Botanical Garden Visit , Wedding glimpse

 Precious and Dear Friends hope you are enjoying pleasant change in weather . Here after really hot days of April we suddenly got some rains and hailstorms in northern Pakistan which affected southern country quite positively . We are having second week of airy and bearable weather for which we are very grateful 🥹🙏

I have recovered from my flu and fever fully by the grace of God!

Though now my youngest son has got sore throat and light fever but recovering after taking medicine prescribed by doctor thankfully 🙏

We have been busy with family wedding celebrations.The eighteen years old son of hubby’s younger brother got married to his fifteen year old first cousin. We attended the last function yesterday. Sharing just few glimpse of it . 

And eldest son has shared few pictures from their visit to the botanical garden last week when they were in the town where Gabi’s former teacher lived . Both kids stayed there for two days to look after the cute pets as the family was out of town for two days. We had quite fun while having online chatting with our son and Gabi as they showed us pet who looked very happy and active 🥰🤗 the black beauty the mom and the golden daughter both were competing to occupy the laps of them . Eldest son told they were taking to a walk in garden close by twice a day. Gabi also sang an Hindi song from Indian movie which I have heard is her favourite 🤗♥️ It was joyful surprise to see her singing Urdu song so effortlessly 😍👍♥️

                 Walking pet must be fun more for elders I think as they look very exciting companions 

          Eldest son says Gabi isn’t fond of such heavy carbohydrates but she joins him once in a while. 

       I think few flowers are grown here as well now due to modern fasciitis of easy transportation , a lovely flower  showing flowers 🥹🥰♥️

Eldest son responded to my curiosity about this iron crossing,  if I remember correctly he said it’s a bridge.how amazing 👍

                                        Found the tree branches formation quite intriguing 😊

I took quite the moment to get what this is actually,a bird of some kind or bloom,didn’t ask eldest son as may i sound foolish 😅

                                                                 Are.  these bluebells?

                The younger couple is captured during henna  ceremony three days ago 

In the middle  is daughter of one of the brothers in law,very active and smart and raising her kids nicely as they are studying well thankfully!, on right youngest sister in law. Took right before leaving for marriage hall.

Thank you so much for being with me 🥰

Have to get up for preparing lunch and some housework.

Health peace and happiness to you all and to all you love🙏🥰♥️

Thankfulness, Family photos ,Museum Of Art And Flowers

 Hey precious friends 🥰

Hope having nice and meaningful time!

Thank you everyone for liking my poem and leaving kind comments. I particularly appreciate John from John ‘s island who second time responded with beautiful poem far wonderful than mine 😊👍🤗 this is so sweet of you dear John and undoubtedly you are amazingly talented poet . And I honestly wonder why don’t you share your poetry on your blog ☺️

Last week I attended a family get together and host (my sister in law) presented some homemade food. I took few bites hesitatingly on return I got sick over the night surprisingly. Nothing big but flue with constant sneezing and fever. Worst part that my taste buds seem to paralysed as I couldn’t feel taste of anything. We visited the doctor and feeling lot better. According to hubby it was cooking oil of not such good quality probably who gave me flue. I have mentioned that after long time meditation my inner body system seems to react sensitively to things which are normal for others.

On positive note, eldest son Ahsan and Gabi visited a museum with Sue and her Iranian friend in London . On my curiosity dear Sue shared with me these awesome pictures 🥰

As it was Mother’s Day as well so both kids brought bouquets to both mothers 🤗♥️

Priceless times for parents with children 🥹🤗🥰

       Sorry for not sharing the link ,couldn’t do it ,museum is by Stephen Wright  British artist who created this art by using all available materials .looks intriguing isn’t it 😊

      Creative mind perceives things differently and more meaningfully 

Our Eid day wasn’t much better due to younger son’s minor injury still joy of togetherness and gratitude was there 

    Do you too think that 23 days fasting made me slightly light weight 

   My brother’s wife shared this photo from their tour to Texila museum where she encountered with this kind Chinese lady who posed for photo on the request of my niece 

                                                                Pretty bloom from yard 

          Sadly Our sun flowers were spoiled by insects this year 

                     Roses bed of fragrance less rose plant

Thank you for being with me dear friends 🥰

Health,peace and happiness to you and to your loved ones 🥰♥️

Much love and best wishes ♥️

Eternal Battle (poem)

