Life Isn't Linear But You Have To Go Through

 

Hello Sweet Hearts!

hope beating positively on the rhythm of life despite haphazard circumstances of life . 

Dear friends even though i tried to keep visiting you all meanwhile i still missed sharing my heart with you via my post. Actually things went little upsetting in first three weeks for me ,first the health issue and regular visits to hospital ,then ...okay this part is not just painful but quite embarrassing for me :( As some of you know probably that taking medication makes brain slow . This was the reason for what happened and believe me it's not an excuse because i know how my mind would have acted otherwise . One day after the breakfast around 12 pm when news on tv ended and hubby put some talk show that we used to watch together since long time .Basically an interview show in which celebrities belong to different fields interviewed by well known and published poet and writer  Wasi Shaah. As we had planned outing later in evening i went to another room instead and start ironing my dress . Before that i put my ipad on charging in switchboard  in the wall close to the floor . I have just started when hubby asked me to bring the iron table in tv lounge so we can watch show together . I brough the iron table and placed right beside the sofa and plugged the iron in the switch board exactly where my ipad was below ,and it completely slipped from my hazy mind . Anyway my hands were ironing but mind was consumed by the story the guest was telling . At some point lost in emotions iron fell down right on my ipad :(((

yes it really happened and i was responsible ! The hard safety cover protected ipad from breaking into pieces but it's panel broke inside and showed vertical lines . I was shocked ,heartbroken and i hated myself for sometime not because i have lost my ipad but i felt failed to keep gift from my precious son safe !

Right next day to this accident hubby bought me Lenovo thinkpad ,maybe he thought that accident can make me sad for long time!

i was happy to have laptop (longtime dream to have personal) but it could not erase the grief for gift from my son honestly! We showed ipad and they shopman  said it can be fixed but eldest son said that it won't be original and that he will take it back and replace it with original panel.

Meanwhile we visited local parks and malls .

i am sharing some photos from those cheerful moment we spent together .hope you will enjoy them dear friends .

weather is hot but far less than one we left behind ,it rained few times. Monsoon seems late as rains are less than expected until now .

     F 9 park in islamabad , elder son took this shot when we completed our walk 8,000 step total ,this stunning baradari (name of this structure) looked more majestic and mystic after sunset ,hills passing behind quietly look so serene and beautiful ,we enjoyed this view for while as breeze was so nice and cozy 

  Damn e koh (lap of hills) is hill top station 2400 feet high from the gorgeous city of Islamabad provide panoramic and rewarding view of the city ,sons standing close to the entrance and when i asked them to pose the said okay now we will reach to the viewing point after dark as mom has started to take photos 

taken in Rwal Lake View park ,while walking along with huge crowed towards the lake i found this wooden railing fascinating and we took some images there 

weather was cloudy and we were little early like around 4:30 pm still place was packed ,it the terrace area where people find there place and take pics with water and family and friends ,we just scrolled around ,my favorite is spending time beside water and i did it for sometime :)

        younger son had some commitment regarding some project so we spent less time there than we usually do 

after the walking track ( 300 to 500 meters ) we enter in another main gate where we see many visitors riding this train which drops them close to the terrace area , i saw it becomes very handy for people with little children and senior people who find walking bit hard .

damn e koh (lap of hill) has three widespread terrace areas where people enjoy the city view below and take photos , it was perfect day because rain has stopped and air was slightly chilly 

 Faisal Mosque captured by elder son with his apple phone looks magnificent ! he took many shots actually but i could scroll as it's time consuming job 

seeing people taking break from the life 's never ending business and enjoying nature and togetherness makes me feel happy . it feels nice that people are being aware of the importance of  such healthy activities . it wasn't the case some years back .but change is slow but positive thankfully!

that is it for now precious friends! 

i will be visiting you all time to time hopefully!

stay positive and strong ,health ,peace and happiness to you all and to all you love!

Earthquake , Health Issues, Heatwave In Europe And Gratitude

 

Hey Beautiful Souls!

