Karachi has been hit by MONSOON rains and I attended a MONSOON wedding yesterday. The father of the bride, young at heart but definitely age has taken his toll on him looked exhausted yet relieved at the joyous occasion. It wasn't a dream daughter's wedding. The ground booked weeks ago was no longer in the category of MARRIAGE LAWNS it was more in the MARRIAGE PONDS category or maybe a POSH word...'POOLSIDE' heheh...
Anyway, a few calls here and an empty pocket there...he managed to get a hotel hall...to get things back on track...GREAT JOB!!!
The prime minister had asked the people to pray for rains...cos its the season where crops require water and there is big shortage...well I AM SURE...there are quite a few believers here...cos Alhumdulillah Allah does listen...but umm...was this really a blessing?....now we have water everywhere....LITERALLY...
In fact it was the first time I saw a MOSQUE filled with water inside...I got off for the Zuhr Jammat and saw the whole road in front as a POOL and the mosque filled with water... my question of 'What about the Jamaat?' was answered in the best possible way... The Maulvi Sahb was near by... 'This IS a chance for Jihad!!'... he pulled up his Shalwar and down he went...doing everything but swimming towards the MOSQUE...way to go Maulvi Sahb...I skipped Jamaat yesterday...
It is almost like, we dont deserve it...or we cant handle it...14 people died...the electricity system is in disarray and not to talk about the POOLS!!! Underpasses FILLED UP....FELL IN!!! Traffic jams....delays...and what not? The most revenue generating city of Pakistan to a standstill...hey we dont need war....or nuclear attacks....JUST SEND US SOME RAIN!!!
So is rain really a blessing?? Food for thought...
