The Stuff Of My Life

 Hey lovely souls 🥰

Hope having blessed season with beautiful day !

Our heat ( feels like 46) has knocked us down totally. Rains and thunderstorms have been reported from various parts of the country  this week but our Sindh province and small city Khairpur are coping with dreadful dry weather.  When it was raining all over the country we had strange dark brown clouds on the sky for one week laden with sand instead which showered throughout the week upon us 😏

I am not complaining just sharing the situation. Due to extreme heat people use air conditioning more which makes the wiring system overheated and transformers give up by exploding. We lost power for two days and when we got it back the voltage was down to support air conditioner. Hubby’s nephew who is electrician fixed the problem on fourth day. We got very less sleep meanwhile .

I tried to stay positive while my senses were trying to escape the reality during house chores. It’s challenging I mean really challenging 😂

What helps me to stay up meanwhile?  My long term (13 years) meditation over holy book.  Yes when nothing else works the repetition of some holy verses gives me strength because when I start reciting them I feel a strong wave of energy rising within me like light entering in the darkness and everything seems bearable surprisingly 🥹🙏

Today hubby brought home loads of files that he will be needing for the process of retirement paper work. He got two days to his retirement. He told that he will be given the farewell party on Saturday🥰

I often asked him how it feels to be retired? He smiles gently and says nothing special,everything is part of the life. He is always deep ,quiet and to the point 😊 I am grateful for I could find opportunity to spend life with him. I thankfully many times told him on different occasions that “ it was really nice to meet you “ 🥹🥰

We will be leaving for Islamabad in two weeks hopefully. Looking forward to place where we can exist without tooooo much sweat 😭😅.

Eldest son has booked an Airbnb apartment for us for two months! He is very caring son undoubtedly and we are really grateful to have him 🙏🥰

Best thing he did for me as mom is he has offered some kind of internship training to his younger brother. And therefore younger son can stay with us for whole two months 🥹 Otherwise he would have to return to Karachi to engage with his classmates in Final Year Project in university. I feel very happy,peaceful and thankful for providing us this time period with our younger son . I can’t help missing them despite all the understanding of life and everything ☹️

Thank you so much for being with me dear friends and thank you more for sweet encouraging words which enlighten my heart always 🥰

Thinking of you all with heart full of best wishes and prayers 🙏

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

Heat , Nicotine ,Spray And Mustansar Hussain Tarar

 

Hello Dear Friends 🥰

Hope all of you are having blissful times!

First of all heartfelt thank you for your kind comments on my previous post 🥹🥰♥️ your encouragement is my strength 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

We are going through extremely hot weather these days. It’s 11am and temperature is 40 Celsius.you can imagine the rise of temperature as sun moves further throughout the day 😭 . Sometimes I doubt if I have lost my ability to bear heat or summer seems has been really bothering overall for all over the world. Anyway for the first time I feel that I am suffering because of heat which seems to filled in the environment like air in the balloon and pressurising us when move around.It’s bad. 

Good thing that despite that burning pressure I am able to do my house chores even when hubby yells at me to stop trying to get sick 😅

I have shared in my prior to the previous post that in my opinion drinking tea excessively from early teenage has weakened my bones. I thought so because my elders,mom particularly and  later in life hubby would forbid me to do so . They would say that taking too much tea is harmful to overall health. We didn’t have internet then to verify the fact quickly. Even when we got internet few years ago idea of checking it didn’t cross my mind. Somedays ago when I was asking my younger son to stay cautious about the tea consumption he immediately checked and said that you are right about not taking tea right after meals but see there is a really little amount of nicotine in the tea 0.7 mcg which is not dangerous at all unless you are excessive drinker . 

I felt little relieved honestly. Also embarrassed that why I couldn’t check it earlier. One thing I forgot to ask you friends that  have you too been drinking tea which had nicotine ???

Can you share that how many cups of tea you would took in young age and have you reduced the amount now ??

Another question that I forget to ask you in winter mild season , that do you use spray for flies and mosquitoes inside or outside? Do you have to mask before doing so because it hurts your nose and throat immediately???