Hope shining with grace and spreading your beauty and light to the world around you 🥰

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your heartfelt and beautiful comments 🙏 I really appreciate your encouragement and support.it uplift my spirits always and realisation that I am blessed with so many kind and caring friends brighten up my day 🥹🤗♥️

One thing I want to say that we are watching news regularly since Iran and America war began. And knowing about the heatwave in Europe,in France particularly is truly heartbreaking! Deaths of vulnerable people due to heat melt my heart with deep sorrow!!! 

I complain about the extremely hot weather in southern Pakistan during summers. But no matter what our bodies have become habitual to it . I feel more sad for European friends who are not used to such terrible heat suffering because of this! 

I wish and pray that this phase may end asap and weather may be better by the grace of God🙏

When we arrive in Islamabad around two weeks ago weather was very nice and pleasant. But as July is knocking on the door days are getting too hot,enough to avoid outdoor activities. Even though air blows throughout the day yet sunlight is unbearable unlike two weeks back when we would walk in sunshine without getting sweaty. I am more concerned about muggy weather from mid July to till the end of the August 😔

But life goes on no matter what right? 

Another utterly painful news was about recent earthquake in the venezuela !!!  There are no words to describe the pain and suffering my heart feels to see this!  Whenever we see in news that people are being rescued from underground it brings little relief to heart but knowing that thousands are still missing sounds horrible! Praying from the bottom of my soul may things be brighter and may darkness be erased by the grace of God!

We too received shakes of earthquake on  27 th June 6:35 pm. Magnitude was recorded 5.9  . Four of us were in different rooms, and all of us ran into tv lounge and shared what we felt. It was in news all over at night. Few old houses collapsed and few injuries were reported,nothing serious thankfully 🙏

Such situations in life show uncertainty of life powerfully! 

Still we try to move forward gratefully because whatever we have been given as life or in life is blessing and not our personal earning🙏

We will stay grateful for the relief God brought us by giving us opportunity to move here for two months at least 🙏

Ok I have said in previous post that I will share about my health issues in next post so here I am. After arriving here in Few days ,one night I felt sick , it was like my head walls were pushing away by some kind of gas inside my head. I felt miserable and anxious, in some minutes hardly my whole face was feeling hot , and red dots like rising round things appeared on my face. Hubby seemed to feel anxious and worried more than me . He wanted to take me hospital immediately but I asked him to calm down and give me zyrtec (antihistamine) . He agreed when I insisted. Tablet gave me timely relief,enough to go to bed. 

Next morning we went to the hospital after breakfast. The hospital is though government one but famous for its valid medical treatment. For me it has special value because when i was little girl around ten I guess  I would come to this hospital with my dear mother!  One of my mother’s relatives recommended that to her who lived in Islamabad. My mother visited here numerous times after that and went through three surgeries here. Back then all the surgeries and medicines well most of them were free of cost luckily. So I can say that God made this hospital a source for my mother to healthy and longer life. Otherwise maybe she would have died with tuberculosis or other complications! 

Anyway,hospital and everything about it is changed now . Since population has increased greatly in these 36 years, there are no measures taken by the authorities to meet the rising demand of medicine and treatment. It was sad to see such a bad condition of everything in the hospital! 

Yet people from all corners of the country come here because the thing they think of is that it’s government hospital at least and despite all the disorganisation and lack of the sense of empathy for patients they won’t be robbed like private hospitals. 

My first two visits were lucky enough to see bit senior doctors ( mid thirties) . As I had skin problem so my first visit was to the dermatologist who prescribed me medicine but when I mentioned that I had stomach ulcer in my youth,he referred me to the gastroenterologist. There a lady doctor was very nice ( hardly thirty) 

She said I lack blood and that I need two injections and one injection through the drip immediately. It took two hours. There was mess in self created wards by partitions. Nurse borrowed a portion of the bed to sit on while drip on my hand. After few minutes my head felt heavy but place was overflowing with patients and there attendants . It was ward for emergency patients who come for little time. 

Worst part of this is that you can never meet the same doctor. Hospital is packed with fresh medical students who have completed their degree and come to join as interns . No senior doctors are nurses available for serious treatment! 