 You have left “ me “ in the tunnel of my body 

with light and darkness walking alongside 

Without leaving me a clue how to exist between this fight 

 compression of both opponents is knocking down my being 

Which one is taking the battle, unable to weighing 

Sometimes darkness is everywhere my eyes can see 

Crushing my soul and breaking my heart as if it meant to be 

Robbing my dreams and snatching away all my gleeful hopes 

Dismay ,sorrow and disappointment lamenting over my corpse 

senses lost in jungle of regrets ,fear , shame and pain 

Standing in the middle of nowhere feeling isolated ,insane 

Anger is wind , tears are rain and helplessness is season 

Everything about me is questioned and “trusting “ has no reason 

Empty,shocked and shaken by circumstances I am in 

Trying to figure out what is gained and what is stolen 

Then suddenly game twisted again and I am in different phase 

Darkness has disappeared and sun is spreading rays 

This time light is triumphant and life is full of glow

Sky is blue and earth is lush,nothing looks dull or slow 

Birds are singing songs of hope and joyful tomorrow 

Life is rich with happiness as much as you can borrow 

Everything seems to be bursting with joyous metaphor 

Hugs of love and gifts of smiles,time is such a sweet anchor 

On souls’s tree chirping wishes and merry thoughts are nestled 

To heart’s ears by beating breeze joyous promise is whispered 

Eyes glittering with gratitude,head is bowed to Divine 

As if all has been good so far and will be remaining fine 

Before I could settled for the moment,things got upside down 

Shivering In the awe of swap thinking if I was clown?

Time has been passing by day by day and year by year 

I remained stuck in this battle until white hair appeared 

When my body wrinkled,I realised my soul grew younger 

Physical eyes declined when ,inner vision grew stronger 

Wondering heart of mine one day could step out of mist

Like everyone else I could finally had my gift 

Power  to see what is lying underneath the pretence 

Peeking through the reality ,things could make sense 

What I have been bearing wasn’t only my body ‘s curse 

I saw darkness and light prevailed across the universe 

I wondered who placed them there to fight eternal battle 

Each of them existed there for other as an obstacle 

My body like millions of others was fabric of these two !

Ego shattered into the pieces erasing what was drew 

With what I claim this world and what it supposed to be 

If I am just a “fabric “ and there is no such thing as “me” ???

Darkness and light pulling strings and shaping my destiny 

Did I come here from heaven to perform “puppet “ and leave?

Or there is something waiting yet to be revealed?

Proceeded with my journey towards my goal 

I realised that  all the answers possess only my Soul!

Vastness of my Soul had no end  as  pure ,divine Sea

Led me to perpetual heights like ever growing Tree

Where I met eternal Light of my  ever evolving soul 

That Light promised me that unshaken control 

Over the both of powers playing with my life 

“Light” gave me the Will power and freedom which one to drive!

It felt so liberating to get rid of messy cage 

Where I was stuck in a fray full of hatred and rage

Seeing with the Light from higher brings in so much peace 

Finally I have something which I claim “mine “ at least 

When Life. Gives You Tangerines

Hello Beautiful Souls ♥️

Hope finding the beauty within this random patterns of life through your curious mind and beautiful heart ♥️ 

Our sweating summer has been started since few days 😏

Which adds an extra permanent job into our daily routine “ cleaning the sweat after every few seconds while doing everything 😡 

It feels like some invisible tap on the top of our head has been left opened and water is running down all over all the time 😂

Anyway,  the good side of summer is that our garden is full of plants and flowers and our neem tree has started to put on her lush new clothing as well. The lemon plant is bearing abundance of tiny pretty flowers and lemons are growing as well.

Our Eid day turned sad when on the night before (chand raat ,means moon night) Eid our younger son had a minor accident while he was riding on the motor bike . He was going to eat something with his younger brother and when they passed by the nursery a young girl suddenly came out front of his motor bike. He had to stop abruptly in order to save that girl which resulted in their fall . Our youngest son got light scratch on right side of knee but younger son got serious and bit deep scratches on both knees and left hand as well. He also got twisted heel in left foot which troubled him for three days. But by the grace of God he was well enough to leave for the university yesterday despite we asked him to take few more days off .He refused because he said he was feeling better and got his mobility back so no need to sit back . It’s because his father took great care of him throughout these days and shown him to doctor immediately the day it happened. He is in his hostel now and doing fine absolutely by the grace of God!🙏🥹

It was my younger son who introduced us to the Korean dramas two years ago. Since we watched many Korean shows. There is variety of stories and the powerful way to portray them on screen. I have watched Chinese and Japanese shows as well but I feel that Korean drama is giving them tough time now days because of their high quality work in all fields such as production, storytelling and acting 👍♥️

We watch various shows as audience  but love most those we can relate easily.

