Some Eid Photos And A Link Of A Video

Hello Sweet Hearts !

Hope picking  goodness from the each moment in hands by the grace of God!

The terribly hot weather has literally blown our mind these days . It seems tough to survive through such extreme heat with age . The power load shedding has been extended as well which makes it harder actually still i am grateful for everything God has bestowed upon us as his people ! In return all we can do is be grateful ,keep trying to be better through all kinds of struggle life offers .Sharing some Eid pics which i could not earlier because i really missed elder son this time and could not convince myself to share photos with just three of us . Although we are thankful that our youngest son is still with us and it can take him one year or so to reach in university! I wonder what will Eid look like then to us . Hope you will enjoy simple shots of Eid day except one pic of mutton biryani that shared my younger son from Karachi .He made his lunch with meat gifted by one of his close friends .  

         i created this flower with hena while missing my younger son who does this for me every year,he asked me to take photo and share so he can see what i could draw ,mess but it worked 

  hubby 's quick art on left hand ,he wrote Eid Mubarak in urdu and quick stars ,he said so and i could not denied that they are not stars lol yet they look good when feel love behind the effort i guess :)

   thankfully three of my sons are good cook ,mutton biryani made by younger son in Karachi ,looks fantastic and delicious :!

                                     our summer garden made our Eid images alive 

    our younger son has joined the gym after finishing his college studies and preparing for Sat as well 

   Hubby and me are happy to have garden that fills our soul with serenity and happiness everyday by the grace of God !

Thanks for being with me dear friends!

health peace and happiness to you and to all you love!

Gratitude !!!!!!!!!

 Hey Kind Hearts !

Hop beating beautifully on the rhythm of life 

I want to thank you all of you from the bottom of my heart for all the sweet and generous comments you left on my previous post !

This is always an amazing and comforting feeling for me as blogger that i have such kind friends here on blogging land who show love ,concern about things happening in my life and share their priceless thoughts and views about it . I really appreciate your love and support and want to say that it truly matters for me and gives me strength to keep sharing my life with you all unhesitatingly because i have developed  habit of seeing you all as my own family and it is beyond my control!

We got thunderstorm and heavy rain night before last day which transformed our weather and brought some really needed relief thanks God ! Despite no airy since it rained for two hours almost yet we are having nice bearable few days and hoping for more grace of God in future !

Although on the other hand it is heartbreaking to see how fires in California are causing trouble for so many residents ! we been watching bbc videos about recent weather conditions actually and how unusual heat is taking over various parts of the world . I am keeping all the people suffering with heat and fires in my prayers ! may God bring sooth and ease to them and to all of us amen !

As we celebrated our Eid Ul Adha on 17th June despite our both elder sons were away we are utterly grateful for the online time we could spend with them during three Eid days specially .It helps so much to sad parents who have kids abroad or in another city indeed!

My younger son was invited by one of his close friend where he spent whole fourth day of Eid with his friend and his family .He told the food was delicious and company great which pleased us as parents . The mother of his friend gifted her some dishes and raw meat (mutton) to cook . 

 We get plenty of beef and some of mutton on Eid of sacrifice from friends and family . As hubby does not eat beef anymore since more than decade he distributes all the meat in his brothers . He keeps some portion of it for our younger son who likes beef little bit. Yesterday hubby boiled all the beef on huge pot ,then he crushed it in the mortar ,mixed spices and made the flat kebabs for our younger son so he can fry and eat them later . He freeze kebabs in the freezer.

It took him hours to prepare all this .My younger son and i helped him but most of the job was done by him . He is really an amazingly loving and  responsible father for his kids and it makes me feel proud of him each day more !God bless him always!

I visited my mother in law on Eid day evening . We too have been having guests constantly since eid day . One of my sister in law left while with her family. I love the kindred spirit of Eid honestly !

Thank you again for being with me always and believe it or not you guys are always in my thoughts and prays without any conscious effort !!!!!!!

hugs and blessings to all of you ! health ,peace and happiness to you all and to all you love precious friends! 

Photos Shared By Eldest Son From His Trop To Greece

Hey precious friends !

Hope and pray all is well at your corner and enjoying the changing weather thoroughly !