In my third visit to the hospital another doctor wrote some tests . All of them are done except endoscopy that is due after two weeks. Rest of the story will go further after that. I will keep sharing with you dear friends ! Actually when I mentioned that I had stomach ulcer and according to dermatologist current skin issue can be related to it , the younger lady doctor said that she can’t agree on previous diagnosis and treatment because ulcer can’t be caught in ultrasound. So endoscopy is very important and everything depends on the results.

I am taking medicine given by both dermatologist and gastroenterologist, I can see that they are working thankfully!

Yet I am bit concerned about what happened that night. Because the feeling in my head I felt is unforgettable honestly and I am looking forward to what comes out in results of endoscopy.

I have faith in God and hope is my strength dear friends!

Please stay safe and cool and healthy! Thinking of you all with love and prayers 🙏♥️

Trip To Norway By Eldest Son And Gabi To Attend The Master’s Ceremony Of Sofie !

Hey Beautiful Souls!

Hope shining and rising with all your grace and beauty ♥️

I am fine by the grace of God ! 

We are having blessed times in Islamabad. Our apartment is very comfy and cozy and lots of windows which bring breeze to freshen up our day. Weather is perfect which keeps us on move. Though muggy and airless days are coming from mid July and outdoors activities can be difficult,yet we are enjoying the moment in our hand blissfully right now 🥹

Our eldest son and Gabi visited Norway last week for three days. He went to attend the award ceremony on the completion of  Sofie’s masters . After arriving in Norway they spent first day in Sofie’s home in the city. And next day they went to live in Sofie’s parents beach house. Photos are taken on various occasions meanwhile.i hope you will enjoy them as we did♥️

Sofie is very nice and active young lady, eldest son admires her strength and insight in her lifestyle, here both are having tea most probably as I can see two cups full of coffee or tea there , I believe this stunning sitting place is designed beautifully for this purpose only 🥰 this is Sofie’s home and when eldest son shared this picture it was 9:30pm . I think this is the season when sun doesn’t set for six months in Norway. It’s such a happening sight for people like me who can’t imagine sun shine in night time 🤗🤔🫢

It’s day when both couples left to attend the master’s ceremony.

On right is standing Sofie’s husband, very smart ,intellectual man . He has done PHD in some very important subject ( forgive me for forgetting his name and details as right now I am under the effect of new medication,details in next post )

      
I want to congratulate dear Sofie who by the grace of God has achieved so much in such a young age mashallah! She is in her mid twenties and she has completed her masters degree already. And she has such a lovely family of loving husband and cute child mashallah ! Our heartfelt prayers and best wishes for her future accomplishments 🤞🙏♥️

                          I loved her smile, I felt very touched when eldest was having online time with us ,she appeared and said hello and few lines which showed her sweet nature and beautiful heart 🥰

      I noticed wind was quite strong when they were walking around, I think they are trying to say that strong wind is blowing them away, I assumed that because it reminded me our walk to school in my childhood days and wind would push us back when we were on the peek of the hills,sometimes we would wide spread arms while laughing 

Eldest son appreciates how dear Gabi can’t sit idly and likes to participate whatever is going on in the house. I see she is helping to set the table for everyone to enjoy meal ☺️

     
It’s fun to play board and card games,specially to avoid the waiting time until food is ready or after the meal when you want to enjoy nice gathering of friends and family instead anything else. I truly miss such special family times before the internet was here to disperse everything 😏

   Can you see how serious both kids are, if such seriousness was shown in world matters like climate change or wars things would have been different I believe 

     Eldest son and Gabi are going to the sea side here , a clip next to it shows that eldest son swam in the water which I believe was very cold and I don’t know how he could go in such cold water.Gabi couldn’t dare though and sat on a side instead waiting for him 

      Eldest son told that Norway is very beautiful, and when snow is gone, earth is decorated with greenery and pretty flowers 

                         Red boat floating on the water looks like a hope rising in broken heart 🥹

       

             I wonder where this lovely couple is heading and what is this fenced slopy step case 

Both are sitting before the beach houses and I think Gabi is trying to show something on palm ,maybe a butterfly, it reminds me time who flies by smoothly ,it’s moments fly away like a butterfly one after another and all remains back is colour of them shining on our palm!

