when i saw the flash of light in the eyes of parents and how room full of people was filled with joyous noise instantly! Mother of Allah Bachaya hugged me first and then picked up his son . Long story short from then to till today i think " what was that " ? I love giving away things and joys but helping someone to get his life back is surely a larger than life experience and i am grateful that such good deed was in my destiny! Family of this young man visit us once in a while specially his father despite they moved to another city . It was Khatna ceremony of Allah Bachaya on fourteenth November and there were four events to attend including trip to Panuaqil. We have attended three during last weeks and one and final will be held on next Sunday at city hall of Pir Goth, we will attend this too.
It is tradition that aunts of groom (boy who's Khatna is) hold gathering with various happy moves including food items and invite whole family and relative from far and near. Hubby's niece (on right ) is standing with her two daughters who will get married in next five months with their two cousins in our city. I asked them for photos so my niece took me on roof for better light. both girls are studying in school . i wish they could get higher education but customs of villages here in rural Sindh province are old so girls are marred before they are 18 even sadly.
i am standing with one of my sister in law(hubby's sister) who felt lazy due to late night ceremony which i avoided ,i mean i attended but left before 11 pm because this is not my thing anymore to keep awake for late night . picture was taken when we were leaving for home after spending there many hours there.
I so enjoyed the trip .It was my first trip after two long years since we got back from Islamabad .All family members and relatives got up on the bus rented by hubby's nephew. My guess is that they were more than sixty people in bus including children . It was 11 am .Bus took me from home and beautiful journey began happily with the cheerful noise and gentle laughter which dimmed when happy songs started to play on audio system .the audio deck was four feet high and had blasting voice though it was reducing little when i requested. Bus moved on the high way like a joyful ride while scenes outside the window seemed smiling back to us .i loved the trip despite of all because i felt like connecting to the delightful and vibrant side of life :).
Since i am learning more about life my love for life and everyone and everything is deepening gradually. There is meaning in everything ,there is message in each moment ,there is pattern in every event so we should keep pondering and having all the glory life offer to us through her various moods and shades ! Adding our inner beauty to each can make our existence successful!
See you soon dear friends!
Health ,joy and peace to all of you and all you love!
Thank you so much for always encouraging and bearing with me!
Wow that is a remarkable story. To save a life, how can anything be better? I am glad you had a good time and was able to see family and friends.
ReplyDeleteA happy occasion indeed!
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Baili and to read your news.
ReplyDelete...from then to till today i think " what was that " ?
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible! I would call that a miracle.
Do any of the girls who marry before 18 go to school afterwards? I suppose they are busy with family life and maybe it's not the custom, but it seems like they could do both. I think marrying young is a good thing, or can be.
Dear Sandi things and life vary in city and rural areas no doubt whereas girls of cities even of our small city study ,go to collage and many of them attend universities too ,i see girls get married here between twenty two to thirty now and are free to choose career and they continue after marriage in many cases .i witnessed girls who took one to two months leaves from school and send substitute when they are with child .
DeleteGirls from interior Sindh are not that fortunate indeed , i can say that situation is the same in five provinces actually.
Reasons are different ,first of all lack of girls schools ,they can study primary to middle in village but no facility for higher education . The grip of feudal system is loosen but very slowly despite of all the social media and cable tv is available and in fashion village girls seems to leave behind city girls sometimes.
may be you consider me old fashion but believe me i am not .my mindset grows with natural process of how things work in Nature .
I think that "pairing" has special meaning in this phenomena of the universe and life . Universe has born with particles that are paired .
and this is for really important reason for sure !
i think the best age for marriage is twenty at least but i am not against marriages that occur after puberty . If we see human Nature we find that in this phase people are more flexible and can adjust well .When people are old and mature enough they loose most of their flexibility and it is hard for them to change themselves for newcomer .
but i agree that love and care is fact that brings flexibility in us for other person though i saw that " relationship that strengthens with longer companionship " wins the race over most of the things .
the other good thing about early or right time marriage that there is more chance to have healthy children and chance that they grow in time when parents are in age to feel their presence and joys .
it is my opinion all of this.
"...may be you consider me old fashion but believe me i am not .my mindset grows with natural process of how things work in Nature .
DeleteI think that "pairing" has special meaning in this phenomena of the universe and life..."
I think this too. I may be more old fashioned than you. 🙂
"i think the best age for marriage is twenty at least but i am not against marriages that occur after puberty..."
I think it's good to marry young and do life together. My grandma and also my mother-in-law were married young and had/have a husband by their side their whole lives. I think it's a good thing.