Our June has been extremely hot despite windy . We were excited that will manage to spend July in Islamabad but as hubby's sudden transfer order has made it impossible for us we are trying to survive harsh days by staying indoors mostly under the fan during daytime and ac at night .It took few days to feel recovered from trauma that we are not visiting our native town this year. Our Eid Ul Adha will be celebrated on 17th June .Government has announced three holidays but my younger son is not coming as he says it will be hard for him to travel during hot weather for few days when living at home time will be two days hardly. He promised to join us in August for ten days  before his next semester starts in September hopefully! It will be our first Eid without both of our sons actually :( 

On positive note my eldest son returned from Greece trip with his best friend . They stayed there for the four days and according to my son the drives were long from one island to another but heavenly and they so enjoyed the 30 pus temps and sunny sky as London has gray sky throughout the year which makes him feel depressed sometimes.

Sharing photos that my son shares with us. I instantly fall in love with stunning blue sky!

 can't say if it is same but my son adored most his stay in a small village where it was hard to decide what was more awesome meals or views 

Gabriel is the name of this young elegant lady who is friend of my son . According to my son she is a wonderful and intellectual person . They have started to date since few months and we are hoping for the  best for them as parents with heart full of best wishes and prays! hope things can lead them to beautiful future together soon amen!

this orange tree fills the image with it's vibrant presence ,everything looks calm ,sunshine and clear sky are magical indeed 

                                         shots from the roof top of restaurant probably 

                     scrambled eggs with feta cheese and tomatoes ,must be fulfilling without bread  

                              sorry i did not ask him what is this place .museum it can be or so 

my laptop screen has such desktop image with  a lady running on beach ,i loved this similar sight 

                                                         Gabbie  has delightful smile i feel !

  such driving can be so liberating  and full of fun ,my son told he drove for hours without feeling tired 

                             meals on roof with spectaculars scenes  around is priceless always 

                                       i wonder if it was sunrise or sunset but beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for bearing with me dear friends !

i will be trying to keep up with you all as much as i can during Eid days .

Milk ,Water And Fennel Water's Miracle

Here we have milkman who drops milk daily at morning time . But it is customary  in cities only. In village customers go and buy milk straight from the house of milk sellers. I did this back in village till my early teens (12 probably) . Since the packed milk arrived in the market many advertisements are shown to discourage buyers from buying whole milk direct from the buffalo owners by revealing how unhealthy it can be for people . I don't know advertisement in your part of land but most common and true sounding one here is that the water that milkman adds to the milk can be contaminated and life threatening .Even it could not convince us for buy packed milk instead of whole milk that we think is most nutritious and complete meal. As we both belong to times when whole milk was most trustworthy food item among all .It seems tough to switch it with something new and unknown thing. All original qualities of milk are extracted before packing it as so called milk actually which makes it scary and useless for those who seek genuine and simple things.  

Since sometime milkmen are being tricky and demanding. They ask to raise the price each one or two month and still supply milk full of water. We used to make  curd or yogurt with portion of milk we take daily. If the milk has more water the yogurt would not form at all or properly. It's happening frequently now and even we are paying their favorite prices it seems impossible to get better milk .I did not use the word  the word "pure milk" because there exist no such thing here anymore.

Our milkman stopped our milk supply few months ago despite we paid what he wanted .He said this is the season when all buffalos are with child so it will be temporary. It never happened before in thirty years of milk purchasing actually. 

I have watched in old English  tv shows how milk bottles were dropped on the door of houses by van man. It would bring pleasant feeling regarding milk supply system there in my little mind. My father would tell sometimes that unlike eastern people , western people like cow milk more. I would listen and continue to focus on show without asking any question. I think i regret that carelessness little bit now. I wonder if same milk supply is available still in your area and with same standard of milk ??

We were missing taking milk before leaving for bed these days when one night before dinner i put three cup of water on stove after dinner and added one and a half table spoon funnel to it. I covered it on slow heat and turned off the stove when it was boiled for ten minutes at least. Three of us took one cup full of Luke warm funnel water .I felt lot better next morning surprisingly. When i mentioned this to hubby he agreed to it that he felt his head clear and lighter than any previous day. Since then funnel water has replaced milk in our routine and i think you must give it a try too .Please share if you feel the same or anything else .I think it is worth trying and miraculous. What else one can ask for if the head is light and focused in morning as to get on such head or mind state one have to wait for long time and sometime it is beyond approach all day completely.

Thanks for being with me precious friends! 

Your kind comments are always appreciated and mean lot to me.

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