             Another gorgeous shot by dear Sofie, sky ,water and flowers all beautiful gestures of nature 🥰

     

This one is captured beautifully! A perfect moment of  the evening right sun goes down quietly after exhausting day and night spread her calming shawl on the face of sky full of glittering stars 🥹 though here a thin layer of clouds has covered the stars for a while. It’s a wonderful sight!

Two friends having conversation over the deck and the cute pet is enjoying the beauty and perfection of this moment.

This photo looks like a stunning piece of art to me ,timing is magical which captivates the whole scenario to perfection♥️ 

This lovely arrangement of flowers reminds of dancing people in the circle on various occasions and festivals, do you see such dance is obvious in so many aspects of the nature. For example arrangements of petals around the pistil , solar system or particles in the atom ,this is called dance of life and seems to have no end 

   Friendship is such a beautiful and unique relationship in which we choose our friends on the basis of  true love and respect we feel for each other. A gravity of common interests and shared feelings. Our sincere tendency to support each other in good and bad times!  This lovely photo touches my heart and I feel grateful for all the love and affection eldest son shares with precious people in his life ♥️🥹🙏

Heartfelt thanks for being with me till the end dear friends 🙏

Your kindness and support fills me with joy and new strength and make me keep sharing with you my life and my feelings 🥹

Sending love and prayers to you all and to all you love!!!

In Islamabad Now

 Hello Dear Friends 

Hope and pray that all of you are having blessed time despite all the madness going on in this world!

I want to apologise for being behind in my blogging. I truly miss reading your posts and knowing how are you doing. I have been trying to keep visiting blogs during the business still it’s not enough. We have come to Islamabad last week and thanks to kind God and then our very sweet eldest son we are living in a quiet luxury apartment in nice area!

Weather difference is incredible and very reliving for us thankfully. Can you imagine sitting without fan and still getting no sweats 🤗

To be honest we feel utterly lucky and blessed to have such a caring child who tries to make life easier for us by the grace of God🥹🙏♥️

May Allah reward him for what he does for his family 🙏♥️ and all children are included in my prayers!!! 

Actually I fell ill before one day we had to travel. Yes it was typhoid,my beloved disease who doesn’t like to leave me alone and keeps visiting my body once in a while ☹️

But medicine helped me to go through the 12 to 14 bus journey thankfully. I am feeling better and I don’t know it’s a good idea or bad I am taking four to five kilometres walk since three days. Islamabad is irresistible to not take walks and I know I get hardly two months here .

Precious friends heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and generosity throughout and I will say that your support is my strength 🥹♥️🙏

I will be sharing more soon though windstorms and heavy rains are predicted in next week and outings can be postponed for a while.

Will be visiting you asap 🤞

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

Life Is An Interesting Struggle

 

Hey beautiful Souls! 

Hope blooming in the spring of  your existence beautifully and sharing your light with everyone around you ♥️

I know I am being repetitive but weather element is highly magnified these days and I have to say it again that our weather is really hot these days . Temperature has risen to the 50 centigrade and above 🥵

We celebrated Eid of sacrifice three days ago but honestly I couldn’t  feel anything but the laboured breathing,excessive sweating and fatigue 😥

Every summer in southern Pakistan reminds me that how powerfully weather affects our lives and behaviour! The only joy I felt meanwhile was having our younger son with us! He has some more days with us thankfully and is going to join us for our summer trip to Islamabad 🥹

Being a mother I am happy to hear that!  Actually he has got some issue with one of his assignments which he completed in the university class room but couldn’t submit in hurry as he was not feeling well. His teacher said she will submit his assignment and he can leave . But later at the end of the semester he learned that he lost one credit! He was really upset and protested in the office. His teacher testified that it was her fault and that she had forgotten to submit his assignment! That matter stretched to the end of the year sadly and now he has to spend four months from August to December in the university just for one credit!! He is still upset and stressed. Our eldest son and we are trying to convince him that he needs to let go as four months aren’t big deal. 