I am  enjoying a  Heartfelt beautiful show these days When life gives you tangerines  .  I just checked on it and found out it’s true story of a couple from ja. Sue island. From very first episode I  could feel the grip of story and how beautifully it is built with such details of human emotion!

I believe that show will stay close to my heart for many reasons among which most obvious is the emotional connection between characters 🥹 . I  Specially loved how strong soul connection was shown between mother and daughter in first two episodes ♥️ I could relate to each scene thoroughly 🥹

Love is divine emotion which shows how the hearts of the characters are deeply connected to each other and how all the odds of the life fail to break them 🥰

I am an emotional person and love is all I got so for one like me such lovely dreams are treasure 😍

I will request you all to have a look please if you too believe in Love 🥹🥰♥️

Thank you for bearing with me my precious friends 🙏

God bless you all  with love,health,peace and happiness every moment amen ♥️

Yearly Cleaning And Happy Eid

 

Hello beautiful souls 🥰

Sorry for being bit absent from blogging.

 I was totally taken by yearly deep cleaning of the house in the last week of the Ramadan month. It had been two years I haven’t emptied the all kitchen cabinets and clean thoroughly due to lack of energy and health deprivation. But this year I couldn’t stop myself from doing it again as it has been included in my routine regularly. Doing something mom had been doing front of us for years is therapeutic for me honestly 🥹🥰♥️  Such activities deepen my connection to her 🫂🥹♥️

I must say special thanks to my youngest son who helped me to make this possible 🥹🤗🥰

Our younger son has joined us as well for a week by the grace of God🥹🙏🥰

He has been a huge help during all this cleaning process which made it done in the meantime thankfully.pictures below I shared are only few tiny glimpse of kitchen cleaning. I remembered to take photos this time because youngest son was a great support. Otherwise I would be worrying about that how to end it before evening time. I didn’t took pictures of rest of the cleaning nor were they as good looking as these ones 😂

       

          Steel utensils , ninety percent of them are  bought by me from sukkur market, looking at them reminds of those that my mother had gifted me when I got married.they were of far better quality and finest appearance. It’s hard to find same quality here no one how hard we tried 

       Lots of mugs , behind with panting are bought from Islamabad flee market,place where second hand things are sold, unlike before the price have been foupaled ( self made term I use for four times higher )

      I have shared brief pics of the two of my dinner sets long ago, these are of plastic not ceramic. We could have afford buying them but I realised why paying such high price for them and not spend same money in more meaningful things such as helping needy !

      

                                                    The more dense and pricy is this one 

                                                   For personal use in special occasions 

      The tea set of the house. On the right four pretty and delicate cups with yellow flowers are bought from flee market. Karachi ,the try at front with flying birds is also from flee market many years ago 

      It’s Eid day today, we have taken many pictures but all in hubby’s  iPhone and he has gone to meet his mother. I couldn’t wait for this evening so sharing an old photo from recent trip to Islamabad when we all were together 🥹🤗🥰♥️♥️♥️

Happy Eid to All of you lovely friends ☺️🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love you all ♥️♥️♥️

Lovely, beautiful and wonderful things

 

Hello kind people!

Hope all is well with you and yours by the grace of God!

