Reading, Shopping And Two valuable Photos

 

We are still having slightly cool temperatures from midnight to till early morning that are from 13 to 33c . Days have got quite longer i must say but still shorter to finish chores and due jobs.I try so hard to meet all the target i set for my day after rising but i miss something when day ends. After recovering from my short backache i have changed my yoga steps and following the exercise only that helped me to recover .It takes half time than previous one which i try to add in my reading time though because i am slow reader so i hardly read twenty pages in one hour at average. Once i hold book in my hand it hurts to put it back and get up to do anything else and this was the reason i could not read for long because i knew how badly i am into reading and i hate leaving it abruptly .But i am glad i could restart my reading once again because this is one of those things in my life that are really close to my heart and deliver true peace of mind. Reading now days "How The Mind Works" by  Steven Pinker an American cognitive scientist who tried to explain poorly understood function of how human mind works as computing machine and as consciousness. Enjoying thoroughly the easy and simple way of writer .One thing that seems so clear that human mind is most miraculous thing in the whole universe. An engine of our body who runs the body .The more we understand it the better we can use it for our benefits .

  if you remember i had mentioned that my younger sister has sent her elder children by her first husband to their father after thirteen years, they have wealthy father and studying at best academies now and living better life by the grace of God! they spent winter one month of their vacation  for the with their mom (my sister) she shared this family photo taken on the third birthday of my youngest niece holding by her father in orange ,on left second is elder son of my sister and on right is my eldest niece ,child in the lap of my sister is niece of her husband so is the right most  

   On Sunday we went to Sukkur for little shopping ,as you know i gifted some necessary things to our elder son living in Karachi for studies so we were lacking some things .Bought this pretty blue blanket ,prices of everything seems to jump so high and out of reach

Keep being kind to yourself and to all around you ! blessings to all of you!!!  

I am not fantasizing death i think ,some blooms

 

I can't say whether i am among those who like to fantasize everything including death . But i am sure that throughout my whole life i hardly could avoid thinking about death even during  happiest days of life when enjoying family gathering ,singing or dancing ,watching comedy laughing loud when i would got up for kitchen or bathroom for a while silence there would whisper in my years that such days won't last and i have to be alone one day leaving for my grave .The horror of being under the burden of tons of soil would catch me in millionth part of second so deep as deep that rejoining of the hustle and bustle seems to have power enough to pull me back .This is weird but despite of such intensity of thoughts i would smile ,laugh and sing along with all .Despite of this occasional grip of death thought i never felt a need to escape from it or sink myself into faces and noise to avoid it. Death remained a firm and dark  truth that stands at the back of all other facts that feel so real ,vibrate and compelling . Death stood at the back of all but tallest one so looking at them would kept me connected to death anyway and every effort to neglect it seemed impossible until my parents embraced death twelve years back and my instinct to avoid thinking about death disappeared silently. Seems that their death has  made me different person to much extent ,one of the most obvious change is fear of leaving all and everything behind and laying in a grave under the ground where no air comes has gone. I have acknowledged that air is no more needed once body stops functioning. Second fear of grave seems appealing now ,seems like if there will be any kind of senses alive in there i would like to mourn a lot for my parents who i could not say goodbye as i had though i would. For all those died suddenly in such natural disasters . I could not cry for some years now ,not because i did not want to but because i don't have to. So when i will lay there and if i could still feel something i will cry a lot..

Am i fantasizing death here ,i mean i love life though living until i am unable to move scares me. I am doing all what i can do to feel nice and fit mentally and physically but it hurts when i have to see so much suffering of people . There is lot on youtube about earthquake predicted in our part of land. Pakistan got earthquake of magnitude 5. something two days before it occurred in Turkey and still shocks of light magnitude are being reported everyday including today. But these are things that we cannot control . So all i can say that we should live to fullest everyday . Spread the light you got in you and sprinkle love and happiness around you .Rest leave on Nature and God. Before something worse happen i want to say you all it was pure joy to befriend with you all ,one among best things of my life ever happened to me!!! 