I hope things will improve in better place and weather 🤞

She is the adopted daughter of  my youngest brother in law . She is turning two years old next month. When she entered our house on the Eid morning with her father,we all chuckled and laughed instantly because how she had worn the cultural hat of her father and walked with confidence like big man lol 

Isn’t she so cute 🥰

Hubby and both sons on Eid morning after Eid prayer and breakfast,no matter how many years passed (ten almost) we ,I miss eldest son on Eid day terribly 😔 he called on the Eid evening and we 

Despite his tension younger son made this hinna design on my hand ,he was tired because of he had travelled in bus whole night. Best part he had in mind and he offered me to apply hinna on my hands .heat was so intense and I refused to do my other hand ☹️

    This and three pictures below are taken in our BnB stay in Karachi in  January 2026 before the arrival of sweet Gabi !, apartment was on 7th floor but due to be in the centre of the city it was quite noisy and crowded area. Although it didn’t affected us because of the high rise place. I liked the wall decoration all over the apartment, I thought i will capture the whole decoration but forgot sadly,these were from living room where we spent most of the our time , I would stare at this tree and feel it was very philosophically done ,what do you think??

   Design of this mirror would make me think of revolving galaxies immediately, do you too find it impressive and mysterious??

    I  found theses two photos very intriguing , it seems that some young intuitive mind was Involved in all the details, I wonder if.  other visitors would have noticed the depth of decoration too because I feel it’s amazing and reflects the modern aesthetic of human thinking 

     During our two weeks stay,I would get up first ,mostly around 7:30 or 8am and would sit on the chair you can see on right, sun would stay low and close and environment would feel soothing, sometimes bird chirping would come from the balcony and see little fellows coming and going. Sky would feel so calm and beautiful, those were lovely moments which will stay with me forever ! 

           We stayed in two different apartments in Karachi and both had paintings of the whirling dervish ! I was very happy to see such paintings from close because I had found them immensely profound and beautiful 🥹 everything in the universe is orbiting itself and around something else too ,it definitely makes sense to me because it shows how love works within the the veins of universe and within our lives 🥰  can you imagine life without love?? Love of anything ??

Below few flowers I have captured during our evening walk in Islamabad in previous trip to Islamabad 2025

      At the end I am sharing this favourite photo from beach tour in Karachi with eldest son! Here eldest son is showing collection of his sea shells he has picked up by walking on the shore. I find it fascinating because it appears like we all pick up things by making various choices and our life showcase it gradually!

Does anything come to your mind about this?? 

Dear friends heartfelt thanks for your support and encouragement which strengthens my heart and makes me keep sharing ♥️🙏

God Bless you all ♥️🙏

Light Is Whole. A poem By Me

 Getting here , opened eye 

I started it with my cry

Without knowing for whom and why 

Looked for him in everything passing by 

Following wishes, chasing dreams 

Health and comfort,loads of things 

Couldn’t quiet  inner screams 

Deep inside rustled unfolded means

My heart sang nurtured with love 

Soul soaring triumphant dove 

But Pulling strings from above 

Someone kept testing my nerve 

Holding me back from worldly games 

Detaching from all my claims 

Pushing into thoughts insane 

Reconsidering  “loss and gain “

Asking for , look more deep 

Hidden Truths if I can seek 

Turning world to place so bleak 

What have I done to deserve this cheat 

Why created this puzzling place 

Giving everything a crazy pace 

This emptiness,what is this space

Can I fill it by running an endless race ?

Overwhelmed  by too much query 

Ego crumbled with fear and fury

I kept walking through places and seasons 

With obvious existence and unknown reason 

Ages went by ,I was old and weak 

My body torn  and soul to bleed 

Fell of ground with breath just last 

Saw drop of light spreading so vast 

Diminishing the universes  whole 

Making everything bright and bold 

Liberating from the cage of anxiety 

Dissolving me  ,into its entirety !

Hello dear friends,thanks for reading my poem till end. It’s about genuine feelings I have been experiencing about the Divine and how I feel He keeps me close by holding my attention all the time.

God Bless You All 🙏♥️

Hot Weather, Reading A Book Again And Again, And A Curiosity About….

 

Hello  Lovely People!

Hope and pray that you are having blessed days and favourable weather 🤞

It’s been more than two weeks our weather has turned extremely hot 🥵 45 centigrade today.