We have entered in the last ten days of Ramadan month. I am really grateful for I could fast after many years (  five to six years almost) 

I am more happy about reduction of carbs in our daily life which made it possible. Because the more carbs you eat the more hungry you feel for carbs. Does it sound like laws of attraction 😂

Thanks to blogger friend Jan who keep inspiring me first of all then to Doctor Doctor Zee whom we subscribed on YouTube (Urdu channel) He with his short and brief videos convinced us (me and hubby) to cut short our breads and  decrease the sugar intake. We are planning to 

shift to the two meals a day rather than three meals. It’s amazing to feel less stuffed and light🤗

      Sharing hubby’s image because I feel it worth it, I often take hubby’ photo before he leaves for the office.  He has two more months of such routine. He is retiring in the first week of June 2025 .I wonder how it feels to suddenly disengage long time routine (30 years)  He is gift for his family ♥️

This lovely photo and one below it are from the day when eldest son Ahsan and Gabi has invited Gabi’s parents to celebrate Sue’s birthday 🥰 this image fills my eyes with tears of joy and gratitude 🥹♥️

     A family photo after their visit to restaurant I guess. Sorry that I couldn’t find  Sue’s birth date though I scrolled my cell screen lot😔  me and hubby are quite impressed with this beautiful family who schedule trips to different countries and cruise on yearly basis properly.  Right a week or two after this Sue and John visited Austria by road.they travelled through the underwater tunnel to France and then to Germany and Austria. This was astonishing that John drove whole way 😯👍 . They are visiting this route to Austria since thirty two years almost. It’s a wonderful thing for me to learn even 😊🥰👌 and after returning from this tour Gabi ,her family and other close family members went to cruise for five days . How exciting 🤗🥰♥️ I love to see families so closely engaged and travel together.  My son was invited for each trip but sadly he didn’t have time to join that because excursion.next time hopefully 🤞 

     Sue is very nice photographer, she has shared one of her capture with from London ,she is very active person,she reads ,travels ,write for some magazine and teaches badminton to youngsters! She is sixty four♥️

This short video was shared by Sue when they were on trip to Austria and they were entering in the underwater tube train to reach France . I found this whole thing very interesting and exiting. Travel under the water and in the train wow everything is full of wonder 😍🥰♥️

Thanks dear friends for being with me!

Health peace and happiness to you and to all you love ❤️ 

What Inspired Me Most In Our Holy Book

 I have shared about my life with honesty always. Honesty is the only gift I have. No further skill I got. 

I have mentioned I wasn’t  religious as growing person. When my mother would make me get up early in the morning to say prayer or read holy book I would be irritated like normal children of my age. In early teen, My grandfather had gifted me some heavy religious books which I tried to read honestly because I loved reading always but they were packed with extreme thoughts and threats for the sinner . My little mind couldn’t grasp that How Creator of such Huge universe can think such small way so I returned them. I would rather love to sit with grandparents and ask them to tell stories. I still feel lucky I could spent some time with them. 

Anyway, my views regarding religion remained cold till my thirties only because I couldn’t find anyone who can inspire me to get close look of the matter. I would participate in religious rituals like prayer,fasting without comprehension of what they mean actually. But my longing to do everything with absolute honesty kept me anxious. 

In 2011 when I felt devastated and heartbroken after the death of my parents , I tried many things to attain peace of mind but nothing worked. 

God has plans for everything. He had for me as well. He knew me more than I knew myself. He knew my desire to get close to him. He knew how to give a way. He used trauma of the loss of my parents to pull me towards Him . And guided me to the path that could reveal Truth to my heart eventually. 

Reading Quran wasn’t any help for understanding religion for some early years because  it was not my aim at all. I would open the holy book after everyone was gone only to feel less lost and alone. Like a drowning man would try to hold anything floating by to stay up.

But when, with time i realized that my grief was soothed and i was able to focus on what was before my eyes ,i started to concentrate on the topics and stories mentioned within Quran . with repeated reading in  more than a decade i slowly, was able to feel connected to the main theme of the holy book. My mind has a habit of connecting  things quickly in the background while my eyes are focusing on things present before. It helps lot in solving thriller ,suspense and mystery movies or books.

When i would read Quran my mind would connect it's theme .message or subject with scientific theories and daily human life quietly.

This deepened my interest in science and what it says about Maker of the universe and everything within it. 

But today it is not the topic . 

I just want to share what Inspired me most in our holy book so i could first of all trust it from within fully and relate with what it says to some extent. 

Like all other holy books Quran also describes world as place for test of our Faith. And that life for people with Faith will be easier than those who don't have Faith .

What touched my heart most is that it invites towards goodness and equality of everyone regardless of race ,gender ,coulor and possession . It says that just having of tag of any religion cannot make one go to heaven (or live an easy life ) but having eemaan which means a healthy mindset with positive and harmless attitude can lead to a happy life because he gains the will of Creator with him!