Among the odds beautiful attract more ,sharing some sweetness of nature from my small garden 

Hugs and blessings

Worst Earthquake In Turkey

 Heard the heartbreaking news about one of the worst earthquake in Turkey and Syria which caused more than six thousand deaths until now. Each life has unique value and thinking of such devastating situations melts my heart down so badly.  Natural disasters are cruel and invade suddenly. I remember an earthquake in my native province that occurred in  8 November 2005 in morning. It had took more than 70000 live and injuries equal to it. Such huge accidents change life of millions forever. Words fail to speak what I feel right now. Just hopping that may who lost their loved ones find content and peace soon and may man can find ways to protect precious human lives through science and technology. 

A Tiny Bouquet Of Small Joyful Moments

Hey amazing hearts! 

Hope beating up gratefully on positive rhythm. 

Our winter is leaving quickly :( yes despite the age protest against cold season still winter is loveable and so much welcomed by people of southern Pakistan sindh where summer is longer ( up to nine months sometimes though eight mostly) and horrible. Sweating season make everyone insane almost. So winter seems to us like a desired guest who is wanted and appreciated by all :) Though we want it to stay little longer guest has reached to the door and waving to goodbye. 

I know there are some terrible things happened in my homeland as well but I believe that my words about such traumatic events here can not do any good but only be way to spread sorrow and make more heart heavy so I will try to stick with theme of my blog that reflects my innate attitude towards life. And it is share happiness always because it doubles when do so and keep troubles to yourself because it shows your ultimate Faith on Divine presence who'support is delivered to you when you rely on it. It works fine for me until now. But you all know that I speak about my life issues though not as problem but a test I am going through :) 

Sharing below few pleasant moments dear friends. Hope they will cheer you up too. 

       As I mentioned sometimes that despite many squirrels visit my small garden everyday but they never let me take pictures and run up to the tree when I try to take one from far even. But few days back when I was having second cup of tea after hubby left for the office. One of them running and playing around came and climbed the plant calmly. She even sat there as I couldn't believe my eyes she did so. I put cup on bench and ran inside hastily. Picked up my phone and came close to the plant slowly. She didn't move but seemed she pose for me. I felt concerned f while if something was wrong with her but as I clicked she run down and then upto the tree. I zoomed little. Sor for dim resu my phone camera has become older like me 

    After returning from Karachi we went to see our niece ( daughter of hubby 's sister) who lost her baby when it was one month remained in delivery. We were late though due to our stay in Islamabad, then long sickness,lengthy rainy season and then construction work (3 months). But thank goodness she knew all was real. It was her first baby and both parents were very happy and excited but In fourth of pragnancy she fell loose motion and high fever. Doctors apologized for further treatment as they said she came late when intestinal infection could not be treated. That made her condition worse.parants her husband and whole family was disappointed and prepared to see heartbreaking concequences but as they say that life is death is held by higher power. After losing all hopes one day her husband took to Larkana big city four hours away from khairpur. Doctors told she has to admit immediately. She stayed at hospital for one week and then she, visited once in a week and she recovered withina month. After hearing all the story I asked why doctors who were seeing her refused at first. Her mother told that they asked for huge amount of money two lacs otherwise they cannot do anything. She told despite of all transportation expenses the treatment from Larkana remained below one lac. Such stories shock my soul to core. The doctors who had luxurious life already could not be sensitive to realize the value of another life sadly. I think greed is worst curse given to heartless. She has time left so God saved her though through different source. And this is great by the grace of God indeed 

     You can see her behind all in blue scarf on right 

      My. Most fav view. Lush, soothing and with winter 's comforting sunshine :) 

 We had Lees hope  to see spring blooms this year due to all the long construction work and sever disturbance by things and workers. But we were really happy to see that some of the plants have started to bloom which is amazing. 

Trying to give you idea how big this painting is. We have bought it from Karachi tho we had no idea how we will manage to carry through all the heavily crowded railway platform, then up into train vagan where people are completely unfamiliar with tern "que" and where we will place this 3by3 frame as berth itself is hardly two or few centimeter wide. Yet we can say that to make Impossible, possible all we need is desire, determination and above all focus with consistency and God helps you by aligning universe to support you. OK enough rants. Miraculously we could do it by leaving a berth assigned for painting and we tied it up with berth pipe. 

We wandered In many painting shops that day. I wanted most of them lol but I had bought many books before that so I knew budget was tight. So I filtered this one finally. It had positive glow that seemed uplifting to me :) 

Thanks for reading precious people! 

Please keep taking great care of yourself in all possible ways! 

Health, peace and happiness to you and to loved ones!