Cooking is risky task when 10 by 10 kitchen with two exhaust fans seems like an oven because of the sweating and heat 🔥 

Heat becomes more unbearable after sunset when walls of the house release heat they have absorbed throughout the day ☹️😞😭

We are having guests every once in awhile despite such hot weather which is unusual. Yet life is blessing worth being grateful for. Our summers are really tough and tough times feel longer and difficult . With age I just pray for strength to go through this phase smoothly 🙏

Our temperatures are spinning around 45 to 48-9 which makes it hard to sit down and read because you got a long day. I feel sad because of this! Still I am reading Prisoners Of Geography by Tim Marshal in breaks . Its first chapter is about Russia and I have read it three times until now to understand it better🤔. Now Reading second chapter China which seems easier than compared to previous one.I am rereading it again.Book is very interesting and full of knowledge worth knowing in order to understand how geopolitics works in the world and why the countries behave the way they do . I believe book will take time to get finished because it’s details are bit complicated for me and I have to read them few times to sustain what I want to learn. 

And yes a question which was springing in my mind since long but slipped away every time I would write post .

As you know that I am an emotional person . When I watch some movie or show,I feel that my empathy is sided with heroic characters. Sometimes central characters are not heroes but bad guys disguised in good character. My curiosity is if everyone feels the same way??

Or is it possible to stay neutral from start to end??

Did you realise how you feel while watching movies or shows,do you too get  involved morally with characters trying to do right thing ??

I was watching Chestnut Man last night , it’s about good detectives chasing serial killers. It’s second season. The leading lady detective is killed by the criminal suddenly. I felt sad and disappointed because I thought she is the permanent character of the series. It took sometime to get out of this feeling,I had to remind myself that nothing is permanent here whether on screen or off screen.

Please try to respond my question dear friends so I can figure out if I am normal or way too emotional? 

Thanks for your love and support on previous post 🙏

I feel honoured and blessed believe me 🥹♥️

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

Jahangir Park Visit, A Walk Through Bahria Town And Salute To A Pakistani Tourist Guide In UAE!

  

Hello Sweet People!

Hope sharing your sweetness with everyone around and making your surroundings a beautiful place for this world!

Our weather is getting hotter quickly which is expected with the start of the May . I don’t know I should be grateful or not for the recent snowfall,hail storms and heavy rains in most parts of the country which bring some relief to our southern region for few days. Such weather here is unlikely in this period of time except light rains in northern part until monsoon season arrives. Climate change is causing damage to people and places not prepared for such intensity of the weather. When roof or house collapse and people get injured or die it takes away the sense of joy delivered by better and less hot days

Hubby and me are following news regularly since the war started, we are hoping for both countries will continue to prefer to be on table for peace talks instead of fighting in the battlefield which brings only destruction to humanity and leaves scars that stay for decades. 

I feel encouraged how common people want to live in peace with each other. Even their brains are being washed through media and social media still most of the people stay aware of the fact that war is not the way to bring peace. It’s against law of attraction and anything that opposes nature’s laws causes suffering and chaos only.

I wish there was a way for common people to choose between war and peace instead few people in power,because they can think only for themselves . I hope in  far future things will change for the better 🤞

Thank you dear friends for your support and love and heartfelt comments on my previous post! I was missing my lush hilly village and our hilltop home which would provide a brief overview of valley! And this poem was created through nostalgia to relive the past 🥰

In the news sometimes there is a tiny news like a bloom among thorns that lightens up the spirit. Today it was about a Pakistani man who rescued a lady suffering from heart attack during climbing the high stare case  Ras Ul Khaimah stairLink here in UAE . He walked three hours on narrow exposed terrain to reach nearest emergency center while carrying that Filipino woman on  his back !  This melts my heart with utter delight and gratitude,not only because the man belongs to our country Pakistan but to realise that no matter how much darkness is there,light still finds its way to brighten our souls with faith in goodness 🥹🙏 . I  think not just Pakistani people but whole humanity feels proud of what Faisal Shamani did 👍🥹♥️

Today sharing few photos of our trip to Karachi in January dear friends. One day when eldest son was busy with office work,hubby and me along with both of our younger sons visited a huge park  situated in the centre of the city . Though it was disappointing to see that zoo of the park had lost most of its wildlife sadly due to lack of funding and careless management. Yet it was beautiful because of having old tree in abundance and long tranquil trails that add natural element when we enter the park .hope you will find them enjoyable because I loved strolling around.