According to Quran Since the beginning world was given only one Religion ,Religion of God .To make people live a life with goodness and harmony. Though this Religion was named differently during different time periods by various nations but basic subject never changed !

 According to our holy book the only thing that is important for the Creator in human is their humanity and piety of their character . Piety of character means that he lives a harmless life for people around him and does no corruption in society which can lead to mental and physical destruction . Any of such sin is counted as unforgettable sin in the eyes of God .Though personal mistakes are considered forgettable .  Because no one will be accountable for what others did.

Quran asks his people to have Faith in One God,  Who Created everything. 

Have Faith on that since world has been created He has sent so many of His Messengers ( according to myth here one lac 24 thousand)  to remind us about the promise He has taken from us when we were only souls .Promise to be good to us and to all around on earth.

 The names and stories of Muses ,Christ and many other prophets are mentioned as confirmation of the Truth they brought to the world. While it is also  said that Denying any of it will be considered the Denial of all prophets and God Himself.

In the explanation it is also mentioned that No part of land is spared from God's messengers including China and India. ( which shows acknowledgment of universal guidance for all nations equally)  

Have Faith on all the holly Books He has sent through the hearts of His Messengers so people can stay up to date about their task here . 

Have Faith on the judgement day ,that universe will end ( like everything else) someday and people will return to their Creator and will be questioned about their doings. 

I realized through my daily life observation that how important it is for everyone to have concept of right and wrong. because when even one person in the family avoids it or one even one person in the parliament avoids it  things get messy and complicated for all around them . 

Today we see that most of the people have lost the concept of good and bad which is resulting in the horrible world we live today.

Forgive me but it is hard to believe that everyone has his own right and wrong. This idea supports a thief who robs others because he thinks this is the only option but it does not go with normal people .

 I believe that science helped us to understand that  laws of physics work same way everywhere in our universe . Therefore we can see that in nature everything is working in harmony to where it belongs. Such as if each petal in the flower decides to take different path a flower can never be shaped . 

Similarly in our body if one organ fails to do it's duty we fell sick .

I admit that  whatever is happening in the world is also part of   nature's law of constant change and evolving.

 But having Consciousness make us responsible for better manifestation i believe. 

I shared my thoughts honestly once again and i hope my friends who will read the whole post will share their thoughts as well .

Thank you so much for bearing with me dear friends !

Health ,Peace and Happiness to all of you and to all you love!

 

Happy Women’s Day To All Wonderful Women, Mom And Yes Debra ♥️

 

I have realised that since sometime I am forgetting to post on special days like mother day or women’s day . All days are equally important and beautiful. But these two are most favourite of mine.

I picked up some nice photos for posting today and then I realised it was women’s day yesterday so I decided to post about it.

I have been contemplating about the two main and basic energies with which the universe has been created. It’s not a fantasy or fiction but reality and we see numerous examples of the display of this in everyday life in the form of good and bad whether things or humans or high and low whether mood or status . I have no doubt about it that life is created as an effort to create balance between both sides which makes the existence of anything “ successful “  truly. Otherwise the life is wasted in meaningless conflicts which make it miserable and do no good to anyone.

Why this topic on women’s day?  Because I am a women and my mother was a woman of course,

Women are considered weak because of their physical frame. But here is the most exciting part that strength does come from  physical size.It comes from the real thing that matters most,from inner self ,from soul!

According to the law of physics nothing moves further until applied force on. Women are the ones upon whom forces have been applied since world exists. God has plan for everything from tiny to huge. He created a woman physically weak but he created circumstances to make her stronger than men . To get God’s tricky way one must open his heart because truth isn’t seen with bare eyes only. 

I am proud to have mom like her as she was though seen 

 Mere physically weak woman but those  who encountered her know she was an Undefeatable rock who stood firm against all odds throughout the life. Without her strength she would have never been able to give us life we have today!🥹

She will be my strength and inspiration always.

To be a mother,a woman is better option, God knew that well!

I want to take this opportunity to appreciate the Debra she who seek who posted a Ramadan post. To me it reflects her neutral approach to all religions. And her courage to take such step! She is an inspiration for many undoubtedly! Hats off to you my friend,you are brave and beautiful woman 🥰♥️🙏

Happy Woman’s Day to you all my wonderful female friends 🥰😍👍