It must be so gratifying for you to see this young man now after the close call he had. That was quick thinking, Baili. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteno doubt there is special feeling each time i see him dear Marie
DeleteHe is a very attractive young man. How wonderful he is able to live his life. Congratulations for helping him live that life.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you saved someone's life!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing indeed that you were able to save that sweet young life!
ReplyDeleteThese days of celebration for your family sound so joyous and wonderful!
Thank you dear Nichole ,Debra <Christine ,Bonnie ,mimmylayyn thank you so much!
DeleteGood story about reviving the baby. It's a good thing you were there and knew what to do. Enjoy the celebrations.
ReplyDeletethis is most wonderful part of this story dear Red that i could help only i had some observation from tv watch which is amazing i think .
DeleteTraditions that are completely new for me, baili.
ReplyDeleteThe World really gets closer and smaller like this.
when i was young i had no interest in traditions dear Pedro but as i am growing old quickly i find them interesting and an intriguing way of celebrating gift of life :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful thing you did for that little baby and his parents, baili. Such a lucky thing that you arrived when you did, and that you had the knowledge that was needed at that moment! I love this beautiful story.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time away. And I hope your electricity service starts to work better. It must be quite difficult to try to arrange everything you need it for, in the short time it is available. We don't realize how convenient 24-hour power is until we don't have it. Sometimes we lose power here during wind storms or snow storms. In some parts of the province where there aren't many people, they have to wait days for it to be fixed, as the power company tries to fix it for the more populated areas first. But that doesn't happen often. It sounds like your region has an ongoing problem, and that must be a worry.
exactly "lucky thing to arrive on right time" dear Jenny .
Deletei believe in miracles because my life is filled with such miracles when i could reach on time and saved life of my children or could save us from great damage .
the chain of such incidents has deepened my faith in Divine energy pool in which we seem to exist and all It wait is a pure call from our hearts to connect and let us have bit of it's endless "light "and "power" to survive here .
i believe my arrival on time was possible because the child had time and all he needed a push for which i became source or tool and i am grateful for this!
i was missing traveling and this trip made it possible :)
i think it will last in my memories for so long because it was needed and because i was so present mentally to enjoy it which matters most .
the electricity was available for 24 /7 in our colony because of fair bill clearance ,it remained same for two years at least except minor power off due to some natural cause but since a month it has started again and we are having power hardly for few hours a day during late night mostly which is not help indeed for pending house chores .
three of my sister in laws are married in villages around here ,they had good power accessibility some years back when they had few towers hardly but now when they have grid station and lots of towers electricity is off mostly due to irresponsible behavior of people who don't pay bill properly which is weird because people in village mostly have fine living with farms and cattle and yearly and seasonally crops and veggies .
i think cities are more corrupt when it comes to steal electricity, connections in power company makes it possible to use electricity on huge bases like domestic and commercial without paying "accurate bill" but they rarely caught or questioned sadly .
i remember a thing i learnt during my visit to a grid station while i was teaching in school . the manager of grid station answered to my question that we have electricity enough and mostly all the time ,we hold it for orders to do so come from higher authorities (politicians businessmen) .
i think it happens when both parties try to rise the sale of their things such as solar products which is getting popular here and almost everybody is having it inevitably or because he can afford it .
nothing happens hare randomly believe me
Money talks everywhere, doesn't it? Sadly.
Deleteso true dear Jenny money is a form of certain power among other few so it has it's influence on people in certain way though i have seen that there is wrong sad result to every wrong use of power ,we are stuck in the circle of Nature but we don't realize it mostly in life which is unfortunate indeed!
DeleteYou certainly did such a wonderful job to get his heart working again - you have a natural gift there Baili.
ReplyDeleteindeed it was will of God dear Margaret !
DeleteA beautiful heartwarming story that you nursed Allah Bachaya back to life.
ReplyDeleteA special moment for both of you xx
it is an unforgettable story of my life dear Cheri i agree :)
DeleteThank you for sharing the story about reviving the baby. I think it was wonderful that you knew what to do. God was looking after you and him ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
when i join the dots of things like this it makes me believe that every single moment adds some meaningful thing in our life which has certain use for itself on certain times dear Jan ,nothing is random or useless
Deletethe thing is that "Lord is Amazing "and i am only his creation among other countless dear Cheri :)
ReplyDeleteDear Laurie
ReplyDeleteBaili, you are a healer, I loved reading this post. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!! ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting story you have posted, Baili, and thanks to you that young man has his life ahead of him. You are definitely full of knowledge and using it to save a life is the best use possible in my mind. It is nice that you have had such an enjoyable time spent with family. It's so unfortunate that the power is not a stable utility.