     

A fresh environment welcomed us which was a pleasant surprise because outside the park life is crazy. Karachi is densely populated city eighteen million people,and it is called mini Pakistan because people from all corners come here for the sake of job opportunities.  It creates many challenges among which noise pollution is one thing. This gorgeous and lush park stands within the heart of the city and offers people lost in tough routine of life a relaxing environment to find a peace of mind and breathe in the nature for a while.

 I saw this lovely sight before entering the park life, in Karachi flocks of pigeons can be seen on some places where people are too generous and drop these beautiful birds some foods, grains or seeds , the child on the left in the picture is with his father and I saw him spread handful of grains before pigeons,there were other signs that people left something to eat for the birds , I found it sweet and touching ♥️

   We had come to the park after breakfast and it was quite early . Park had some people,families and children enjoying the calming breeze and soothing views. Like most of the big cities people start day late in Karachi so when we left we noticed that visitors have started to come in groups. I assume park might remain packed in evening time but small amount of people come and go during the day except weekends when it overflows.

                   Despite the zoo was closed wandering through serene pathways was lovely experience 

For me biggest attraction was the old trees with wide thick trunks 🥹 I just loved looking at them and taking pictures,i wish there were signboards mentioning their age. Most of the trees seemed old and had special appeal throughout the widespread park. I wanted to explore more but park was huge and kids started to whine about being late to their other activities. It’s sad new generation is missing their regular contact and relationship with Nature ! Nature is main source for our mental and physical wellbeing and it scares me how quickly people are getting away from nature!

     Walking through such places brings back memories of my hometown,hills ,stream,fields and gardens of  fruits, and I feel grateful that in my memories my village is still alive 🙏🥹

    I loved the display of colourful umbrellas above, we see such stunning views in Murree hill station where rain is unpredictable and umbrellas can be needed anytime by the tourists, but here in Karachi where rain is not frequent event such exhibition is totally for the  aesthetic pleasure of visitors 

                  This lone fountain not so far from the entrance was adding glory to the park’s beauty 

      

                Children playing on the play area sounded lovely like the chirping birds on the trees 

This photo and all below are taken in the Bahria Town where we moved to have Gabi , one evening when we were returning to our residence after grocery,I spotted this pretty bird picking food from the grass , it was such happy surprise as I took many shots excitingly 🥰

                                                    Can you guess the name of this bird 

One day hubby and me got golden chance to get along with our elder son (one studying in university) . Bahria town is huge model town , for some unknown reason larger part of this beautifully planned city is empty, we decided to take a walk through the streets, when we asked to elder son to join he agreed surprisingly, on the way I took many pictures to seize the moments spent in this beautiful calm frozen town.

We saw This gorgeous tree with stunning red leaves on the way through the town in many gardens. Hubby picked up one of its fruit fallen on ground and broke to find out , he then told its almond tree, it was my first time I saw almond tree. We use almonds but never knew how it looked like,it’s very beautiful ♥️

       Few gardens were grown by colonies and only people belong to them were allowed to enjoy them 

   All city buildings had lines of various trees around them,it gives heart a joy to see nature peaking through jungle of cement ,I wish all towns were privileged with such luxury 🥹

      Sometimes our son’s phone would chim with text and he would step away to respond, new generation needs to learn that it’s okay to stay still for a while ☺️

                                                                           Ah. gorgeous 

          Charming houses lined up in the both sides of the town when pass through private narrow roads 

          I asked son to walk ahead so I can take photo , my family get annoyed sometimes when I take lots of photos but only when place is so nice and worth it 🥰

 

      Same request I made to hubby and his support is unconditional always which is greatly appreciated ♥️

Dear friends big thanks for being with me till the end 🙏♥️

Your support means lot to me! 

I will take leave now . Please stay healthy and safe ,God Bless You all 🙏♥️
