8-yr old girl went to the office with her dad. As they were walking around the office, the girl started crying. Her father asked what was wrong with her.
As the staff gathered around she sobbed loudly, Daddy, where are all the clowns that you said that you worked with?
Neighbour orderded via Foodpanda.
The guy showed up 5 minutes before Iftari.
They paid him and he was leaving but they stopped him.
Asked him to sit in their lawn at a table and chair.
They then served him some Iftari and once done he left.

Thot about doing a thread on growing up and living as a minority in PK since the 70s. Its been a mixed bag a lot of hate, some love and much indifference. Even a separate electorate till 2000s that many today dont know about. In the end its my home too & hard not to forget that.
Went to have doodhpati this evening and while there a man came over gave 4000rs and left. Moments later the servers prepared 64 plate of paratha some gravy and chai serving it to the scores of underprivileged waiting nearby.

Although been a few years now but it's like riding a bike.
We just know and no TV alert needed.

Here's a suggestion knock on every door in dha bahria and other luxury residential areas across Pakistan. Demand proof they are tax filers. If not, then slap them with an instant fine of 1000 dollars minimum. Block CNIC passport till they deposit fine & file returns.
Lady was checking her partner's phone and saw a contact named COVID19 & she called the number and her own phone rang.

Dust thou art and unto dust though shall return.
Our (Cyril & Norbert) Mother who passed away last evening was laid to rest today at the Christian Cemetery in Karachi.
Karachi is ❤️
This is the amazing Tukra Bun. So known because the steak is shredded or made into bits aka Tukra.
The guy making it is 3rd Generation.
His grandfather started it, his father continued and now he sells.
I only eat the original recipe that the grand dad made.
In Karachi in just a decade we've gone from 10000 to approx 5000 buses.
The green line bus project is crawling.
10 new buses were introduced about 2 years ago on Sh.e.Faisal
We continue to build singal free road after signal free road for miles and miles
🤦♂️
Tragic news in Karachi where father and son were killed in their shop in Korangi in past 24 hours and the wife died in grief shortly after their funerals.
Mugging gone horribly wrong.
So PPP destroyed the economy.
PTI said they have the man for the job.
8 months in kick their loyal man out.
Replace him with...... wait for it......
The PPP finance minister ...
Pakistan Major Nationwide power Blackout following tripping in NTDC transmission.
Resolution will take a while as the grids get re-energized in phases to avoid further tripping.
Neighbour stops me on my walk.
Never spoken before so curious what it's about.
Points to his 2nd floor balcony where a new light has been installed.
Says when you walk past here it's dark and the road is a bit broken. I put light so you can walk in comfort.
🙏
So this Govt has just reduced my take home salary twice in one year by raising the income tax rates and at the same time increased the cost of everything I buy.

Last night for the first time in at least 8 years found all the shops, restaurants open and no chaos at sea view. It was like it used to be. It is how it should always be.
Happy New Year K❄R🎉CHI
Stay Blessed 🙏 This is H🧡ME.
Got my kids involved in distributing this heatwave kit put together by
@afiasalam
and co.
A bottle of water with a spray nozzle to cool yourself.
A towel to wipe away the sweat.
A cap to protect your head from overheating.
Sachets of ORS to replenish depleting salt levels.
Last night a lady stopped her car every few meters opened the boot pulled out a blanket and handed it out. Some asked if they could select. Under the pink is a white haired old man who selected his.
Karachi is 🧡
This is the absolute farce that PPP has imposed on Karachi. You have a minister who picks up garbage in half the city doesnt in the other half and those who have to arent given the funds to do so and then they have the audacity to say it's not ours.
کراچی کا کچرا اٹھانا اتنا مشکل نہیں لیکن سندھ کے وزیر بلدیات سعید غنی کچرے کے بدبودار ڈھیر پر کھڑے ہو کر بتا رہے تھے کہ یہ کچرا اٹھانے میں کیا مشکلات ہیں اور میں اپنی ابکائی روکتا رہا۔۔ کراچی بچاؤ پاکستان بچاؤ

you are growing on me..
First you rain cats dogs and camels.
Next your roads are dry as a bone hours later.
Then you produce a decent chai paratha.
My maid comes to work in DHA ij abaya hijab face covered dark glasses socks gloves. can not see a strand of hair, eyelash nor a nail.
Yet car drivers honk at her.
Motorcyclist ride into her.
She's been offered lifts by strangers.

Asked how much
Spelling your name and hearing them pronounce it in Pakistan you are guaranteed to hear a new pronunciation every single time and its never close to the actual.
But my favourite has to be
"Noor Butt Al-Media"
The Memons of Karachi have setup a center to vaccinate members of the community who qualify under the Govt rules. The vaccines are provided by the Govt.
This community initiative can help dispel any mistrust and ensure wider acceptance.
More communities should step forward.
Of course the numerous neighbors thru the years knocking the door seeking Brandy to cure a cough and being shocked to find out ours was a house that didnt have alcohol
Bank called office & asked for me. Were informed no such person works here.
They call my mobile & tell me my office contact details are inaccurate.
Give them the number they say yes but they say you don't work there.
Called office to find out the person asked for "Noor Butt"
Sindh has done the same and today found several infected.
Right thing to do by both Sindh and KP Govts because the Taftan quarantine was questionable.
Keep up the good work
@Jhagra
and
@murtazawahab1
19 KP passengers quarantined at Taftan have been requarantined by the Govt of KP. All are being tested for the safety of their families and the general population.
I made sure to personally speak to them at office today on VC, to ensure they are comfortable & well looked after.