We have changed many sprays but none have been harmless to us. Each time eldest son asks before coming home that what he should bring for me and I don’t say anything. But I think I will ask him to bring some vitamins and sprays next time hopefully 😅

 When extreme heat dims the mind and I am unable to read in spare time I watch some knowledgeable videos . Last week I found our very famous and one of the most popular writer Mustansar Hussain Tarar ‘s conversation at the art council on his latest book inauguration. He has written around 70 books among them majority is translated into English language. Some of his works are being taught in Masco university since thirty years. If you are interested to know more you can check details Here .  Watching him after long time made me feel nostalgic because I had read few of his books in my school library. About thirty seven years back he has hosted first morning show on national television which made him popular in remote areas to the common people who were unfamiliar with his written works.This also made me realise that I should buy Urdu literature books as well that bring back the memories of my old days full of reading 😊 

I think this is enough for now. I have to go to the kitchen to make lunch. Keep me in prayers so I can get back to the room walking on my feet and not getting faint with heat 😂

Sending you all heartfelt best wishes and love ❤️ 

Stay blessed every moment amen 🥰🙏

Blank (Poem)

 Fresh new sun when knocked at door 

Another day appeared with list of chores 

Here starts the race of time 

Everyday life's random rhyme 

Clock is ticking like bugle sound 

I  ignore by go round and round 

Sweet or sour is life's pickle 

Tasting  it   is   inevitable 

Hasting around the household maze 

I could hold the blogging trace 

But when sat with my laptop 

Shaky thoughts all i could grasp 

Felt entangled in numerous knots 

Lots to do and time is short :(

What to do when mind is blank ?

Empty totally, idea's tank ?

Think ,please think you have lot to share

Weekly post at least you care 

But brain blinking as owl at night 

As he got everything out of sight 

Okay fine i gave up 

Wishing everyone  just good luck !

Hope you all find beautiful day 

All the best things on your way !!!!!!!!

Having younger son at home makes me little busier dear friends :)

will continue to visiting you all though .

sending much love and heartfelt best wishes to you all and to all you love!

 

Both Sides Of The Picture Good And Bad

 

Hello precious friends ♥️

Hope you all are doing great by the grace of God!

Our weather has been so upsetting lately.Lots of sandstorms daily almost. Sometimes we clean up mess done by earlier one and at evening or night second spell of sandy winds start and everything I mean literally everything hides under the thick layer of sand 😡😭

On positive note our younger son has come to spend two weeks with us from Karachi which is healing to the aching heart of the mother 🥹🙏

A week ago our youngest son lost his phone while riding his motorbike to the home. It was quite expensive one (Samsung 22) so we were sad. But we youngest son was sad because phone had important things and files. Hubby went with son to look for the phone in the way he passed but found nothing after one and half  hour. We assumed that phone was gone now. Meanwhile youngest son called to one of his friends from his father’s phone. His friend came which was appreciated as it was midnight . Both of the boys tried to locate the phone location through google maps which was not appearing clearly due weak internet. Hubby kept trying to call on missing phone . And it was then that phone rang and someone informed youngest son that they have found his phone on the road around 9pm and trying to reach but signal is not working. Both boys left in the hurry to collect phone . Hubby decided to follow them as it was midnight and little unsafe for kids to go to the strangers. Anyway these were luckily good men with good heart thankfully🙏👍 hubby and kids walk with them to the restaurant and offered pizza treat and drinks. This was gesture of appreciation in return for their favour. For me it was another miracle 🥹🥰🙏

Knowing that world bears still good people strengthens my faith in Divine 🥹🤗!

Sharing with you all these beautiful paintings which I have framed finally 🥰🤗♥️

Dear blog friend Debra has sent me this wonderful painting done by herself few years ago. But I really couldn’t understand why I remained unable to find it in all these years unfortunately. I remember I had kept it in thick heavy book of  encyclopaedia but it wasn’t there when I looked for it after somedays surprisingly.. I ,we both left no stone unturned within the house but no clue. It happened often that in my spare time I would open encyclopaedia and review each page carefully as if I missed something. Then finally I found picture of this painting in google photos account and we decided to print it. The framing man framed the sharp colour copy instead of original light coloured one. But I think I can replace it later.

      I am already Stunned by the beauty and richness of Debra’s art 👌🥰👍 it’s amazing😍

We have waited for eldest son so we can ask him to send Debra a little gift from me as token of gratitude,so I was happy to see on her blog that she has received the package of dates 🙏🥰 eldest son has also added this lovely card in the package which was so nice of him 🥹🙏🥰♥️

    I took these shots when hubby and younger son hung all these pictures on wall , hubby argued with the frame man for not ironing the handkerchiefs embroidered by Gabi properly but he made excuses as expected. Though it’s much visible in closeup but looks fine in natural light when curtains are removed ♥️

   Sue’s gift this cloth painting appeared so beautiful after framing 👍🥰 it’s looking wonderful on front wall of veranda 🤗

Thanks for being with me dear friends 🥰🙏 

Our country is going through frightening times as Indian armies have started attacking on different parts of the country.most of drone attacks have been turned down by Pakistan army but people are anxious about situation that what comes next . 

We are fine and praying for the peace of the world and now for our own country as well 🙏🥹🙏

Health,peace and happiness to you all and to all loved ones ♥️
